Come on Purdue…

A week after rocking No. 2 Iowa on the road, Purdue got rocked at home by Wisconsin 30-13.

It was a rough game for the Purdue offense, as All-American candidate David Bell managed just six catches for 33 yards in the game. Aidan O’Connell, coming off the best game of his career, struggled mightily, going 24-32 for 200 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

If only this Purdue team played the No. 2 team in the country every week; they’d be unstoppable. A trip to Nebraska is up next, and that doesn’t look as easy as it did a week ago for the Boilermakers.
