Halfway Home: What is Purdue Football Doing Well?

Yes, this is going to be a post grasping for some rare good news when it comes to Purdue football. The season is halfway in the books and even though Darrell Hazell has been fired, Purdue is still 3-3 and, mathematically, cannot be eliminated from a bowl game until November 12^th against Northwestern at worst. Will Purdue win the three games necessary to be playing in December? It seems unlikely, given that the easy part of the schedule is over, but getting at least 1-2 wins against the likes of Minnesota, Northwestern, and Indiana seems at least possible.
