A Double Purdue Report with Jake Dunn (3.117)
32m | Oct 30, 2026A rough night for Purdue Basketball. A chance to get back on track for Purdue Football. Greg Mengelt and Jake Dunn cover both in this double edition of the Purdue Report.
First, we break down the Boilermakers’ 76–53 exhibition loss to UConn. How much concern is warranted after Purdue shot 2-for-25 from 3-point range? Greg and Jake offer different outlooks on the season, discuss CJ Cox’s strong performance and Daniel Jacobson’s importance, and examine the rebounding, offensive movement and decision-making that need to improve before Monday’s opener against Gonzaga.
Then, we turn to Football as Purdue heads to Happy Valley to face a Penn State team desperate to end a 4-game losing streak. Can the Boilermakers establish the run, protect Ryan Browne and get enough stops to pull off the upset? We discuss the matchup, the opportunity to revive Purdue’s bowl hopes and our final score predictions: Greg takes Penn State 37–33, while Jake picks the Nittany Lions 35–25.
