As we all know by now, Purdue will be playing Auburn in the Music City Bowl. It’ll be a fun, but otherwise meaningless game. A win in the Music City Bowl won’t make the program and a loss won’t break the program. Obviously, winning is preferable to losing, but in the long run, when a 6 win team plays a 7 win team, it isn’t consequential.
What is consequential about playing in the Music City Bowl is the extra 15 practices the coaching staff now have at their disposal (even though Brohm says he’s not going to use them all).
