We all knew going into this game that Purdue would have to be perfect to walk out of Madison with a victory. They tried their best in the first half but it ultimately wasn’t enough. Purdue recovered three fumbles, grabbed an interception, and pulled out plenty of trick plays, but none of this was enough. As it has been since 2004 Wisconsin simply ran all over the field and Purdue was helpless to stop them. Oh, and Wisconsin hit an incredible 62 yard field goal to end the first half.
Aidan O’Connell played himself one hell of a football game.
