Previously Jeff Brohm was touted as a savior of Purdue football. He took the Boilermakers to consecutive bowl games in 2017-18. But when the Louisville job opened up, Brohm was thought to be out the door. After all, Brohm is a Louisville native and played for the Cardinals. Yet he stayed at Purdue and was rewarded with a massive new contract. But in the fickle nature of fandom, Brohm is catching heat for what fans believe is slow progress. This year’s NCAA Football betting results are mixed. And a tough game at Iowa won’t make matters easier.
