The last two seasons have been all about bowl eligibility with the Old Oaken Bucket game. In each of the last two seasons both teams have entered with a 5-6 record, but Purdue has prevailed to earn the postseason berth by a touchdown. In 2017 that was great. The Boilers rode the surprise bowl bid to a win in the Foster Farms Bowl over Arizona. The less said about last year’s bowl game, the better. In 2015 and 2016 Purdue was far from bowl eligibility, but Indiana won both to head to the postseason in consecutive seasons for the first time since the early 90s.
