Sean Williams - Purdue 38, Minnesota 28:
It was one step forward against Illinois, but two steps back against Iowa, at least for the Gophers' offense. A lot needs to be cleaned up on both sides of the ball coming off last week's performance, so my feeling remains the same - Minnesota's offense will score, but they won't score more than their defense will allow.
Connor Stevens - Purdue 34, Gophers 21:
Minnesota's defensive struggles continue against David Bell and Zander Horvath. This is a chance to create more balance in the offensive attack and gain some sort of momentum going into Wisconsin, but it doesn't seem like Minnesota has the consistency on either side of the ball this year to do so.
Alex Carlson - Purdue 31, Gophers 23. Purdue's offensive firepower through the air going to be too much for a struggling secondary that is missing Benjamin St. Juste. Offense looked out of sync last week and while I expect them to be better, hard to think it's going to be a complete 180. Purdue wins this one in a lower scoring battle.
Jared Halus - Purdue 34, Minnesota 24
Minnesota had an opportunity to create some momentum for themselves after a win against Illinois, but that momentum is likely diminished after the disheartening loss to Iowa. Coach Fleck is good enough to inspire the team, and they will not get embarrassed, but Purdue will come out on top.
