The Purdue Boilermakers will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers in hopes of ending the current four game losing streak that has seen Purdue outscored 133 to 48. An offense that looked promising to start the season has been grounded to a halt with injuries to the offensive line, poor quarterback play, and receivers who don’t have reliable enough hands to catch the ball consistently. The biggest issue is that the big plays Purdue needs to be successful just aren’t there.
The Golden Gophers have had an uneven season with a record of 5-4 coming off a 27-26 loss to the Illinois Fighting Illini.
