Purdue will be without a few key players Saturday, and will have decisions on others at game time.

Nose guard Mo Omonode and line backer Jalen Graham will be out for Purdue against Syracuse on Saturday. On the offensive side of the ball, key running back King Doerue will be out.

Doerue is currently the Boilermakers’ leading carrier and his loss will definitely be felt.

Wide receiver Broc Thompson and linebacker Semisi Fakasiieiki are both game time decisions at the moment.

 Thompson has had just three receptions on the season, so his loss would likely not affect Purdue too much. Fakasiieiki missed the entirety of the 2021 season with an injury and is looking to make his return on Saturday, but is still uncertain.

Purdue and Syracuse kick off at 12 pm EST. The Boilermakers are looking to build steam after a win last week.
