Grading Wisconsin’s win vs. Purdue

What on earth did we just watch?

For three-and-a-half quarters against the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday, the Wisconsin Badgers struggled, playing the same ugly, grinding football that cost them the Penn State game (and the BYU game, and the Northwestern game...).

With the hour running late in regulation, however, wide receiver Danny Davis III hauled in an amazing, one-handed touchdown catch to cut the Boilermakers’ lead to 27–20. Six minutes and three overtimes later, Wisconsin capped a remarkable comeback to win 47–44.

Jonathan Taylor was the story, rushing for 321 yards on 33 carries and three touchdowns, including two in overtime.
