Purdue drew a very rough Homecoming opponent this year. The Michigan Wolverines are probably going to be the best team to visit Ross-Ade Stadium this fall. They are certainly better than Illinois, Minnesota, and Indiana. Only Nebraska might be on par with them. As always, this game is another another opportunity. It is a late afternoon kickoff at home against a marquee opponent. The best case scenario is probably the general public flipping channels only to see, “Wait a minute, Purdue is doing WHAT now?”
It has also been a long time since Purdue won its homecoming game.
