Purdue football is in rebuilding mode after a brutal two-win season, loaded with seven new starters on offense alone, hoping transfers from Penn, FAU, and Iowa State can revive QB Ryan Browne’s shaky play. Defense is equally turnover-heavy, with standout transfer Elo Modozie and up to ten newcomers expected to lead the way. Can they sneak into eight wins? Maybe—if Browne improves and the transfers click. But Penn State, with a bye week and a top-25 roster, looks poised to dominate this matchup, making it a clear mismatch despite Purdue’s new coach Barry Odom.
