Know Thy Opponent 2015: Wisconsin Badgers

This is the preview I dread every year. No team in the Big Ten has a longer winning streak against our Boilers than Wisconsin. Not only is it a win streak, it is often very ugly when we face the Badgers:

2004: Wisconsin 20, Purdue 17 (a.k.a., the Fumble)

2005: Wisconsin 31, Purdue 20

2006: Wisconsin 24, Purdue 3

2009: Wisconsin 37, Purdue 0

2010: Wisconsin 34, Purdue 13

2011: Wisconsin 62, Purdue 17

2012: Wisconsin 38, Purdue 14

2013: Wisconsin 41, Purdue 10

2014: Wisconsin 34, Purdue 16

All of these games can be broken down quite simply: The Boilers could not generate enough offense and could not stop the run even though they knew it was coming.
