Wisconsin promising game-by-game approach Submitted: 10/08/2012
MADISON - Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema (BEE'-leh-mah) is downplaying the significance of Saturday's game at Purdue.

The Badgers and Boilermakers are both in the Big Ten Leaders Division and have a chance to make the title game in Indianapolis. Bielema says his team is trying to focus on one game at a time, not worry about division races.

The Badgers (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) are seeking their first road victory of the season, while the Boilermakers (3-2, 0-1) look for their first league win.
