Gold and Black Radio: Purdue-Rutgers preview

The staff of GoldandBlack.com and host Derek Schultz break down the Purdue-Rutgers matchup (Oct. 25, noon, BTN) and more.
Date/Time: Saturday, October 25, Noon EDT
Location: Ross-Ade Stadium
Surface: Bermuda Grass
Capacity: 61,441 (tickets)
2025 schedules/records: Purdue 2-5 (0-4 Big Ten) | Rutgers 3-4 (0-4 Big Ten)
Series notes: Although Rutgers joined the Big Ten in 2014, this will mark just the third meeting between the Boilermakers and Scarlet Knights. Rutgers left each matchup victorious. Purdue out-gained Rutgers 474-217 in Piscataway in 2017, but it couldn’t take advantage of scoring opportunities, and Rutgers held on to win 14-12. In 2020, in front of an empty Ross-Ade Stadium, Purdue could not get stops against Rutgers’ offense, as the Scarlet Knights walked out with a 37-30 victory. Purdue still seeks victories against two Big Ten programs: Rutgers and UCLA, though the Boilermakers and Bruins have not met since UCLA joined the Big Ten last summer.
