WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Indiana State is 0-14 all-time against the Big Ten. The Sycamores nonetheless have Purdue's undivided attention heading into its home opener Saturday.
Two years ago, Purdue struggled to hold on for a 20-14 victory against Indiana State in West Lafayette. These Sycamores are ranked 21st in the FCS coaches' poll and piled up 11 tackles for loss, including three sacks, in a 52-17 season-opening victory against Butler.
Purdue coach Darrell Hazell, whose team has lost seven in a row after the 41-31 setback last week at Marshall, is concerned about Indiana State's aggressive defense.
