Wisconsin Football: Matchup to watch against Purdue Boilermakers

The Wisconsin Badgers(3-4, 1-3) will face off against the Purdue Boilermakers(5-2, 3-1) on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium in Jim Leonhard’s debut at Camp Randall Stadium.

After a strong 42-7 win over the Northwestern Wildcats, the Badgers suffered a close defeat at the hands of the Michigan State Spartans in double overtime last weekend to drop them below .500 on the season.

As they attempt to re-calibrate and get on track this weekend, there’s a certain matchup to watch that could determine the outcome of the game.

WR Charlie Jones vs Badgers Cornerbacks

Purdue receiver Charlie Jones has been on a tear this season, catching 62 passes for 735 yards and nine touchdowns, which currently ranks ninth amongst all FBS receivers.
