What about Saturday at Missouri? A 35-3 throttling of a Southeastern Conference team on the road was surely an enjoyable experience for Purdue’s quarterback?

In the past, Purdue was the one getting pushed around and embarrassed.

“I hope what Purdue football is right now is a team people want to show up and watch, that they can support and be behind and have some momentum we haven’t had in a while,” Blough said.
