Purdue Superfan Tyler Trent Celebrates With Team After Predicting Win Over Ohio State

Purdue superfan Tyler Trent celebrated the Boilermakers' 49-20 win over No. 2 Ohio State with the team after predicting they would topple the Buckeyes.

Trent, a Purdue student who had to pull out of school as his battle with bone cancer intensified, made his prediction in an ESPN feature that debuted on Saturday morning.

"I knew we had a chance, but I didn't think it would be [49–20.] That's for sure," Trent later told ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi.

After the game, the team presented Trent with the game ball.

"Thanks for leaving your heart out on the field and showing the nation what being a Boilermaker is all about," Trent said in the locker room.
