Purdue Boilermakers, despite their six-game losing streak, have a similar win record to Wisconsin and Michigan State. Their offense and defense rank around number seventy-seven in the SP Plus rankings. However, they struggle to score points, averaging only seventeen per game in conference play. Running back Devin Mockobee and recent transfer Malachi Thomas lead their rushing attack, averaging over five yards per carry. Michigan's run defense poses a challenge, as teams score six rushing touchdowns against them despite only averaging three yards per carry. If Purdue can grind out solid gains, they may earn respect, even if it doesn't translate to wins.
