In September of 2022, a group of Boilermakers rode into Syracuse, New York to visit one of the weirdest venues in all of college football and rode out having suffered a three-point loss in a nail-biter of a football game.
Under a new conductor in Ryan Walters, Purdue will host Syracuse on Saturday, September 16 as each team’s first conference game of the year. With revenge on their minds, the Boilers still sit as 2.5 point underdogs as per DraftKings.
Syracuse’s offense has been firing on all cylinders in their first two games of the season, hanging 65 points on Colgate (which Drew and I watched on replay for research reasons and not because we were bored at the end of a long week for each of us) and a much more unexpected 48 points on Western Michigan in week two.
