Why Purdue Will Win

Throw on the Wisconsin secondary, and don’t stop.

Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez was able to hit play after play against the Badgers … but he only threw it 23 times in last week’s 37-21 loss. He was able to bomb away for 220 yards – averaging close to ten yards per throw – but he wasn’t able to connect enough.

Aidan O’Connell won’t have any issues throwing – a lot.

Thrown into the mix with Elijah Sindelar and Jack Plummer out hurt, the freshman winged it 50 times for 271 yards and two scores in the win over Northwestern two weeks ago.

He’s not much of a runner – Martinez gave the Badger D fits – but he’s got the young receivers to spread the ball around to. Wisconsin’s secondary might only give up 154 yards per game, but last year it had a solid pass D, too, and it got hit for almost 400 yards in the wild 47-44 win over the Boilermakers.

Fortunately for the Badgers last season …

“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Wisconsin Will Win

Jonathan Taylor had a DAY.

The best runner after three seasons in NCAA history – passing Herschel Walker last week for career rushing yards as a junior – put the Badgers on his back last season, running 33 times for 321 yards and three scores, averaging close to ten yards per carry.

As a freshman, he rumbled for 219 yards averaging over seven yards per pop in the win over the Boilermakers.

How much is the Purdue defensive front struggling? It allowed over 250 rushing yards to Northwestern.

This isn’t a bad Boilermaker D, but the Wisconsin running game picked it back up after the debacle against Ohio State, coming up with two straight 300-yard days helped by an O line that’s playing well at just the right time.

And then there’s the matter of …

[lawrence-related id=500899]

What’s Going To Happen

Wisconsin has won 13 in a row in the series and 15 of the last 17.

Purdue has been competitive over the last two years, and these two have played some classics in the not-too-distant past, but the Badgers need to win to set up a showdown with Minnesota for the Big Ten West title next week.

It’ll have problems with the Boilermaker passing attack early on, but the formula will kick in. In the final home game of the year. Wisconsin will go out doing what it does best and pound away for another 300-yard rushing day.

Quick thoughts and takes on every Week 12 Big Ten game.


@PeteFiutak

Wisconsin 37, Nebraska 21

Adrian Martinez was fantastic. He was fast, decisive, and he looked like the star for the Husker offense everyone is hoping he’ll be. He threw for 220 yards and a score, ran for 89 yards and a touchdown, Dedrick Mills ran for 188 yards and a score, and Nebraska gained almost 500 yards …

And Nebraska lost by 16. 

Wisconsin got shoved around too much, struggled against the Nebraska running game, and gave up too many big plays, but Jonathan Taylor ran for 204 yards and two scores, QB Jack Coan was fine, Aron Cruickshank retuned a kick for a score, and the D came through when absolutely needed.

The Badgers need to win out and get a loss from Minnesota before they play on November 30th. Nebraska has to beat both Maryland on the road and against Iowa to go bowling.

Northwestern 45, UMass 6

Leave it to Northwestern to be the only team that couldn’t hang a gajillion points on the worst defense in college football. One of the scores came on a blocked field goal.

This was the game to have a whole lot of fun with the passing game. Aidan Smith completed 7-of-13 passes for 76 yards with two interceptions. Wheeeeee!

Evan Hull?! The freshman had four carries all year for 15 yards, and he ripped through the Minutemen for 220 yards and four scores on 24 carries. The Wildcats ran for 335 yards and five scores.

It’s going to take something amazing for the Wildcats to win another game with Minnesota and at Illinois to close. 2-10 would be the worst season since going 2-9 in 1993.

NEXT: Michigan 44, Michigan State 10; Penn State 34, Indiana 27

Why Wisconsin Will Win

Jonathan Taylor continues to be Jonathan Taylor.

He was held in check at times over the previous few weeks, and then he ripped apart a brick wall of an Iowa defense for a season-high 250 yards on 31 carries. The team leaned on its star, and he came up large.

Nebraska’s run defense isn’t miserable, but when teams try to pound away, they don’t have any sort of a problem – Illinois, Minnesota and Ohio State combined for over 900 yards on the ground – and Wisconsin will be more than happy to blast away from the start.

There’s a chance Nebraska never has the ball.

The Huskers try to move with a good tempo and great pace, and they also stall too often and get off the field right away. They’re 113th in the nation in time of possession – keeping the ball for just over 27 minutes per game.

Wisconsin is No. 1 in the nation in time of possession, keeping it for almost 37 minutes per outing. But …

“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Nebraska Will Win

Wisconsin had the ball for over 41 minutes against Illinois, and lost.

The Badger defense might be incredible overall, but it allowed more than 100 rushing yards or more twice – and lost both games.

Nebraska ran for 98 yards against South Alabama in the opener, and ripped off 128 yards or more against everyone else.

Wisconsin has been a killer at home, but lost on the road to Illinois and Ohio State in two of its last three games, and it struggled to put away Iowa at home last week.

It’s possible to hit the Badger secondary with big plays. Iowa got back into the game through the air, Michigan bombed away a bit in its loss, and when Ohio State tried to throw, it didn’t have a problem.

The Nebraska offense might not be steady, but the passing game has been working just fine lately. Expect a few home runs hit by Adrian Martinez, but …

[lawrence-related id=498866]

What’s Going To Happen

How good has Jonathan Taylor been against Nebraska? In two games, he’s been able to crank out 470 yards and five touchdowns.

The Wisconsin defense will have a few meltdowns against a Nebraska offense that has just enough pop to be a wee bit of a concern, but Taylor will go off, and QB Jack Coan will hit third down throw after third down throw.
