Purdue (2-3, 0-2 Big Ten) and Minnesota (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) meet tonight in a Week 7 Big Ten matchup at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Minnesota seeks to bounce back from a tough loss to Ohio State, while Purdue looks to get its first Big Ten win.
Purdue QB Ryan Browne has thrown for over 1,300 yards and 7 touchdowns so far, but he’s also tossed 5 interceptions. Their top running back Devin Mockobee has been a workhorse and presents a mismatch threat, especially if Minnesota’s run defense is vulnerable.
The Boilermakers’ defense has struggled this season — particularly in pass defense, giving up big plays and facing schematic breakdowns in the secondary.
Minnesota QB Drake Lindsey brings both passing proficiency and mobility. The Gophers’ offense is well-balanced and will look to exploit Purdue’s defensive vulnerabilities, especially through the air.
Minnesota’s defense has been inconsistent, but at home, they force pace, maintain home-field energy, and try to make opponents one-dimensional.
Historically, Minnesota leads the series 41–35–3.
Purdue vs. Minnesota Prediction
This may be a winnable game for Purdue if they protect the ball and limit big passing plays. But Minnesota’s home edge, better balance, and ability to make more consistent plays likely decide it.
Projected Score: Minnesota 31, Purdue 24
