Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Purdue - Opponent Preview

The Minnesota Golden Gophers (5-4) hit the road in an attempt to salvage their season against the Purdue Boilermakers (2-7) at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday in West Lafayette.

Can Purdue score on offense?

The Boilermakers have been held to 17 or fewer points in five of their six Big Ten games this season. The lone exception was a 44-point outlier against the Illinois Fighting Illini.

Turnovers and execution have been issues for this offense all season long. Quarterback Hudson Card has thrown eight interceptions and the team has lost a combined six fumbles. Even when they have managed to hold on to the football, the red zone has not been kind to them.
