Time is running out on Purdue's postseason hopes.
The Boilermakers (4-5) host Ohio State on Saturday knowing they need to win two of their final three games to become bowl-eligible. Purdue's players and coaches say they understand the situation.
The Boilermakers have been successful at home, where they are 4-1 this season.
The players say they are embarrassed after a 62-17 loss to Wisconsin last Saturday.
Purdue faces a much different Buckeyes team than the one that was struggling a month ago with several players suspended. Ohio State has won three straight on the strength of its running game and its defense.
