The idea of Wisconsin winning the Big Ten West is still alive, as the Badgers dominated Purdue 30-13 on Saturday.

Wisconsin relied on its powerful running attack as Chez Mellusi ran for 149 yards and a touchdown, while Braelon Allen added 140 yards and two touchdowns. This is the recipe for success for the Badgers. Graham Mertz only threw the ball eight times, and more did not turn the ball over.

The defense continued their great play and now this team is starting to gain some momentum, with a big game against Iowa up next.
