Last season’s Wisconsin game felt like a missed opportunity. The Badgers have now won 13 in a row over Purdue. That is the most any team has ever won in a row over the Boilermakers. We were close to ending it last year, however, with a 27-13 lead at home in the fourth quarter. A pair of touchdown catches by Danny Davis III sent the game to overtime and the Badgers prevailed after three extra sessions.
It certainly felt like we blew it. Leading 24-13 Ben Makowski recovered a fumbled punt at the Wisconsin 28 and Purdue eventually had a 2ndand goal at the 1, but managed just a field goal with 9:57 left.
