The University of Wisconsin Football team defeated the Purdue Boilermakers with a score of 35-24, giving new head coach Jim Leonhard the win in his debut at Camp Randall Stadium.
It was a successful bounce-back game for the Badgers, who lost in a double overtime heartbreaker last week against Big Ten rival Michigan State. The defeat snaps a 4-game winning streak for the Boilermakers, who have been exceeding expectations in prior weeks. This marks Purdue’s 16th straight loss to Wisconsin, with their last victory over the Badgers coming in 2003.
The star of the game was undoubtedly Wisconsin safety John Torchio.
