The Boilermakers were 2-1 against ranked foes this season, losing their home opener to Penn State while winning road games against Minnesota and Illinois. When ranked, Michigan is 31-5 all-time against Purdue. Purdue has lost four consecutive games in this series but last played the Wolverines in 2017. Michigan’s 24 wins over the past two seasons are the most in school history. A win would cement the legacy of this Purdue squad and likely result in a New Year’s Day bowl bid. West Division champ Purdue is making its first title game appearance, seeking to end a 22-year Big Ten title drought. A win Saturday won’t end the streak but would set up Michigan for a top-two playoff seed. The Wolverines come into the game against the Boilermakers with even more than just an undefeated season at stake – they’ve won 11 national championships in school history but only one since 1949, that one coming in 1997. You can hear the game on 97.1 The Ticket and WWJ 950. The latter of the three all require a subscription or cable/satellite login. You can watch every play on FOX 2, the FOX Sports App, YouTube TV, or Hulu Live.
