Purdue vs UCLA   Picks & Props

Purdue is improved in year two under head coach Barry Odom. Last week they nearly pulled a small upset at home versus Wake Forest before losing by two. 
 
Wake Forest converted a 4th-and-15 in the second overtime. Change that one unlikely conversion and Purdue enters this game 2-0. You have to ask would the Boilermakers still be catching more than two touchdowns here? I have my doubts.

Purdue dropped 455 total yards and 29 first downs on a good Wake Forest defense in Week 2. The market isn't giving enough respect to Fame Ijeboi's dominance at running back and how he opens up the passing attack. 

Purdue (2-0 O/U) quarterback Ryan Browne is averaging 9.1 yards per attempt and 323 passing yards per game for an attack ranked 15th in passing success rate. Fame Ijeboi is a star at running back. As for UCLA, the Bruins have racked up 10 rushing TDs already, and Purdue's defense hasn't shown much verve.

I'd play Purdue at anything over two touchdowns, as there's been a lot to like about the Boilermakers' start to the season. The offense is clicking (29th in EPA per play) led by running back Fame Ijeboi, who leads the Big Ten with 19 missed tackles forced, six more than any other rusher.
