Summary:
Purdue has many returning starters, especially defensively.  However, outside of defensive tackle Kawann Short none of them are special.  This is about as average as a team gets and its head coach, Danny Hope is also average, however he does have the coolest mustache in college football.   Penn State and Indiana at home are probably the only B1G games the Boilermakers will be favored to win.  This will likely be Danny Hope's last season in West Lafayette.  This is the year Indiana finishes with a better record than Purdue.

Prediction:
4-8
