Purdue, After Big Ten-Skid-Snapping Win, Chases Encore vs. Gophers

Following a 24-17 upset victory over Illinois last week—Purdue's first Big Ten win since 2023—the Boilermakers prepare for a Saturday night conference clash against the Minnesota Golden Gophers in West Lafayette.
Boilermakers defensive coordinator Kevin Kane received praise after his defense held Illinois to seven points through three quarters, allowing coach Barry Odom to secure his biggest win in two seasons at Purdue.
Quarterback Ryan Browne threw for 255 yards while running back Fame Ijeboi added 65 yards on 19 carries, with Purdue converting all four red-zone opportunities against Illinois.
Running back Fame Ijeboi faces his former team after transferring from Minnesota, where he rushed for 441 yards last year; the Golden Gophers enter the matchup riding a three-game winning streak.
Golden Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said his team has "moved on internally" from recent victories, emphasizing that Minnesota must play its "best football game of the year" at West Lafayette.
