Summary
The Purdue Boilermakers visit Michigan Stadium in search of their first Big Ten win of the season. In this episode of Behind Enemy Lines, you'll learn everything you need to know about the Boilermakers before Saturday night's game.
Under new head coach Barry Odom, Purdue is 2-6 overall and 0-5 in the Big Ten. There's no go-go offense like Odom ran at UNLV, so what should the Wolverines expect from the two QBs (Ryan Browne and Malachi Singleton), and who are the other names to know? Defensively, the Boilermakers have allowed more plays of 40-plus yards than anyone else in the Big Ten, but their front creates enough havoc to be a good challenge for the Wolverines. Hear about all that and more on this week's episode of Behind Enemy Lines.
