The Indiana State Sycamores will hit the road to start this year's campaign against the Purdue Boilermakers. Kickoff is scheduled at 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium.
Looking back to last season, Indiana State will look to improve upon their 1-10 record. Similarly, Purdue finished with a dismal 4-8 record.
Indiana State is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They finished last season with a 5-6 record against the spread.
The disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for Indiana State considering the team didn't win a single game as the underdog last year. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 11 games they played last year would have netted $467.54. Purdue will open their season as the favorite, and the team was 2-2 as such last season.
