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 Nike Air Max Tavas Nz .

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The student section sang Happy Birthday to Brad Kaaya before the game, and there were a slew of text messages awaiting the Miami quarterback afterward.All that was nice, but all he really wanted was what was on the scoreboard.Kaaya threw for four touchdowns on the day he turned 21, Miami scored a school-record 42 points in the third quarter and the Mark Richt era began with an easy 70-3 win over Florida A&M on Saturday night.This is the only birthday present I wanted today, honestly, Kaaya said. All the other things are cool and stuff, but this is what the day was about.The Hurricanes (1-0) had three backs -- Joe Yearby, Mark Walton and Gus Edwards -- all top 100 yards, the first time a Miami trio has done that since 1987. Yearby ran for two scores, Walton and Edwards each ran for one, and seven other Hurricanes reached the end zone.Miami scored touchdowns on 10 of its first 12 possessions.We were just ready, said Miami receiver Braxton Berrios, who returned a punt for a touchdown.Kaayas four TD throws tied a career-best. He completed 12 of 18 passes for 135 yards.Kenneth Coleman completed nine of 16 passes for 135 yards for the Rattlers (0-1), who lost to Miami for the 10th consecutive time.We didnt come to play, Coleman said. Weve got work to do.Miami outgained FAMU 373-22 on the ground, and 523-197 in total yards.We had a chance for the first time in 2016 to see our kids compete in game conditions, which is a good thing, Rattlers coach Alex Wood said.It was Richts first game leading the Hurricanes. His team took a 28-3 lead into halftime, then scored touchdowns on all six of its opportunities in the third -- with Edwards going 74 yards for a score as the quarter expired.Ill just say this: I really, really like it here, said Richt, a 1982 Miami grad. I like these players. I like this university. I like the vibe of the city.dddddddddddd Im very thankful to be here.THE TAKEAWAYFlorida A&M: The Rattlers got plenty of players involved both rushing and receiving, played two quarterbacks and put together a pair of relatively solid drives in the second quarter. In short, plenty of players got experience.Miami: The Hurricanes flirted with matching the school-record for points (77 against Savannah State in 2013) and sold more than 60,000 tickets. And the starting linebacker trio of Zach McCloud, Shaq Quarterman and Michael Pinckney -- all true freshmen -- got their college careers off to a flying start. It was a great experience, Quarterman said. The last trio of Miami backs to top 100 yards in the same game was Leonard Conley, Melvin Bratton and Warren Williams against Cincinnati on Oct. 24, 1987.POLL IMPLICATIONSMiamis drought may be over.The Hurricanes last appeared in the AP Top 25 on Nov. 10, 2013 -- 39 polls ago. Since then, 61 different programs have been ranked. If Miami appears in the poll that will be released Tuesday, itll be the first time the Hurricanes were ranked so early in a season since 2010.Thatd be awesome, Kaaya said. But at the same time, we cant just sit on that. ... In the grand scheme of things, we have lot bigger fish to fry.UP NEXTFlorida A&M: At Coastal Carolina, Sept. 10. Coastal Carolina beat FAMU 48-3 in 2014. For whatever this is worth, itll be the second straight week the Rattlers visit a school that made the 2016 College World Series -- the Chanticleers won the title.Miami: Host Florida Atlantic, Sept. 10. The Hurricanes are 2-0 all-time against the Owls, though were tested in the first half of last seasons meeting at FAU. Miami has rushed for 6.5 yards per carry in the two games. ' ' '
