If the Boilermaker defense can be assignment sharp, read what Wisconsin is doing, and make plays on Joel Stave, they can eliminate Wisconsin’s ability to make big plays, and take away their running game. The Boilermaker offense must capitalize every time they have the ball. They cannot leave points on the field. If it gets later in the game, Wisconsin will come back to bite them if they rely so much on their defense. Wisconsin will use their running game against them, and the Boilers will fall to one and six, going into the bye week. If the Boilers can give a four quarter battle in Madison, good things will happen for the Black and Gold. The game will come down to whoever has the ball last. The final score will be Boilermakers 28 and Badgers 24.
