WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue football will take the field for the first time since its recent loss to Wisconsin on the road, utilizing a bye week to regroup for the final stretch of the 2022 regular season.

The team welcomes Iowa to Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday, looking to become bowl eligible for the fourth time under head coach Jeff Brohm and bring the program to a 6-3 record for the second straight season.

"We're going to have to play efficient football, we know that, in all three segments," Brohm said. "We're going to have to play as well as we have all year in order to get a win, and our guys need to understand that.
