Purdue football offense shows improvement in narrow loss to Wake Forest

On September 12, 2026, Purdue Boilermakers faced Wake Forest at Ross-Ade Stadium. While Purdue struggled to secure a victory, the team showed notable improvement in offensive performance compared to their earlier game against Indiana State. The defense also made strides, applying pressure late and forcing Wake Forest into a three-and-out when needed. Fans are now asked which side of the ball exhibited more growth from week 1 to week 2, with results to be revealed later this week.
