Purdue at Minnesota: Preview

It has been quite a while since Purdue has been in this position. Once again, the Boilers are a double-digit favorite on the road just like they were at Illinois. We’re a win away for bowl eligibility. The last three times we played in the postseason it wasn’t clinched until a Bucket game victory over Indiana. You have to go back to 2007 for the last time we had it locked up this early. Another victory would also give us a winning record in Big Ten play for the first time since 2006 when we were 8-6 overall, but 5-3 in league play (5-4 if you count the bowl loss to Maryland as a Big Ten game).
