Three matchups to watch: Northwestern vs. Purdue

Who would have thought that Northwestern playing Purdue on November 14 could eventually decide the winner of the Big Ten West? Probably no one. This weekend’s game alone is a matchup to watch. Jeff Brohm’s talented receiving corps will meet a confident Wildcat secondary, Purdue’s run defense may bend (and break?) and as usual, it could come down to special teams.

There’s a reason Fitz called David Bell the best wideout in college football. The true sophomore carried Purdue’s air attack through its first two games with four total touchdowns and 243 yards.
