Wisconsin is on its way to its third win of the 2024 season, and first in Big Ten play. The Badgers currently lead the Purdue Boilermakers 28-6 with less than 10 minutes remaining in the third quarter.
While the score discrepancy is significant, Wisconsin has not played the cleanest game thus far. QB Braedyn Locke has thrown two interceptions — takeaways became Purdue’s first and second of the season, respectively.
But the Badgers have dominated in the red zone with two touchdowns on two possessions. Purdue, meanwhile, has kicked field goals on each of its two red zone trips.
One other big difference between the two teams is explosive plays. Wisconsin has connected on two explosive touchdowns, one to Vinny Anthony and another to redshirt freshman Trech Kekahuna.
Kekahuna’s touchdown is the highlight of the afternoon thus far. Wisconsin’s offensive line gave Locke hours to find an open receiver, which he did. The speedster Kekahuna then did the rest:
Locke is 12 for 21 passing on the afternoon for 216 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Kekahuna leads the way with five receptions, 109 yards and the one touchdown.
Wisconsin is looking to hold onto its first victory since defeating South Dakota 27-13 back on Sept. 7.
