VIDEO: Big Hopes for the Big House
Purdue vs. Michigan Video Preview
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Halfway through the 2007 season, the Boilermakers find themselves at 5-1, one win away from securing their 10th bowl appearance in 11 years and still in the thick of the Big Ten title race.
They could take a big step towards those goals this weekend when Purdue heads to Michigan to play the Wolverines. It will be the first time since 2003 that the teams have met in Ann Arbor, Mich.
For most of the Boilermakers, it will be the first time they have had a chance to play in Michigan Stadium, a.k.a. the Big House. The stadium, which seats over 110,000 people at capacity, is one of the largest college football venues in America.
Earlier this week, Boilermaker All-Access caught up with defensive back Justin Scott and receiver Greg Orton to see what they though of playing in the Big House.
Purdue and Michigan kickoff at noon on Saturday. The game can be seen on the Big Ten Network and heard around the state on the Boilermaker Radio Network.
Purdue returns home on Saturday, Oct. 20, to play Iowa. For ticket information, go to purduesports.com or call the Athletic Ticket Office at 1-800-49-SPORT.
