While I’m sure everyone is still riding high off last week, it is time to turn the page to this Saturday and a classic trap game for the Michigan State Spartans against the Purdue Boilermakers. This is a matchup that always seems to be a tougher battle than the records show, even when MSU was at its peak under Mark Dantonio. This Purdue squad is no pushover, so let’s get into the details.
School: Purdue University
Nickname: Boilermakers
Conference: Big Ten (West Division)
Location: West Lafayette, Indiana
Head Coach: Jeff Brohm (fifth season, 24-28)
Record: 5-3 (3-2 in Big Ten)
Mascot: Purdue Pete
All-Time Series: Michigan State leads 36-28-3 (MSU has won eight in a row)
The two schools have not met since 2018, and have not played each other in West Lafayette since 2014.
