Purdue football is set to play a pair of Friday night games this fall after the FOX College Football Friday slate was announced on Tuesday afternoon.

The Boilermakers will first welcome Big Ten newcomer Oregon to town on Friday, October 18th in what will be their first matchup since the 2009 campaign. The next is a roadtrip to East Lansing to take on Michigan State on Friday, November 22nd. Both matchups are set for 8:00 p.m. ET kickoffs and will be nationally televised on Fox.
