    The Wisconsin Badgers host their first Big Ten game of the season on Oct. 5 when Purdue comes to Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, with an 11 a.m. kickoff and coverage on the Big Ten Network.

    Purdue has lost 17 consecutive meetings with the Badgers, dating back to 2003. The Boilermakers entered the year ranked last in the Big Ten preseason 18-team poll, and they come to Madison with a record of 1-3. That includes a 28-10 loss to Nebraska last week in their Big Ten opener.

    Wisconsin also comes in with back-to-back losses. After an opportunistic first half against USC, the Badgers wilted in the second half, falling to California 38-21. That game came two weeks after a lopsided loss at home to non-conference foe Alabama.

    The Badgers desperately need this one if they want to continue their 22-year streak of reaching a bowl game. The Boilermakers, meanwhile, certainly see Wisconsin as a winnable game on the schedule.

    The Journal Sentinel will provide live coverage of the Wisconsin-Purdue game. Watch all the big moments, scoring actions and highlights from the match below.

    Team 1st 2nd 3rd 4th TOTAL
    WIS – – – – –
    PUR – – – – –

    Both teams enter this game with some notable new vibes

    Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Graham Harrell was fired as Purdue’s offensive coordinator, and this will be the first game for newcomer Jason Simmons. The team is in 15th placee in the Big Ten total yards, passing yards and points.

    The Badgers have also undergone some notable changes. Leading rusher Chez Mellusi has left the program, creating some uncertainty in the running back mix. But the Badgers are certainly armed at that position, with transfer Tawee Walker and Cade Yacamelli likely to get the bulk of the load. But the guy everyone is talking about is freshman Darrion Dupree, perhaps the most hyped recruit in this true freshman class and a guy who has been making dazzling plays since camp.

    It’s hard to deny the history of this particular storyline. Jonathan Taylor was fifth on the depth chart before quickly emerging as a go-to force in his freshman year. Braelon Allen didn’t see the field for the first three games of his breakout freshman year. Even Ron Dayne wasn’t considered the obvious ball carrier when he reported to campus. And these three are among the great freshmen in program history.

    Nickel cornerback Max Lofy, who did not play against USC, is listed as questionable for the game against Purdue. In Lofy’s place, Austin Brown started last week and registered a strip sack in the first half.

    The report contains no real surprises. Defensive lineman Aaron Witt and receiver Kyan Berry-Johnson are also questionable. Witt was blocked in the knee against USC, a play that coach Luke Fickell discussed in depth amid concerns for the player’s safety.

    Chez Mellusi is on the list after leaving the team, while quarterback Tyler Van Dyke and James Thompson were also on the list after suffering season-ending injuries earlier this year. Offensive linemen Evan Brown and Leyton Nelson are also out, as are tight end Rob Booker and transfer receiver Joe Griffin, who have been sidelined due to a transfer eligibility issue.

    One note from Purdue: The team has announced that starting cornerback Markevious Brown has been dismissed from the team. A statement from the university did not comment on why, calling it a personal matter. Purdue said it expected Brown to rejoin the team in 2025; he has started 15 games over the past two years.

    Purdue starting right tackle Marcus Mbow played high school football at Wauwatosa East in greater Milwaukee, and the junior returned to a starting role after breaking his leg last season. The high-level athlete has worked his way into the NFL draft conversation.

    Cedarburg native Drew Biber, meanwhile, ranks second on the team’s tight end depth chart. He is a junior and has a career-best six catches for 45 yards so far this year.
