Purdue travels to the historic Palestra where Penn State has been playing about one conference game a year of late. They are 2-0 in these conference games. Penn State is doing their best to get in front of the recruit rich Philadelphia market and this is a great opportunity for them. Purdue meanwhile is coming off a huge victory over Ohio State on the road. Purdue, still ranked #1, will be playing their third conference game this week. The Big Ten is never easy to win and this week is a prime example. I’ll be in attendance covering the game so expect more coverage later this evening. In the meantime take a look at the predictions below and hop in with your fellow Boilermaker fans.
