BLACKSBURG, Va. — Purdue makes its first road trip of the season, playing at Virginia Tech’s Lane Stadium.

Purdue and Virginia Tech are playing for the second time. The Hokies won 51-24 in 2015 at Purdue.
What to watch for
∎ Will Josh Kaltenberger play? Center was a position that was getting deep on the depth chart last week. With true freshman Jimmy Liston listed as out, that’s a promising sign that Kaltenberger is able to go. Kaltenberger started late last season after an injury to Gus Hartwig. He is listed as questionable for Virginia Tech. Kaltenberger was snapping to quarterback Hudson Card during warmups.

∎ Tight end Garrett Miller, who hasn’t played a game since the 2021 season, is listed as questionable. His return would be a big boost for the offense.
∎ After handling kickoff duties last week, Caleb Krockover is out. Julio Macias, who has been injured, made the trip.
