00:03 The Boilermakers are a 17 and a half point underdog.
00:07 Purdue as an unranked team against an AP top five opponent of which Ohio State is,
00:13 has 17, excuse me, outright victories in the modern era of the AP poll
00:19 that dates back to the start of 1936.
00:22 No other team in college football, Joe, has 11 or more.
00:26 That is how good Purdue is in these spots.
00:29 Are we going to see that here once again in 2023?

00:36 Now I was on Purdue last week and they went toe to toe with Iowa.
00:39 They were down by 20 to 14.
00:41 They had the ball with two minutes left.

00:56 Very inconsistent.
00:57 They're throwing for a lot of yards, 245 per game, but
01:01 they're not converting in terms of red zone opportunities.

01:07 156 passing yards allowed, 55% completion percentage.
01:11 And here's the other factor too, when you think about Ohio State, big picture.
