MADISON -- After Wisconsin struggled to limit Purdue's aerial attack early Saturday afternoon, the Badgers pulled away for a 45-24 win on Senior Day at Camp Randall Stadium. In possibly his last game at home, Jonathan Taylor eclipsed 200 yards for the third straight game and for the third consecutive time against Purdue.

After allowing 17 first-half points, the Wisconsin defense allowed only seven throughout the second frame.

Let's get to our weekly grades, position-by-position.

Jack Coan played consistent, mistake-free football for much of the afternoon, but he has to take care of the football for four quarters. The junior completed 15 of his 19 passes for two touchdowns and an interception.

Starting with the negative, the lone interception came when Coan threw a deep ball about five yards short of redshirt junior Quintez Cephus.

Earlier in the game, Coan made a solid throw to an open Jack Dunn at the back of the end zone for his first touchdown toss. The credit for the second touchdown grab should largely go to Cephus, but the signal caller gave his most skilled receiver a chance to make a play.

It certainly felt like it was the home finale for Taylor. And if it was his final act, the junior went out with a bang. For the third straight week, he eclipsed 200 yards on the ground and finished with 28 carries for 222 yards and a touchdown.

The New Jersey native continued his dominance against Purdue with a 51-yard touchdown burst near the end of the first quarter. Credit the Wisconsin offensive line for again giving the star back room to work. All it took was a lightning quick cut to the right for Taylor to explode into the secondary and take it to the house. He finished with a victory quarter-lap around Camp Randall in what felt like a farewell.

Garrett Groshek finished with nine carries for 55 yards and a touchdown. Out of the Wildcat formation, the junior took it six yards to the crib to put Wisconsin up 31-17 in the middle of the third quarter. The redshirt junior and sophomore wide receiver Aron Cruickshank were both featured in that type of offensive wrinkle and each had a touchdown run out of the unconventional look.

Redshirt senior Bradrick Shaw made the most of his final few home reps, accumulating 16 yards on three carries. He gained seven yards on the final true play of the game before the Badgers went into victory formation.
