Wisconsin vs. Purdue: How to watch, odds, injuries, weather, and history

Here is the Week 4 viewing guide for Wisconsin Football v. Purdue with the odds, how to watch, injury report, and more for the Big Ten West matchup.

In one of the few Big Ten Conference games that does not include a trophy, the Wisconsin Badgers (2-1) travel to the Purdue Boilermakers (1-2) Friday night at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette. After losing a close game against Washington State, the Badgers rebounded with a win over Georgia Southern.

The Boilermakers, on the other hand, have lost two of its first three games. This past weekend, Purdue fell to Fresno State in the season opener and Syracuse. First-year head coach Ryan Walters knows the Boilermakers have to play better if they have any hopes of defeating Wisconsin football Friday night.

Purdue committed 11 turnovers for 127 yards and turned the ball over four times against the Orange last Saturday. Wisconsin, on the other hand, has mastered halftime adjustments. The Badgers have outscored their first three opponents 48-7 in the third quarter this season.

Both the Badgers and Boilermakers look to transfer quarterbacks for leadership on offense. Oklahoma and SMU transfer Tanner Mordecai (67.3% completetions, 702 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs; 2 rush TDs) leads the Badgers, and Texas transfer Hudson Card (65.5% completions, 825 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT; 2 rushing TDs; 3 lost fumbles) leads the Boilermakers.

While the Boilermakers their offensive identity, they will give the ball to star running backs Braelon Allen and Chaz Melusi and look for wide receiver Chimere Dike deep downfield.

Both Wisconsin football and Purdue hope to get a leg up early in the Big Ten West race. Here is the week one viewing guide for Wisconsin at Purdue.
