Box Score WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Tanner Mordecai ran for two scores and Braelon Allen rushed for 116 yards and two more scores Friday to lead Wisconsin to a 38-17 victory at Purdue.
The Badgers' second straight victory extended their winning streak in this series to 17. Wisconsin (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) also has 10 straight wins at Ross-Ade Stadium since losing last in 1997.
Wisconsin quickly built a 14-0 lead thanks to Mordecai's TD runs of 14 and 6 yards on the Badgers first two possessions. Allen made it 21-3 with a 14-yard run in the second quarter.
But after Wisconsin settled for a 38-yard field goal to open the second half, the Boilermakers (1-3, 0-1) made it interesting.
Boilermakers quarterback Hunter Card sped up the offense and Tyrone Tracy Jr. took advantage by scampering 20 yards to make it 24-10.
Allen's 52-yard run set up another field goal and then Card found an opening as he sprinted from the harsh mark closest to Purdue's sideline across the field for a 6-yard TD to cut the deficit to 27-17.
Wisconsin sealed it, though, with another field goal, two late turnovers, a turnover on downs and Allen's second score in the waning minutes. UW running back Chez Mellusi left the game with 6:37 remaining due to a leg injury.
Wisconsin enjoys a bye week next week before returning home to celebrate Homecoming on Saturday, Oct. 7 against Rutgers. Kickoff time is still to be announced at either 11 a.m. or 2:30/3:00 p.m. CT at Camp Randall Stadium. Television broadcast information will also be announced soon.
