The Badgers, who have not lost to Purdue since 2003, were dominant in their victory. Chenal has been like a man on a mission of late.
Last Week in the Badgers victory over Army, he had 17 tackles and had the game-winning strip at the end of the game to save the victory for the Badgers.
Chenal is well on his way to making the first-team Big Ten team and possibility Defensive Player of the Year for the conference.
His play of late has led the Badgers to back-to-back victories and maybe has put them back on the road to getting to a bowl game this year.
