Indiana State has conceded 105 points without response against Purdue and hopes to snap that miserable streak when they reunite at Ross-Ade Stadium under the Friday night lights. The Boilermakers get their 2026 season up and running at home to a state rival, chasing an eighth win from eight in this particular head-to-head.
Barry Odom returns for his second season as head coach of Purdue, knowing things can't get a lot worse than Year 1. The program went 2-10 in the Big Ten and failed to win a single conference matchup en route to finishing bottom of the pile. This week will provide a rare test against live opposition before the more difficult tasks come around the corner.
The Sycamores already got their season off the ground with a painful 23-21 defeat to fellow FCS foe Southeast Missouri State. Just about everyone in college football will expect Indiana State to make it 0-2 in West Lafayette this week, but therein lies the freedom that can sometimes lead to upsets of mighty proportions.

Junior quarterback Ryan Browne returns to action for Purdue this season, though Odom may be more interested in giving his rushing arm some confidence this week. Jerrick Gibson will lead a talented running unit alongside Antonio Harris and Minnesota transfer Fame Ijeboi, in the hopes they can take a hefty chunk of the Boilermakers' burden on their shoulders this year.
