![]() ![]() ![]() If the offense can continue to fire on all cylinders, I can see Wisconsin’s defense committing to hinder the passing game, thus allowing Brohm to provide single-back sets where Wisconsin reads and expects pass, thus granting Mockobee more room in space, be it a designed run or a swing pass to the tailback out of Boonville, Indiana. That said, Purdue has clearly played better overall football of the two teams over the course of the season. Some of these freshman weren’t even born yet. ![]() Wisconsin has a fifteen-game winning streak against Purdue, but the good guys’ last win against this week’s opponent did come on the road.albeit in 2003. It’s hard to win on the road against the Badgers whether they’re struggling or not, and the Boilermakers know firsthand. ![]() Purdue’s OL has their work cut out for them. But as they seemingly always do, Wisconsin boasts a pretty-darn-good front seven. If Purdue’s constantly transitioning OL can provide Devin Mockobee a big gap or two, I like Mockobee’s chances in making defenders miss in the secondary for some good extra chunk yardage. O’Connell will more than likely exceed 35 pass attempts, as Wisconsin’s clear defensive strength is their rush defense. I see Brohms Jeff and Brian scheming to get some mismatches with the sure-handed tight end Payne Durham, who’s second behind Jones in receptions and targets this season, against a middling Badgers secondary. Aidan O’Connell is still regularly finding Charlie Jones, the one guy most defenses should be looking to stop the most with double teams, but the partners in crime keep getting away with it. The passing game looks great, points are aplenty, and the proverbial train is rolling.Ī win for Purdue is going to take an air assault from an offense clicking quite well in the passing game the Boilermakers possess the 16th-ranked passing offense in the nation against a group of Badgers sitting just outside the top 50 in passing defense. They currently stand at 5-2 (3-1) and are sitting just behind Illinois for top spot in the Big 10 West. The Boilermakers ride into Madison coming off a heart attack of a win at home against Nebraska, extending their winning streak to four. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Wisconsin is favored by 2.5 points at home. ![]()
