Purdue 20, Wisconsin 49 - It’s Almost Over

During the broadcast of today’s game on ABC the Aflac trivia question came on the screen. For those that didn’t watch the question was “Who was the starting QB the last time Purdue beat Wisconsin at home?” I immediately knew the answer and it immediately hit me how long ago that was. Billy Dicken was the QB for Purdue the last time Purdue beat Wisconsin at home. 19 years ago in 1997. That’s right, Purdue hasn’t beaten Wisconsin at home in 19 years. Drew Brees couldn’t do it. Kyle Orton couldn’t do it. None of the many QBs since could do it either.
