How to Watch Big Ten Network's Visit to Purdue Football Fall Camp

The Big Ten Network's tour bus is making a stop in West Lafayette this weekend. On Sunday, a group of college football analysts will swing by Purdue to check in on Barry Odom and the Boilermakers to see how things are progressing in his second season as head coach.

Purdue is coming off a 2-10 campaign in 2025, leaving plenty of room for improvement entering Odom's second year. The Boilers also haven't won a Big Ten game in two seasons and are hoping to end that ugly drought this fall.

Big Ten Network arrives as Purdue has completed two full weeks of fall camp. The opening kickoff against Indiana State is set for Friday, Sept. 4. It's almost time to put a wrap on camp and start preparations for Week 1.

For fans interested in catching Big Ten Network's trip to West Lafayette, here's how you can watch.

Every August, college football analysts from Big Ten Network stop by fall camp for every Big Ten school, providing a brief check-in at each stop. The special is one hour for each school.

Fans can expect to see interviews with Odom, offensive coordinator Josh Henson and defensive coordinator Kevin Kane. Big Ten Network also interviews a handful of players while in town. Analysts also offer their opinions on what they see while watching practice.

It's always difficult to gauge where a team stands based on fall camp. For Purdue, most questions won't be answered until at least Week 2, when the Boilermakers host Wake Forest in non-conference action.

Purdue begins the season against Indiana State, but the Sycamores are a struggling program at the FCS level. The outcome of that game likely won't provide any new information about what the Boilermakers can accomplish this fall.

The Boilermakers enter this season on a 10-game losing streak and have lost 18 straight contests to Big Ten opponents. They've also dropped 20 consecutive contests to Power Four opponents.

Odom and his team will have opportunities to put an end to all of those droughts within the first three weeks of the college football season (Indiana State, Wake Forest, UCLA).
