Purdue is a perennial Big Ten cellar-dweller that might be a mid-tier team this year. The Boilermakers are not likely to make any serious waves nationally but still should challenge UConn when they travel to Rentschler Field on Saturday, September 11 at 3 p.m. for the Huskies’ third game of the season. It will be the first-ever meeting between these two programs.
Purdue’s over/under for wins this year, depending on your source, is around five. I’d imagine the oddsmakers will have them heavily favored against UConn, even on the road.
We hope you’re enjoying our football season preview series, which just kicked off position previews with the quarterbacks.
