The Boilermakers now have to travel across the country to Oregon State to face a quasi-Power Four program who just watched ND hang 364 rushing yards on the Boilermakers. OSU will look to keep the pressure on Purdue’s shell-shocked defense that ranks 110th in EPA/play and 106th in plays of 20+ yards allowed.

WR Darrius Clemons — Oregon State's projected starting wideout has yet to play in a game this season and was not in uniform during the Beavers' road trip to San Diego State last weekend. Clemons, a former four-star signee in the 2022 class, spent his first two seasons at Michigan before transferring to OSU last offseason.
