Purdue Boilermakers Set to Face Wake Forest Demon Deacons in Week 2 Matchup

The Purdue Boilermakers are scheduled to play against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Saturday in a Week 2 college football matchup, broadcast on FS1. This game marks a Big Ten-ACC clash as both teams look to build on their season openers.

Purdue started the season with a victory over Indiana State, where running back Fame Ijeboi stood out with 87 rushing yards and a touchdown, achieving the highest PFF rushing grade among running backs. Quarterback Ryan Browne also had a notable performance, passing for 317 yards and three touchdowns.

In contrast, Wake Forest is coming off a successful 9-4 season and began this year with a commanding 38-16 win against Akron. Quarterback Gio Lopez, a transfer from UNC, threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns in his debut, while running back Ty Clark III added 105 rushing yards. The Boilermakers will need to strengthen their defense, which struggled last season, as they prepare to face a potent Wake Forest offense.
