After getting their biggest win of the season, Penn State will look to keep it rolling against the Big Ten’s perennial doormat in Purdue.

This season didn’t start out well for Penn State. Ever since James Franklin took over as coach, they were never a Top 25 team despite having Christian Hackenberg. It looked like it would be the same story when they suffered early losses to Pitt and Michigan. But ever since that latter loss, Penn State has rattled off three straight wins, including one at home against Ohio State, which is the signature victory that Franklin has been looking for.

On the other hand, Purdue has a big coaching problem. Even though Darrell Hazell has given the program three years of mediocrity, they kept him, but on a very short leash. A loss to Iowa seven weeks in was the final death knell for Hazell, and they fired him despite owning a 3-3 record. Gerad Parker is serving as interim head coach, and gave a valiant effort against the Big Ten West’s leading team in Nebraska.

The Nittany Lions are rolling right now, but Nebraska’s effort last week proved that it won’t be easy for them to gameplan for a team with a new head coach and system. The Boilermakers also have a quarterback in David Blough who is number one in the Big Ten in yards per game, as well as the advantage of the home crowd. This has all the makings of a trap game, and it’s one that Penn State can’t afford to fall into a week after beating Ohio State.

This game will be broadcast on either ABC or ESPN2. But considering the other choice is Lamar Jackson and the Louisville Cardinals, this will likely be relegated to ESPN2. In either case, the best way to watch the game online is through watchESPN, which is available on computers and mobile devices. In order to access it, you’ll have to log in with your television service provider.
