It was a wild week for Purdue. The Boilers got a double digit win over a top 15 team, arguably its best victory of the season, on Tuesday. Two days alter they had their worst defeat not only of the season, but the past few years in a 24 point blowout at the hands of Michigan. Then you had mere survival yesterday against Maryland. As a result, Purdue drops two places in this week’s AP Poll, a fair penalty for such a bad game on the road and a near death experience at home against a bad team.
