With a new head coach this season, Purdue football is at least warranting prime time games throughout the year including a Black Friday primetime matchup with Indiana for the Old Oaken Bucket. If nothing else, Purdue football will get a good number of views this season under the first year of Barry Odom.
Following this announcement, Purdue is awaiting the kickoff times for home games against Illinois and Ohio State as well as road contests at Northwestern, Michigan, and Washington. For now, Purdue is fully scheduled for its first 4 games of the season.
