WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- With its losing skid at five and any hope for a bowl game eliminated, Purdue is seeking motivation with No. 6 Wisconsin coming to visit on Saturday and then a season-ending Nov. 26 date at rival Indiana.Interim head coach Gerad Parker has seen his team (3-7, 1-6 Big Ten) play well during the first half against Nebraska, Penn State, Minnesota and Northwestern, only to be outscored 114-17 the rest of the way against those teams.With lots of uncertainty about the programs future, primarily who will be coaching Purdue in 2017, it would be easy for some players and coaches to go through the motions these final two weeks.Parker believes theres plenty of reason to be motivated, starting with the Badgers (8-2, 5-2).This week is fully and completely about our seniors, Parker said Tuesday. The staff has continued to work our tails off. The players have as well, and this week is about our seniors playing their last game in Ross-Ade Stadium. Its a chance for those seniors to play an unbelievable football team in Wisconsin. Those guys want to go out the right way.Purdue has won only one Big Ten home game -- Nebraska in 2015 -- during the seniors careers and is 3-28 overall in conference play since 2013.Its been hard, Parker said, Sadly, the reason we are in this position is because of our past. Everything is contagious. Winning is contagious and losing is contagious. Ive wanted to approach this week by week.Senior wide receiver Bilal Marshall said the opportunity to stun a top 10 team in his final home game would wipe away some of the frustrations of a four-year career in which Purdue has gone 9-37.We have to stick together and not be selfish, Marshall said. For us seniors, its our last two weeks, and our last week in Ross-Ade against a big opponent and obviously, we havent seen the Old Oaken Bucket in forever. For our younger guys, we want to finish strong because no one knows whats going to happen after these last two weeks.Sophomore quarterback David Blough leads the Big Ten in passing yards per game at 292.1, but he has been intercepted 16 times, one of the reasons the Boilermakers are tied for 126th among the 128 FBS programs in turnover margin at minus-16. Bloughs three interceptions against Northwestern this past Saturday set up 17 Wildcats points in their 45-17 victory.We have been in position to succeed and have been coached well, but we havent executed, especially on my behalf, Blough said.Game notes Purdue ranks last in Big Ten scoring defense (38.4), last in total defense (466.9 yards), 13th in rushing defense (248.8 yards) and 11th in pass defense (218.1 yards) ... Parker indicated Tuesday that DT Lorenzo Neal, OT Mike Mendez and RB Richie Worship likely will miss the Wisconsin game because of injuries ... Purdue has not beaten Wisconsin in Ross-Ade Stadium since 1997 ... Purdue has not won a game in November since beating Indiana in 2012.---For more AP college football coverage: http://collegefootball.ap.org Custom Raptors Jerseys . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era.

Tonight, Maryland punched us in the mouth a little bit, but I was really proud of how we responded, particularly in the second half.dddddddddddd Thats going to help us during the season. Theyre really good. Theyre a top five team in the country and we hung with them the best we could in the second half.That was as close as Loyola got. A 3-pointer by Destiny Slocum provided Maryland a 70-51 lead with just over five minutes left in the game.Give credit to Loyola, they came out great in the second half, Walker-Kimbrough said. But I know (Jones) and I have to take a step back and look because its on us to make sure we lead those young guys in the second half. I thought we did a good job in the first half.SLUGGISH PLAYMaryland shot 78.6 percent from the field in the first quarter, but was then out of sync for much of the remaining game. The Terrapins made just 5 of 15 shots (33.3 percent) in the final quarter.RACKING UP THE POINTSBetz-White, a preseason All-Patriot League honoree, has scored in double figures in nine of 10 games this year.BIG PICTURELoyola: The Greyhounds outscored Maryland 24-18 in the third quarter and played fearlessly against a nationally ranked opponent. Despite the score, the game provided Loyola with a boost of confidence.Maryland: The Terrapins entered leading the country in scoring (93.8) and field goal percentage (51.9). Maryland, however, struggled in spurts on the road against the Greyhounds and committed 19 turnovers. Coach Brenda Frese will likely address those issues over the next week.UP NEXTLoyola: The Greyhounds break for exams before travelling to George Washington on Dec. 23.Maryland: The Terrapins play at Duquesne on Dec. 21 before a showdown with No. 1 Connecticut eight days later.
