The 2026 Purdue football season is off to a fast start here. After falling in double overtime to Wake Forest last week Purdue hits the road for the first time this season. They are in sunny California to take on the Bruins who sit at 2-0.
This game is the latest kickoff for the Boilermakers since they traveled to play Hawaii. Hopefully you’ve got some plan to stay awake. But remember, no caffeine pills. I don’t care how excited you are.
Kickoff Time: 11:00 PM ET
TV: BTN
Radio: 96.5 FM (Purdue Radio Network)
Series Record: 0-3-2 (yes, there have been two ties in this series)
Last Purdue Win: Never
Last UCLA Win: September 20, 1980 UCLA 23- Purdue 14 in Ross-Ade
This game thread, or fan discussion, will be available here on the site but also in the new SB Nation app. I used it each of the past two games and it really did make commenting easier and clearer to follow along with. For those that use the app I hope you agree. Feel free to provide feedback so we can keep improving it.
So, join us below from the stands, the couch, or the bar, to help us root on our Boilermakers against the UCLA Bruins.
