The Wisconsin Badgers are scheduled to face off against the Purdue Boilermakers in Week 6, looking to bounce back after dropping two straight games to top-15 opponents with the Alabama Crimson Tide and the USC Trojans.

It’s been an interesting start to the season for Wisconsin, who had high hopes in the offseason after a number of acquisitions that better fit the roster, but there have been both key injuries and struggles on both sides of the ball that put into question whether the Badgers can extend their bowl game streak.

The Badgers now get a Boilermakers team in Week 6 that has struggled to begin the season, going 1-3 with losses to Notre Dame, Oregon State, and Nebraska thus far.
