Wisconsin’s (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) kickoff time against Purdue (4-6, 3-4) for Saturday has been announced. The Badgers and Boilermakers will officially kickoff at 3 p.m. as the game can be seen on Fox.
The game against Purdue will serve as Wisconsin’s senior day as the Badgers will honor 13 players prior to the game.
Purdue is coming off of a bye week while the Badgers were able to retain the Freedom Trophy thanks to Wisconsin’s 37-21 victory over Nebraska as the Badgers have won their past two games.
With Iowa beating Minnesota this past Saturday the Badgers are still in contention of getting back to Indianapolis. A win over Purdue on Saturday and against the Gophers on November 30th would send Wisconsin to the Big Ten championship game.
The Boilermakers are playing for just as much as Purdue needs to win their last two games in order to make a bowl game for a third straight year.
However, Wisconsin has beaten Purdue 13 straight times including the last six times in Madison.
The Badgers were able to beat Purdue last season 47-44 in triple overtime as Taylor rushed for a career high 321 yards and three touchdowns as his third touchdown was the game winner.
