The Boilermakers (2-0) are off to their best start since 2021 under first-year coach Barry Odom, tasked with revitalizing a program that has just three Big Ten victories over the past two seasons. Running back Devin Mockobee, the lone returning starter from last year's backfield, already has three rushing touchdowns in 2025.

Big plays allowed have been a problem for the USC defense thus far. That continues in Saturday against Purdue, with the Trojans giving up a touchdown of 25 or more yards. USC is the better team, but 20.5 points is simply too high of a line. The Trojans win it, but they do not cover the point spread.
