Football: Wisconsin rallies from 14-point, fourth quarter deficit to defeat Purdue in triple-OT thriller

Jonathan Taylor rushed for a career-high 321 yards and scored three touchdowns, including a 17-yard game-winner in triple overtime to give the University of Wisconsin football team a 47-44 come-from-behind victory at Purdue Saturday.

At first, Saturday’s affair in West Lafayette was far from a thriller. With the Badgers down 10-3 at halftime and the offense struggling to make plays once again, Wisconsin seemed poised to suffer back-to-back losses for the first time this season.

Purdue’s senior QB David Blough carved up the Badger secondary for the majority of the game, throwing for 386 yards and four touchdowns in his final home game as a Boilermaker.
