Is this game the best chance for Purdue to grab a win before the end of the season? I think we can officially rule out a bowl game (though we’ll talk about it if Purdue somehow wins the next two), but getting one more victory would be a positive sign going into a very important offseason with a new coach. Earning said win will require a complete game as opposed to the half games we have played the last two weeks.
There is definitely a chance there with the Gophers. Minnesota is 6-2, but they have struggled against bad teams in Oregon State and Rutgers.
