This weekend’s matchup between the Boilermakers and Wolverines has a great deal of heat behind it. Not only is Michigan facing increased pressure from the media and other Big Ten coaches over its alleged cheating scandal, but it is coming off a bye week with antsy feet.
Purdue, on the other hand, likely has a bone to pick with the Wolverines. Michigan took the Boilermakers to town last year in the Big Ten Championship game, ending their upset bid at a title. Purdue is in the midst of a struggling season and surely remembers how its last chance at glory ended.
Take a look at what Purdue’s staff and players are saying heading in the game.
