The Wisconsin Badgers (5-2, 2-1), carried by another dominant defensive effort and Joel Stave's second consecutive 300-yard passing game, defeated the Purdue Boilermakers (1-6, 0-3) 24-7 on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
For the fifth time in their seven games, the Badgers' defense held an opposing offense to 10 points or under. Redshirt freshman T.J. Edwards tallied 16 tackles to lead the effort.
Also for the fifth time in seven games, a new Wisconsin offensive line combination was used. Despite Purdue being ranked 110th in the nation in rush defense -- giving up 215 yards per game -- the Badgers only managed 96 yards.
