Some in Michigan are wondering if the Wolverines aren’t starting down a similar path seen in previous years when a slide starts after a loss to the Spartans.
The Boilermakers, meanwhile, enter this game with a win over the Illinois Fighting Illini last Saturday. But this game is the start of a string of tough contests. After this one, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Iowa follow in successive weeks.
But for this week, Hammer and Rails, our Purdue blog, has four keys to this game if the Boilermakers want to win. The main one is to hold keep quarterback Denard Robinson silent. He is a dual-threat on the field, but he is most deadly running the ball. Silence him and the Wolverines might be defeated.
