Barry Odom is rebuilding Purdue from the ground up with a completely overhauled roster, a new-look coaching staff, and hopes of making the Boilermakers competitive again before Notre Dame arrives in West Lafayette for the Irish's first true road game of the 2026 season. Tyler Wojciak is joined by Nick Arvin of Locked On Boilermakers to continue the opponent preview series by breaking down the state of Purdue football under Barry Odom, what this rivalry game means to the Boilermakers, evaluating Ryan Browne and Purdue's rebuilt offense, and examining whether a revamped defense can give Notre Dame a much tougher challenge this season.
