Coach: Joe Tiller (9th year at Purdue)
Team Name: Boilermakers
2004 Record: 7-5
2004 Big 10 Conference Record 4-4
2004 ATS Record: 6-5-1
Returning Starters: 18

Boy did the Boilermakers luck out not drawing Ohio St. or Michigan this year. Because of this lucky draw an undefeated season is not out of the realm of possibility. There are only 3 games on the schedule where Purdue should have difficulty and should be favored in all 3. At home to Iowa in October and at Wisky at the end of October will be the toughest games, but after that is smooth sailing with the talent level this team possess. Last years defensive unit only allowed 17 points per game and now all 11 starters return. Mix a stingy defense in with a solid offensive unit lead by Brandon Kirsh and this team has the talent to win the Big 10 and a major bowl. Purdue has been to 8 straight bowl games and anything less than a New Years day bowl bid would shock us.
