passing game. QB Kyle Orton completed his first 15 passes to masterfully engineer touchdown drives on Purdue's first 2 possessions for a 14–0 lead. But Wisconsin rallied with an Anthony Davis touchdown run and LB Jeff Mack's fumble return for touchdown to close the margin to 14–13 early in the second quarter (the Badgers missed an extra point). The Badgers kept Purdue out of the end zone the rest of the game, but Purdue did add 3 field goals to produce a 23–16 lead. With less than 3 minutes left, Wisconsin safety Jim Leonhard made a spectacular punt return touchdown to tie the game. But that's when Orton guided the Purdue offense on a winning drive, setting up a Ben Jones FG with 3 seconds left. Orton converted 2 3rd down and long passes on the drive, and then completed a deep pass to WR Ray Williams to set up the winning kick. In defeat, Wisconsin LB Alex Lewis recorded an amazing 5 sacks and forced the fumble that Mack returned for a touchdown. In victory, the Purdue defense continued its terrific 2003 season by sacking Badger QBs 9 times (Shaun Phillips had 4.5), yielding only 12 first downs and less than 300 yards of offense, and forcing 2 turnovers (including an interception by senior CB Jacques Reeves on Wisconsin's first play). Kyle Orton completed his first 15 passes on the way to a 38–55; 411 yard performance. Senior WR John Standeford and junior WR Taylor Stubblefield combined to catch 30 passes for 314 yards. It was Stubblefield's second 16-catch performance of the season. Michigan Purdue's 6 game winning streak came to a decisive end in Ann Arbor, dropping to 6–2 against the supremely talented and eventual Big Ten champion #13 Michigan Wolverines. From start to finish, the Purdue offense was bullied, harassed and roughed-up by an ultra-aggressive Michigan defense that employed numerous blitzing schemes (7 sacks) and press "bump and run" coverage to limit the Boilermakers to only 242 yards of offense. Despite being dominated, Purdue had a chance to seize momentum late in the first half when the Boilers recovered a fumble from a Shaun Phillips sack of Michigan QB John Navarre. QB Kyle Orton quickly moved the Purdue offense to a first and goal, but then threw an end zone interception to CB Leon Hall, the first of 2 picks for the freshman playing for an injured
