WHAT: Purdue Boilermakers (3-6 overall, 2-3 Big Ten) at Michigan Wolverines (5-4 overall, 1-4 Big Ten).
WHERE: Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor.
KICKOFF: 12:01 p.m., Saturday.
TV: Big Ten Network.
RADIO: WOMC-FM 104.3, WTKA-AM 1050.
RUNDOWN: Last year, Michigan's bowl hopes mathematically ended with a 48-42 loss on the road against Purdue. This year, the Boilermakers could spoil the Wolverines' postseason hopes again.
True, Michigan will have two more chances to get a bowl-qualifying sixth win no matter what happens Saturday. But for all intents and purposes, the Purdue game represents the Wolverines' best chance at victory over the final three games.
