There are lots of questions coming into this game for both sides. Northwestern needs just one more victory on the season to reach bowl eligibility, will they get it against Purdue or go into the final week of the season in a must win situation? Plus, how will they respond now that their interim head coach (insert interim head coach’s name here) is no longer an interim but is instead the head guy for real? On the Purdue side of the ball, does the offense continue to have new life? Does the defense continue to make important plays at important moments and do guys like Jenkins and Scourton continue to be the top sack getters in the Big Ten conference?
