After a bye week, a critical month of October looms for Purdue with some opportunities to win games. Host Jordan Jones looks at where Purdue stands post-bye week with things that look better and worse than he expected entering the season. Then, it's onto the rivalry game, as he previews Illinois and Saturday's Cannon Game. Is Illinois as good as advertised? What does Jordan make of the 9.5-point spread? He looks into Saturday's game in full before touching on the opportunities that await Barry Odom and company this month.
