On Saturday, Purdue will have a chance to score a big win for the B1G, as it hosts an SEC program. The Boilermakers are 1-2 in the last two seasons against SEC foes. They went 1-1 against Missouri (win in 2017, loss in 2018) but were defeated by Auburn in the Music City Bowl last season.
Brohm and the Boilers will be looking to even the score with the SEC at 2-2 on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. ET.
