Struggling Big Ten Program Fires Coach After Suffering Sixth Loss of the Season

Purdue turned Homecoming into an outright embarrassment. A humiliating 34-29 loss to a Maryland team that hadn’t won a Big Ten game all season was the final straw. Less than 24 hours later, the Boilermakers fired defensive coordinator Kevin Kane, just nine games into his second stint. With Purdue sitting at 3-6 and its bowl hopes collapsing, Barry Odom’s second season is looking like a repeat of his disastrous first, thanks to a defense that surrendered 27 second-half points, including three touchdowns of at least 40 yards. Odom made the call, and the school announced it on Sunday, effective i...

Purdue at Iowa: Opening Odds

How does FanDuel think Purdue will fire in the second post-Kevin Kane era?. After a [somewhat] stunning defeat and a [not-so] stunning coaching change over homecoming weekend, Purdue football will travel to Iowa City to take on the AP #16 Hawkeyes in Kinnick. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET so it will be played under the lights. This Iowa teams comes into the week with a 7-2 record with their only losses being to Ohio State (when they still had a healthy Julian Sayin) and at Minnesota. In their 3 remaining games including Saturday night, Iowa is going to attempt to get to 10-2 and try and reach the College Football Playoff for the first time in school history. The Hawkeyes are currently ranked #19 in the CFP but a new set of rankings will drop this week. Iowa’s previous closest attempt at the playoff was 2015 where a 12-0 Hawkeyes team lost in the Big Ten Championship to Michigan State. The Spartans would go on to jump the Hawkeyes in the CFP rankings and take the slot from Kirk Ferentz and company before getting blown out by eventual champion, Alabama, in the Cotton Bowl.

Lillie Graves has a chance at Indiana Miss Basketball history this season

LAFAYETTE — There is no higher individual honor in Indiana high school girls basketball than winning the Miss Basketball award. Handed out to the state’s top performing senior, the list of recipients in the 50-year history include multiple future college and WNBA stars. Amazingly, though, nobody from a high school in Lafayette city limits has won the prestigious honor. That could change this winter. McCutcheon is home to Lillie Graves , and she is an early frontrunner for the award in her senior season. It doesn’t take long to discover why. Rated a four-star recruit and ranked 60th nationally by ESPN, the Virginia Tech commit has become a prolific talent. She averaged 17.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.3 steals per game last season on 47% shooting from the field for the Class 4A semi-state runner-up Mavericks , while also shooting a career-best 33% from behind the arc. More: Top returning 2026-27 girls basketball teams from Lafayette area Graves is also likely to break the Tippecanoe County scoring record set by Lafayette Jeff’s Maya Layton last year. Layton finished her career with 2,044 points, while Graves was at 1,565 before this season began — 479 points off. She has

Hawkeyes Look to Take Care of Business Against Purdue

The Hawkeyes are riding a minor heater. Can they continue the trend as they return home to take on the Boilermakers?. That road trip could not have gone much better. Iowa walked into the shiny, new home of the Northwestern Wildcats, Ryan Field, on Saturday night and decided to do some redecorating. The Hawkeye defense sacked Nicco Marchiol six times and held the Wildcats to 1-of-11 on third down. L.J. Phillips Jr. ran for a career-best 128 yards in his first start and Braeden Jackson housed a kickoff 96 yards for his second return touchdown of the season. Iowa walked out with a 24-10 win that never felt that close, making it five straight over Northwestern.
