A funny thing happened in 2015. As Purdue fans, we're used to getting thumped by Wisconsin whenever football is involved. Last year was different, however. Purdue went to Madison and lost 24-7 in a game that was much closer than expected. The Boilers only trailed 10-7 at halftime and the defense played well until giving up two late scores.
Unfortunately, the game played out like many others dur9ing the Hazell era. Purdue had an excellent game plan defensively and played well enough to win, but the offensive playcalling left a ton to be desired. Purdue's lone scoring drive was a mere 29 yards, set up by a long interception return from Leroy Clark.
