Last game: 20-10 win @ #21 Minnesota
Next game: Oct. 8 @ Maryland
Quite the impressive win for the Boilermakers a week after barely skating by Florida Atlantic with backups playing. Obviously, the Golden Gophers were without their star running back in the game against Purdue, but the fact that the Boilermakers defense held Minnesota to just 10 points is remarkable.
Devin Mockobee really stood out in the game against Minnesota on the road, totaling 112 yards on 11 carries and a touchdown. Moving forward, Purdue has a big chance to surprise college football fans with a win on the road against a rising Maryland program. Are the Boilermakers actually good?
