Illinois at Purdue Preview

The Cannon has at least been a constant in West Lafayette of late, even more so than the Old Oaken Bucket. Since 2002 Purdue has won 8 of the last 10 meetings with Illinois, losing only 44-10 in 2010 during one of the worst coached games I have ever seen and 20-16 in 2013 in one of the biggest cripplefights in Big Ten history. Seriously, 2013 was bad. Purdue would finish 1-11 as one of the worst Big Ten teams ever. Illinois entered the game on 20-game losing streak in Big Ten play, one of the longest in decades.
