With a surprise victory over Illinois last week Purdue remains in the thick of the Big Ten West race. To stay in a good position to head to Indy Purdue needs two wins in two weeks. That all starts today when the Wildcats of Northwestern come to Ross-Ade Stadium for a noon kickoff. Northwestern of course has little to play for except for fighting to not have a 10 loss season. Oh yeah, I’m sure they would also like to win a game on North American soil this season too.
This game also should resonate with the senior class as it will be their senior day and their last ever game in Ross-Ade Stadium.
