WATCH: Wisconsin Football Quarterback Braedyn Locke Addresses Media Before Traveling to Rutgers

Wisconsin football finally had what could be its breakout game of the Luke Fickell era. Thanks largely to quarterback Braedyn Locke, the Badgers (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) defeated the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday 52-6.

In UW's 18th-consecutive win over Purdue, Locke orchestrated the first 300+ yard passing performance by a Wisconsin quarterback since 2015. Thanks to a few explosive plays by wide receivers Vinny Anthony and Trech Kekahuna, the Badgers scored touchdowns on five consecutive drives across the first and second halves for a complete rout of the Boilermakers.

"Not to say we didn't make mistakes," the Rockwall, Texas native acknowledged Tuesday when detailing his team's improved performance. His focus is now on consistency; it's about continuing to grow. It's about getting a week better each and every week."

This week, the Wisconsin football team travels to Piscataway, New Jersey, for a Saturday matchup with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten). Kickoff is set for 11:00 AM central. You can watch the game on the Big Ten Network.
