Purdue suffered a tough loss to the Demon Deacons in week 2 but there was real life, fight, and progress shown. Will that be enough to help them get over the hump as they travel to the West coast? Did they learn enough about themselves? What about the playcalling that I think we can agree had problems on both sides of the ball? Will it be improved enough to finish drives and prevent opponents from converting on 3rd or 4th and long? Gosh I hope so.

Join us right here all week as we look toward the game against UCLA. The Bruins sit at 2-0 on the season and will be a big opportunity for the Boilermakers who are looking to start the Big Ten season with a win. Odds are against them, as you can see by clicking Casey’s story below, but there’s a reason they play the games.
