WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue football returns to Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday for a Homecoming matchup with Florida Atlantic, the team's final nonconference game of the season.

The Boilermakers are coming off a deflating 32-29 road loss at the hands of Syracuse, putting them at 1-2 on the season. The team will look to get back to its winning ways before resuming Big Ten play.  

"It's disappointing, it hurts, it stings. It's like an uppercut to your gut, but that's football," coach Jeff Brohm said. "You gotta learn from it. I think we've addressed it about as much as you possibly can, and now you don't want to overkill it. Just get back to playing football."

This will be the first-ever meeting between the two programs. After this week, Purdue resumes its conference schedule with a road game against Minnesota on Saturday, Oct. 1.
