Purdue vs Indiana State Game Preview
Why Indiana State Will Win
The Sycamores were able to get over a ton of mistakes to slip past North Alabama 17-14 in overtime to start the season off with a win. The defense was fantastic, the front didn’t allow a thing against the run, and there were plenty of plays behind the line to be disruptive.

Indiana State won’t get two takeaways and 14 penalties like it came up with against North Alabama.
