PHOTO GALLERY: Pictures From Purdue Football's 35-24 Loss to Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. — Purdue football fell behind early and couldn't dig itself out of a hole in a 35-24 loss to Wisconsin on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium. The team heads into its bye week with a 5-3 record, including a 3-2 mark in Big Ten play.
Sixth-year senior quarterback Aidan O'Connell completed 31 of his 46 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown but was also credited with three interceptions, including a 31-yard pick-six on the opening possession.
The Boilermakers gave up a combined 185 rushing yards to running backs Braelon Allen and Isaac Guerendo. Allen, with 113 yards and a touchdown on just 13 carries for the Badgers, became the first player all season to rush for at least 100 yards against the defense.
Purdue has now lost the last 16 games against Wisconsin dating back to 2004. After the week off, the team will return to Ross-Ade Stadium for a game against Iowa on Nov. 5.
