Purdue's Charlie Jones returns to Big Ten Championship in different role

WEST LAFAYETTE - While this week will be a new experience for the Purdue football team, it is not for the Boilermakers' star receiver.

Charlie Jones was here one year ago, competing in the Big Ten Championship with the Iowa Hawkeyes, against the same Michigan Wolverines.

Jones returns to Lucas Oil Stadium in a much different role, however.

The transfer from Iowa had four catches for 143 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 30-16 win over Indiana, securing the Big Ten West division championship for Purdue and punching the Boilers ticket to the Big Ten title game for the first time.
