WEST LAFAYETTE − Purdue football will try to take a three-game winning streak into an idle week.
To do so, the Boilermakers have to beat Washington, where former head coach Ryan Walters is defensive coordinator.
It marks Walters' first trip back to Ross-Ade Stadium since his firing after the 2024 season following a 1-11 record.
With a win, Purdue would improve to 3-1 in the Big Ten for the first time since 2022 when it started 3-0 before losing to Wisconsin.
