Does Purdue have a defensive line? Like literally, at all? Because any opponent that has one is gonna be a really hard game for us.

Granted Minny didn’t have their RB1, but Purdue held the Gophs to <50 yards rushing.

Honestly I don’t see us winning back to back to back BiG games. We haven’t done it since 2016. And we haven’t won back to back road games since….2006?! I dunno I’d like to say we are due but we haven’t had Purdues number for the last 100 years like we have had Rutgers. That and they are better at almost every stat that matters, we may get blown out if the Oline doesn’t magically learn how to pass pro by next week. Although the spread has gone from 13.5 to 12 so there’s that..
