Oct. 2: Pregame for Michigan State

The Boilermakers turn toward Big Ten play Saturday, hoping they can correct the mistakes of their non-conference season. Coming up on Gold and Black Radio, we'll break down Purdue's first opponent, No. 2 Michigan State, as the Boilermakers travel to East Lansing. What will it take for Purdue to compete? We talk to Lansing State Journal columnist Graham Couch about the Spartans, plus BTN.com senior writer Tom Dienhart about the Big Ten. And our feature is on Gregory Phillips, who stepped into a big role last week and should have one again Saturday. That, plus recruiting, analysis, our predictions and more.
