Sam King, Journal & Courier, Minnesota 28-24: “The weight of that long Big Ten losing streak is off Purdue’s shoulders. Now for a new stat. The Boilermakers haven’t won consecutive Big Ten games since closing the 2022 regular season with three in a row. Minnesota doesn’t blow out opponents, so Purdue has a chance. Last season, a defensive score gave Minnesota the edge. It might be again.”
