The Hot Corner, Purdue vs. Marshall
DAVID SCHOEN LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 0-0 (overall record)
Today’s best bet: PURDUE-Marshall (Over 63)
The Boilermakers are a sleeper team in the wide-open Big Ten, even with Caleb TerBush at quarterback. Purdue is 13-for-13 in the red zone (12 touchdowns, one field goal) and should have no problem moving the ball against the Thundering Herd, who rank 118th in the nation in scoring defense. Marshall features the nation’s leading passer in Rakeem Cato. That makes a big number like this seem slightly less daunting.
