Current records: Purdue 4-4; Iowa 6-2

What to Know

On Saturday Purdue will take on Iowa at 3:30 p.m. Purdue are the slight favorite, but fans of the teams should be in for an exciting matchup likely to go down to the wire.

After a string of four wins, Purdue’s good fortune finally ran out last Saturday. It was a hard-fought game, but they had to settle for a 13-23 loss against Michigan St..

Meanwhile, if Iowa were riding high off their 23-0 takedown of Maryland two weeks ago, that ride came to an abrupt end. Iowa were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap, as they fell 24-30 to Penn St. The match was a 17-17 toss-up at halftime, but Iowa were outplayed the rest of the way.

Both teams will surely be scrapping tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses last week. We’ll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
