What channel is Purdue vs. Syracuse on today? Time, TV schedule for Boilermakers' matchup

Purdue will face off against Syracuse Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, its final game before the start of the Big Ten portion of its schedule.

The Boilermakers bounced back from a disappointing season-opening loss to Fresno State — Purdue's first game under coach Ryan Walters — to go on the road and defeat Virginia Tech 24-17 and improve to 1-1 on the season. Texas transfer quarterback Hudson Card threw for 248 yards and ran for a 2-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter of the victory. The Boilermakers also picked off Virginia Tech quarterback Grant Wells twice, while holding the Hokies to only 286 total yards.

Purdue and Syracuse played last season in an entertaining back-and-forth game that featured two touchdowns in the final 51 seconds, including a 25-yard Oronde Gadsden II touchdown catch with seven seconds remaining that gave the Orange a 32-29 victory.

Syracuse and coach Dino Babers bring back several key pieces from a team that finished 7-6 and made a bowl for just the second time since 2013. Quarterback Garrett Shrader, who connected with Gadsden for that late touchdown in the 2022 matchup, has completed 68.5 percent of his passes for 543 yards, five touchdowns and one interception while adding 71 yards on 11 carries on the ground. Though it came against lower-level competition — Colgate and Western Michigan — the Orange won their first two games this season by a combined 113-7 margin.
