It is the bye week for Purdue, and it could not come any sooner. The offense is stuck in neutral, we have injuries, and there is a very tough stretch ahead. Indiana and Northwestern at the end of the schedule as the best chances at wins No. 4 and 5 are far away, but Purdue has to find No. 4 before it gets to those two games. This week is critical in doing so. Otherwise we will enter the Northwestern game on a 6 game losing streak and that would suck. At least coach Brohm has yet to lose six straight at Purdue.
