Football: Wisconsin earns first conference win of season, lose Mellusi

The University of Wisconsin football team dazzled in their conference debut Friday, defeating the Purdue University Boilermakers 38-17, thanks to yet another impressive performance in the ground game.

The Badgers appear to have quelled the offensive woes that plagued them through their first two games of the year — putting up over 200 yards on the ground for the second straight week.

Unfortunately for UW, the blowout win was not without strife, as Chez Mellusi was carted off the field after going down with a gruesome leg injury in the fourth quarter.
