How to Watch Purdue vs. Northwestern

Read More on Sports

The Boilermakers are coming off a tough loss on the road to Minnesota, 27-20, in which they outgained the Golden Gophers 456-262 throughout the contest. That’s quite a hefty number, in which you still lose. With 453 yards against No. 22 Illinois, the Boilermaker offense has eclipsed 450 yards in back-to-back Big Ten games for the first time since Nov. 2021.

That’s something that Northwestern will have to keep an eye on as it comes home after an impressive and surprising 22-21 win over Penn State at Beaver Stadium. The Wildcats spoiled the Nittany Lions' homecoming game, outscoring them 9-7 in the fourth quarter to just squeak out the win. While Penn State may have been reeling because of its two previous losses, Northwestern had no problem taking advantage.

The Boilermakers have beaten the Wildcats 53 times throughout history, their second-most over a Big Ten opponent (77 wins over Indiana).

This is a great college football matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
