Following a big win over Ohio State, Oregon will be on the road in Week 8 for what could be a trickier-than-expected game against Purdue. The Oregon vs. Purdue game won't draw a ton of attention nationally, but Big Ten fans know all about the Spoilermakers and their affinity for knocking off top-five teams as extreme underdogs.

In fact, Purdue has three wins over top-five teams in the past six years as an unranked underdog.

The Boilermakers will try to make that four on Saturday in West Lafayette, but they may legitimately be the worst team in the conference. They're currently a far cry from the Jeff Brohm-led Spoilermakers from previous years. But the Ducks still can't overlook them.

Let's dive into everything you need to know ahead of Saturday's game, starting with how to watch.
