Glad to be on board with you. How's the weather looking?

That's where I was headed next, actually. It is a beautiful fall day and a great day for football. It's sunny and 56 degrees but a little breezy. The wind is 17mph from the SSE with gusts to 25

Great fall day in Madison as the Wisconsin #Badgers (6-2, 2-2 B1G) prepare to face the Purdue #Boilermakers (4-4, 2-2). Kickoff: 2:30pm CT. [via Twitter]

Brian Mason:

Of course the overarching storyline today is the impact this game has on the Badgers' hopes of defending their Big Ten title.

Saturday November 5, 2011 1:53 Brian Mason

1:53

Brian Mason:

Few would have predicted this game to have the consequences it does, but with back-to-back losses for the Badgers, it is a critical one.

Saturday November 5, 2011 1:53 Brian Mason

1:54

Brian Mason:

Both teams are 2-2 in the Leaders Division, and the Badgers must win out in order to reach the inaugural Big Ten title game. Plus, they'll need some help along the way.

Specifically, UW needs Ohio State to drop a game and for Penn State to lose at least once before the teams meet on the final weekend of the regular season.

So, the Badgers haven't been knocked off the road to Indianapolis, but they are certainly forced to take the scenic route now.

Saturday November 5, 2011 1:56 Brian Mason

1:56

Brian Mason:

Beyond the impact on the Big Ten standings, bouncing back today would be good psychologically for the Badgers. They've suffered back-to-back losses in gut-wrenching fashion and want to get back on track here at home.

Saturday November 5, 2011 1:56 Brian Mason

1:58

Brian Mason:

The Boilers are in the bottom half of the Big Ten in both passing and rushing, but they've had more struggles through the air, ranking 89th nationally in passing offense.

[Comment From bapabearbapabear: ]

What's the biggest defensive focus for Bucky today?

Saturday November 5, 2011 1:58 bapabear

1:59

Brian Mason:

The easy answer is watching out for the big play, which has come up to bite the Badgers in their consecutive losses.

Saturday November 5, 2011 1:59 Brian Mason

2:00

Brian Mason:

However, I think keeping Purdue's rushing attack in check will be the most important thing today. The Boilers have a rushing threat in Ralph Bolden at tailback and will try some different sets out of the backfield that will keep UW on its toes

[Comment From sfbaymarthasfbaymartha: ]

I say "Go 1-0 against Purdue!"

Saturday November 5, 2011 2:00 sfbaymartha

2:01

Brian Mason:

Coach Bielema's "1-0" mentality really comes into play over the last four weeks of the season now. All four games are equally important, so overlooking anyone won't serve the Badgers well.

Brian Mason:

I like the outlook. I do feel very good about this team, despite what has happened the last two weeks.

Saturday November 5, 2011 2:02 Brian Mason

2:03

Brian Mason:

Slower than usual starts on offense and a few big breakdowns on defense have been the culprit in those losses. I foresee UW getting off to a fast start today, and I think the defense will be solid.

Everybody loves to come back home, and I think that's especially true of the Badgers today. UW is 48-4 at Camp Randall since the start of the 2004 season and has won 14 straight home games

What do you think, do you think the Badger's have what it takes to beat the Boilermakers?

Saturday November 5, 2011 2:12 Guest

Brian Mason:

On paper, UW is the superior team without question. Of course, we've seen what that means the last two weeks. That being said, I have plenty of confidence in the home team today.

Brian Mason:

James has kind of taken a back seat to Montee this season after the two were very balanced last year. This could be a big day for him if the Badgers can get up early and spend the later parts of the game running.

[Comment From John in DSMJohn in DSM: ]

I'm looking for Wilson to keep his head about him.

Saturday November 5, 2011 2:19 John in DSM

2:20

Brian Mason:

That certainly won't be an issue, John. If there is one thing I'm not worried about, it's the quarterback. He will be composed and as confident as we've seen him be all season.

Saturday November 5, 2011 2:20 Brian Mason

[Comment From NE BadgerNE Badger: ]

The offensive line to let the QB do his job.

Saturday November 5, 2011 2:20 NE Badger

2:22

Brian Mason:

I think the guys on the line would be the first to tell you that their performance against Ohio State was below their expectations and standards. It was strange to see the line "struggle" by their standards, but they will adjust well today.

[Comment From SaraSara: ]

I feel that Russell Wilson has to get more than one pass receiver involved in the passing game. I think they were talking about that last week on the radio. Right now, he only has two main guys who he feels confident to throw to and that needs to open up more. What's your opinion on that, Brian?!

Saturday November 5, 2011 2:23 Sara

2:24

Brian Mason:

I think that's a valid opinion, Sara. Early on this season we saw the ball get spread around a lot between a number of different receivers. Over the past two weeks, it's been all Toon and Abbrerderis.

Saturday November 5, 2011 2:24 Brian Mason

2:25

Brian Mason:

The tight end has always been an integral part of UW's offense, so I would be shocked if we didn't see Jacob Pedersen more involved today.

Saturday November 5, 2011 2:25 Brian Mason

2:26

Brian Mason:

The tailbacks were also heavily involved in the passing game earlier this season, but that's faded a bit lately. Bradie Ewing was a target for Wilson last week against Ohio State, but I wouldn't mind seeing Ball and White more involved today.

Do they tend to run different plays depending whether White or Boll is in the game? If so, not so much a comparison of backs as a comparison of how good blocking schemes, etc., are working.

Thoughts on the 1st half: 1.Montee is amazing. 2.Russell still looks great. 3. I never thought I'd see a game where the other offensive coordinator was more innovative than Chryst. 4. Something major has to be done about kick returns. Tackling looked weak. Back to TV. I miss you guys!

so how about those Gophers ? are they improved or did Sparty take them lightly today ?

Saturday November 5, 2011 5:40 Guest

Brian Mason:

They also knocked off Iowa (which came back to beat Michigan today), so I think it's safe to say they're improved. Always interesting when you're playing for the Axe
