Does Purdue have any chance of upsetting a suddenly red-hot Michigan football team at the Big House. It would seem like a longshot, but anything is possible in college football. The Wolverines host the Boilermakers at 7 p.m. on Big Ten Network on Saturday, Nov. 1, and will be massive favorites to come out with their third straight win.

Michigan's passing game continues to develop through Underwood. Twelve (12) different players have caught passes this year, including five with 10 or more receptions. Freshman Andrew Marsh has 20 catches, 321 yards and a pair of touchdowns across the last month of the season.

Purdue enters November with four of the top college football teams in the country left on the schedule. Not ideal for a team that's lost six straight.

The Boilermakers (2-6, 0-5) are on a 14-game Big Ten losing streak, with their last win coming Nov. 25, 2023 against an Indiana team about to fire its coach. They beat Ball State and Southern Illinois (an FCS program) to start this season before dropping their next six: five Big Ten games and Notre Dame.
