Northwestern Ohio at Purdue Exhibition Preview

Purdue's second exhibition, the one we can actually talk about, happens on Sunday afternoon as Purdue host the University of Northwestern Ohio. I didn't even know such a place existed, but here we are. As part of an informal preview of what should be an easy win (because there is simply no excuse to lose to a lower division team, especially by 32 points) here are some quickie facts:
