Purdue is 2-2. It easily could be 1-3. It easily could be 4-0 and in the top 20. Are we a good team? Are Penn State and Syracuse ranked because they pulled out narrow victories over us? A third of the way through the season we’re at least on pace to make a bowl game, but we’re behind the expectation we had when the year started. The question of Aidan O’Connell’s health is also a significant factor.
We are a team that can win any of the remaining games on the schedule if AOC is ready to go.
