For the Cats is the Purdue Boilermakers. Purdue University is based in West Lafeyette, Indiana, but has campuses throughout the state.

Purdue is coming off consecutive beatings by Notre Dame and Iowa, so they will be loaded for bear at Dyche Stadium. Conversely, the Wildcats have lost to Nevada, Penn State, and Wisconsin. Purdue has a reasonably good offense and a reasonably bad defense. Unfortunately, that plays to the Cats failings, as we have a poor offense and a reasonably poor defense. Look for Purdue to score a lot of points and the Cats to continue to score too few - early line is Boilermakers giving 11.

Players to watch for Purdue are qb Curtis Painter and rb Jaycen Taylor. For the Cats, we'll see if Brewer gets the start after his last miserable outing or if we see Kafka or even Bacher; and whether or not Tyrell Sutton is back to 100%.

I'll be partying in the West lot if anyone cares to join me, and Go Cats!
