Welcome to the biggest home game in more than a decade for Purdue. The Boilers are an expected underdog, but facing a top 10 team at home with a legitimate chance to actually win is huge. Today is an opportunity to take a major step forward for the entire program. A win skyrockets expectations and might even have some larger Big Ten implications. A loss, at least as it is competitive, would be a sign that Purdue is prepared to scare the bejesus out of the best teams in the Big Ten.
I don’t want to scare a team though.
