Luke Fickell on Badgers going for 2: “Never felt like we were in good shape”

The Wisconsin Badgers comfortably won 38-17 over the Purdue Boilermakers in their first Big Ten matchup of the season, improving to 3-1 on the year.

While Wisconsin held a two-score lead for the majority of the game, the true game-sealer was a late touchdown from running back Braelon Allen to place the Badgers up by three scores.

However, what happened after prompted some questions from fans: the decision to go for two points to make it a 38-17 game with just over three minutes left.

Why did head coach Luke Fickell look to go for two?
