It wasn't necessarily the University of Wisconsin's intent to put on film its most diversified offense of the season before its biggest game of the season.
However, every little bit helps and with their 606-yard offensive explosion in a 45-24 victory over Purdue Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium, the 14th-ranked Badgers sent a message to 11th-ranked Minnesota prior to their winner-take-all game for the Big Ten Conference West Division title next week in Minneapolis.
That message? Happy viewing, Golden Gophers.
It has taken much of the season for UW to find its sweet spot on offense, one that maximizes the running of tailback Jonathan Taylor yet also uses the rest of the talent on the depth chart, especially the deep wide receiver corps.
