Good morning, Lafayette.
🏈 Sports
A video recap has captured the standout plays from the week three rivalry game between McCutcheon and Lafayette Jeff — highlighting key moments that showed each team’s strong performance.
The summary offers local fans a clear look at the competitive matchup.
Purdue won 34-17 over Southern Illinois with Devin Mockobee running for over 100 yards and scoring twice.
Purdue’s coach (Barry Odom) led a team that fixed its early play as the Boilers get ready to face USC.
Barry Odom, Purdue's first-year football coach, began his season with wins over Ball State and Southern Illinois and is the first rookie to start 2-0 since 1916; he will face USC next week to try to extend his record.
Former Purdue running back Reggie Love III now serves as an assistant coach for the Lafayette Jeff Bronchos and a physical education teacher at Tecumseh Middle School—he wears his cleats during practice to motivate his players.
He joined the coaching staff after his season at Purdue and is keeping open the possibility of playing professionally while boosting the team's competitive spirit.
Marc Nave Jr.—a redshirt freshman transfer from Kentucky—will be available to support Purdue's offensive line in the 7:30 p.m. game against Southern Illinois after missing the season opener at Ball State due to injury.
