WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- No. 6 Wisconsin did everything it could to get back in the College Football Playoff chase Saturday.Its probably going to take more than a blowout at Purdue.T.J. Watt returned an interception 17 yards for a touchdown, and the Badgers scored 35 points in the final 8 1/2 minutes of the first half of a 49-20 victory against the lowly Boilermakers.Now comes the hard part: Figuring out if Wisconsin belongs in college footballs Final Four.When we looked at our schedule, we thought that there wasnt one that we couldnt win, quarterback Alex Hornibrook said. We thought we would win every one of them. We did a good job focusing from week to week.To have any chance, the Badgers must keep winning. Wisconsin (9-2, 6-2, No. 7 CFP) has won five straight and can clinch the Big Tens West Division title with a win next weekend.Two more victories, and the Badgers would be right in the mix. But to pull that off, they are going to need a better start than they had against Purdue, when they were hampered by a stagnant ground game, ineffective passing attack and struggling defense.Then coach Paul Chryst inserted fifth-year senior Bart Houston at QB, and everything changed. The opening-day starter immediately led Wisconsin on an 87-yard drive that ended with Alec Ingolds 1-yard plunge for a 7-3 lead. Watt picked off David Blough on the next offensive play.Bradrick Shaw scored on a 7-yard run with 3:03 left in the half. After another Blough interception, Houston hooked up with a wide-open Ingold on a 19-yard TD pass and Shaw added a 33-yard TD run in the last minute of the half.All the Boilermakers (3-8, 1-7) mustered during the stretch was a 75-yard TD pass from Blough to DeAngelo Yancey.I have to do my job, Blough said. I cant do my job just half the time. The turnovers hurt. We cant turn it over and expect to be in the game against one of the top teams in the country. With those two interceptions, it was one big joke with one batted ball and then another batted ball.Corey Clement rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown for Wisconsin.THE TAKEAWAYWisconsin: The Badgers didnt get the help they needed to wrap up the West, but the win certainly keeps their playoff hopes alive.Purdue: Theres one week to go in the Boilermakers dismal season. But 18 players and probably most, if not all, of the coaching staff said goodbye to Ross-Ade Stadium in front of a scant crowd.T.J.S SWATSWisconsin linebackers Watt and T.J. Edwards took turns celebrating. In the first half, both deflected Blough passes, came down with the ball and each turnover led to a touchdown. On Purdues opening possession of the second half, Edwards and Watt also came up with sacks of Blough.What a play by T.J. (Watt), Badgers coach Paul Chryst said. To knock it down is a really good play. To get a pick is a really good play. To do both that changed (the game).KEY NUMBERSWisconsin: The Badgers entered with 14 interceptions and padded that total with three more in the first half, giving them seven in the past two weeks. ... Wisconsin has produced a 100-yard rusher in six straight games. ... The defense has allowed only five touchdowns in five road games this season. ... Clement became the 17th rusher in school history to top the 1,000-yard mark. ... Houston was 5 of 6 for 102 yards with one TD, and Hornibrook was 7 of 9 for 89 yards with one TD pass.Purdue: Blough was 14 of 30 for 206 yards with two TDs. Yancey caught six passes for 155 yards and two scores. ... After being outscored 114-17 in the second halves of the past four games, the Boilermakers had only a 14-10 deficit in the final 30 minutes Saturday. ... Defensive lineman Jake Replogle returned from a concussion to play in his home finale.UP NEXTWisconsin: Will try to keep the Paul Bunyan Axe for a 13th consecutive year when it hosts Minnesota.Purdue: Hopes to snap a three-game losing streak against rival Indiana. The Boilermakers havent lost the Old Oaken Bucket in four straight years since the 1940s.---For more college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Pascal Siakam Jersey .

Tracy Mcgrady Jersey .com) - The red-hot Los Angeles Kings will try to extend their winning streak to a season-high seven games when they visit the Edmonton Oilers for Sundays clash at Rexall Place. Serge Ibaka Jersey . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. Jay Ajayi began the season as an afterthought and was a healthy inactive for the Miami Dolphins opening game.He is now attempting to become the first NFL running back to rush for 200 yards in three consecutive games.Ajayis stunning emergence is energizing the Dolphins (3-4) as they come off a bye and attempt to record their third consecutive victory when they host the New York Jets on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, CBS).The second-year player from Boise State rushed for 204 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Oct. 16 and followed up with a 214-yard effort against the Buffalo Bills seven days later. That made Ajayi just the fourth player to rush for 200 or more yards in back-to-back games, joining O.J. Simpson (1973 and 1976), Earl Campbell (1980) and former Miami star Ricky Williams (2002).A third straight 200-yard outing would be quite the feat -- considering the Jets (3-5) lead the NFL in rushing defense at 74.0 yards per game.I know in the NFL its hard to get 100 yards, Ajayi said. So for us to have done back-to-back 200-yard games is a credit to the hard work we have put in, the O-line, receivers, everyone including myself.And so if it does happen again, thats going to be an amazing thing, an incredible thing, and well just see what happens.Something surely has to give on Sunday. Ajayi sports a spectacular 6.4-yard average per carry heading into a game against a unit allowing just a 3.3 yard average.Were playing a good team, Ajayi said. The Jets got a really good front up there, the defensive line and their linebackers. We know were going to have a really good challenge in front of us, but at the same time, were not worried about anybody else. Were worried about ourselves.The Jets are certainly only worried about themselves too heading into the contest against their AFC East rivals. New York is seeking its third straight victory as it tries to dig out of a 1-5 start.The squad had higher aspirations, and being two games below .500 at the midway point of the season is thoroughly disappointing to veteran linebacker David Harris.Obviously nobody thought wed be at this 3-5 mark, Harris said. But guys keep fighting, were still playing hard, and were still going to grind this thing out to the end.ddddddddddddTurnovers plagued the Jets during their first six games, and they still rank last in turnover margin at minus-9.Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been intercepted 11 times but avoided the key miscue last Sunday in a 31-28 win over the Cleveland Browns.Veteran running back Matt Forte helped fuel the victory by rushing for 82 yards and two scores. Forte has 542 yards and six touchdowns in his first season with the Jets after leaving the Chicago Bears as a free agent.His offensive coordinator with the Bears last season was Adam Gase, the first-year head coach of the Dolphins.I dont even know if elite pro is the right word, Gase said of Forte. Its something that Ive very rarely experienced with a player. Just watching what he did from the first time I was around him to the last day I was with him, that guy is a stud, man. I cant express how much I appreciated the way that that guy prepared, the way he practiced.We tried to hold him back, and he didnt care what we thought. He was like, Im getting my reps. You can yell at me all you want for being in there. He didnt care. I mean, that guy, he was a workhorse. Hes a guy that if youre around him just one year, you benefited from it.While the Jets have excelled at stuffing ball carriers, they arent so proficient against the pass. Cornerback Darrelle Revis, 31, is slipping and was beaten repeatedly by Cleveland receivers last Sunday.Jets coach Todd Bowles insisted Revis is healthy when pressed regarding the veterans drop-off in play.Other than maintenance, I dont think (he is hurt) any more than anybody else, Bowles said. We dont play injured players, and we dont encourage them to play. We try not to. All we can go by is how they tell us they feel, and Revis has been fine for the most part. He had a sore ankle here and there, but I think hes been OK.New York is last in the NFL in pass defense, allowing 289 yards per game, and that could present opportunities for Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who has thrown for 1,728 yards and seven touchdowns against seven interceptions.
