Hawkeyes trying to salvage season against Boilermakers

IOWA CITY (MCT) — The Purdue football team’s final three games have come down to the same thing Iowa’s season has — win or it is going to be a long off season.

The Boilermakers come to Kinnick Stadium winless in the Big Ten at 0-5. They are 3-6 overall.

The record and last-place mark in the Leaders Division are shocking after high expectations in West Lafayette to start the year. With Penn State and Ohio State ineligible for the conference championship, Purdue was expected to be the only challenge to Wisconsin for the division title. Instead, the Boilermakers sit with Illinois at the bottom of the division and Indiana is the only team who can catch the Badgers for the berth in the championship game.
