The BXP Crew is joined by our friend BC from Light the Torch Podcast to break down Purdue’s upcoming clash with USC. We dig into the Trojans’ high-powered offense, key matchups to watch, and what Boilermaker fans can expect when these two programs collide. Tune in for sharp analysis, bold predictions, and some friendly cross-podcast banter.

The BXP Crew is in midseason form as Purdue opens the year 1–0 with a dominant 31–0 win over Ball State. Frank, Damon, Dylan, Chris, and Russ break down the home-opener atmosphere at Ross-Ade, Ryan Brown’s career day and “Jack Sparrow” touchdown run, and Arhmad Branch’s long-awaited breakout performance. The crew debates Branch vs. Michael Jackson III, digs into PFF grades and highlights surprise starters .

They also tackle concerns about the run game, celebrate Purdue’s clean penalty sheet, and revisit Big Ten week-one struggles—asking which teams should already be worried. Looking ahead, the Boilers face a ranked FCS opponent in Southern Illinois, a speedy Saluki squad with nothing to lose. Can Purdue string together two disciplined performances before USC looms? Predictions, laughs, and plenty of Kool-Aid sipping (or not) set the stage for Saturday night under the lights in Ross-Ade.

The BXP crew is back for Season 4, kicking things off with a deep dive into the current state of Purdue football and a first look at the new talent joining the Boilermaker basketball squad. Damon, Frank, Chris, Dylan, and Russ recap the offseason headlines from West Lafayette — from coaching shifts to key departures and emerging stars on the gridiron. Then it’s hoops time: the crew gives early impressions of Aussie big man Oscar Cluff and intriguing freshman guard Omer Mayer, breaking down how they might fit into Matt Painter’s system. It’s a new season, with the same sharp takes, bold predictions, and Boiler pride.
