Bowl hopes are on the line even as most of the nation watched Notre Dame at Miami. Shoot, even that will likely be on my main TV as I try to achieve marital bliss, but rest assured, Purdue-Northwestern will still be up on my laptop.
And it is a big game for Purdue. With northwestern being ranked in the top 25 of the playoff rankings it gives us a good chance at our first victory over a ranked team in six years. The Wildcats, of course, are on an incredible hot streak of three straight overtime wins, so it won’t be easy.
