Both teams are starting over in a way. FSU lost star quarterback Jake Haener, its top three receivers and 1,400-yard rusher Jordan Mims from last year. Purdue lost star QB Aidan O’Connell and its head coach. But we at least have heard of new Boilers starting QB Hudson Card from Texas. Obviously not ideal a team from the Pacific Time Zone is kicking off at noon ET, either. If you believe in karma: Mike Alstott will be in the house as the Purdue honorary captain. The Boilers can't disappoint the A-Train!

Fresno State won its final nine games of last season after starting 1-4, but QB Jake Haener is gone and so are all his skill position players at WR and RB. Purdue brings in Texas transfer Hudson Card at QB in the new era of Purdue led by new coach Ryan Walters who is going to run an air-raid offense led by offensive coordinator Graham Harrell. The key here is Purdue returning its top starting RB and WR along with four offensive linemen. Purdue money-line.
