Coach Brohm’s Boilermakers are one win away from bowl eligibility. They’ve already knocked off one top-5 team on the road and now get a chance to knock off the undefeated Michigan St. Spartans at home.
For the Spartans, it will be a big road game following an even bigger rivalry win against in-state rival Michigan. The Spartans are in control of their destiny in the Big Ten and in the natural title picture. They have a chance for both without losing a game to this point in the season.
Fall is starting to hit in Big Ten territory, but the weather looks to be picturesque and very football appropriate.
