WEEK 4 PREVIEW: Notre Dame vs Purdue Boilermakers—Can Barry Odom PRODUCE Results With New Roster?

Purdue Boilermakers eye modest progress as Barry Odom reshapes the roster with over 50 new players, but can this offseason’s aggressive overhaul finally lift Purdue out of the Big Ten basement? Key playmakers like linebacker Charles Correa and running back Antonio Harris return, while transfers from Power Four schools aim to address glaring weaknesses, especially on the offensive line and in the defensive secondary.
