导出博客文章The concept is simple enough, but the task is far from easy as No. 6 Wisconsin
continues pursuit of a Big Ten title and a College Football Playoff berth when
it visits Purdue on Saturday (noon ET, ABC) in West Lafayette, Ind.The Badgers
(8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) are No. 7 in the CFP rankings, but the first step is winning
the conferences West Division title. They would do so with victories over the
Boilermakers on Saturday and Minnesota on Nov. 26.Next would be the Big Ten
championship game Dec. 3 in Indianapolis and a matchup with Michigan (No. 2 in
the CFP rankings), Ohio State (No. 3) or Penn State (No. 8). The CFP committee
would be hard-pressed to leave out an 11-2 Wisconsin team, especially if it were
to atone for one of its regular-season losses to the Wolverines or Buckeyes and
own a seven-game winning streak at that point.The Badgers benefited from
Clemson, Michigan and Washington -- then the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 teams in the CFP
rankings -- losing last week, but Wisconsin senior running back Dare Ogunbowale
said: Even if those teams won, we know that if we take care of what we have to
take care of, we can be in a good situation.Weve been doing a good job and coach
(Paul) Chryst has been doing a good job of making sure that we stay focused week
to week and being in the moment and not worrying about the past or the
future.The task at hand Saturday is facing the Boilermakers, and the Badgers are
heavily favored to defeat them for the 11th consecutive time.Purdue (3-7, 1-6)
absorbed its fifth straight loss last week -- a 45-17 thrashing by Northwestern
-- and is 0-4 since interim coach Gerad Parker took over for Darrell Hazell, who
was fired Oct. 16 after a 49-35 loss to Iowa.Wisconsin appears to have a decided
edge in the running game. The Boilermakers own the second-worst rush defense in
the Big Ten, while the Badgers gained a season-high 363 yards on the ground in a
48-3 victory over Illinois last week.Leading the way for Wisconsin was senior
Corey Clement (928 yards, 10 touchdowns this season), who rushed for 123 yards
and three scores. Ogunbowale added 103 yards.Freshman Alex Hornibrook (seven
touchdowns, seven interceptions) and senior Bart Houston (four, three) share the
duties at quarterback and arent asked to do much since Wisconsins winning
formula is dominated by running the ball and defense.The Badgers own the No. 5
rushing defense in the nation and also possess ballhawks in junior safety DCota
Dixon (team-high four interceptions) and senior safety Leo Musso, who recorded
two of Wisconsins four interceptions last week. Musso and junior cornerback
Derrick Tindal each have three picks on the season.Leos meant a tremendous
amount to this defense, Badgers senior linebacker Vince Biegel said. Hes a great
leader both on and off the field. Hes a good person. Hes a leader in the
defensive back room, and its nice as a defensive player, as a front seven guy,
to have a guy like that behind you to have your back.Tindal and senior
cornerback Sojourn Shelton have 13 passes defended apiece, tied for 11th in the
country.Teams that turn the ball over or get turnovers have a lot to do with the
win and loss outcomes, Shelton said. Our whole thing in our room is just being
stingy. If you give us a chance, were going to run with it.Sophomore quarterback
David Blough (21 touchdowns, 16 interceptions) needs 79 yards to record the 12th
3,000-yard season in Purdue history. His favorite target is senior wide receiver
DeAngelo Yancey, who averages 19.4 yards per 37 receptions with seven
touchdowns.Parker, who was elevated from wide receivers coach, vows to turn
things around after the Boilermakers allowed 151 points in their past three
games -- 97 after intermission.We certainly are not excited or happy with the
results of the second half again, Parker said after the Northwestern game. Right
now that is on my watch, and I know the fans are not excited about it. Nobody
will take it more personal than I will.This is not what the Purdue football
program should be, and we certainly have not gotten it done in our own stadium.
Its something that will continue to be addressed by me, and we will find ways to
finish this thing out.
