How to Watch: Ball State at Purdue: Stream College Football Live, TV Channel

Ball State and Purdue will both open their seasons in West Lafayette, IN with each team entering new coaching eras.

Purdue kicks off their season against Ball State, in this all-Indiana showdown on early Saturday afternoon. Both of these schools have first-year head coaches, after 2024 seasons that these teams would like to improve on to say the least. Ryan Walters was let go for the Boilermakers after two seasons after going 5-19. Purdue struggled for much of the 2024 campaign, as it would like to move forward from an 1-11 year. The Boilermakers won their opener last season against Indiana State in a 49-0 blowout. The very next game, they were blown out from there, and the downward spiral began from there. Purdue would go on to drop 11 in a row to finish the season. This game against Ball State is a must win in that context, and the good news is that Purdue is the big favorite with a -17.5 line in their favor.

It will be head coach Barry Odom’s job to do that, as he comes over from UNLV spending the last two season with the Rebels. In his first season in Las Vegas, Odom won the Mountain West coach of the year after going 9-5 with a bowl appearance. Last season, the Rebels improved to 10-3 under Odom. UNLV would go on to beat Cal, and the first two years under Odom was successful with the school going 5-7 in 2022. Odom was a former linebacker for Missouri in the 1990s, and he had the chance to coach his alma mater from 2016-2019. This is Odom’s third head coaching gig.

Ball State also won its first game of the season last year against Missouri State, but then went on to lose four in a row. The Cardinals would lose its last four games of the season to finish 3-9 as longtime head coach Mike Neu was let go. In comes Mike Uremovich who spent the last three seasons coaching at Butler. Uremovich is coming off his best season in 2024 when the Bulldogs finished 9-3.
