for the second straight week Purdue will kick off in the 3:30 ET timeslot for TV purposes. Of course, it helps that both games are away from Ross-Ade Stadium and at venues that feature permanent lights. It was announced today that next week’s game at Illinois will kick off at 3:30pm ET and will be televised on Big Ten Network.
The Big Ten has announced that the Oct. 8 game at Illinois will kick at 3:30 p.m. ET and shown on BTN. #BoilerUp #FocusFightFinish

The streak of 3:30pm games will end on October 15, as the Homecoming game against Iowa has long been announced as a noon kickoff.
