Wisconsin Badgers vs. Purdue Boilermakers: Series history, all-time record

Wisconsin (2-2) will welcome Purdue (1-3) to Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. CT. It will be the 91st all-time meeting between the two programs. The Badgers have had the upper hand to this point.

The Badgers have won 17 consecutive matchups dating back to 2004 and they own a 53-29-8 all-time record against the Boilermakers. The last time Purdue was able to capture a victory was 2003 when they edged Wisconsin 26-23.

Last season, the two teams squared off in West Lafayette and Wisconsin pulled off a 38-17 win. The Badgers relied heavily on their rushing attack with running back Braelon Allen leading the way with 119 yards and two scores on 16 carries. Additionally, quarterback Tanner Mordecai added 57 rushing yards and two scores on 14 rushes.

Purdue enters this week with a 1-3 record on the year, dropping their contest this past weekend 28-10 at home against Nebraska. The Boilermakers also fired their offensive coordinator Graham Harrell this week after averaging 12.7 points per game over their last three contests.

Wisconsin will enter Saturday’s game sporting a two-game losing streak after falling to USC 38-21 on the road in Week 5. The Boilermakers present Luke Fickell’s squad with arguably their easiest remaining opponent on their schedule. The Badgers will need to take advantage of the opportunity before conference play heats up.
