BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Each time Jason Spriggs looks at the Old Oaken Bucket, he figures it's in its rightful place.
Indiana's massive left tackle wants it go on permanent display in Bloomington. The Hoosiers can take a giant step toward making that a reality Saturday - if they can win at Purdue.
''We take it as our Bucket,'' Spriggs said. ''It pains us every time that thing leaves. Hopefully, it doesn't leave. We don't want to see it out of the stadium.''
Purdue has held the trophy more often. Of the 117 games played in this series, Purdue has won 72, including a record 10 straight from 1948-57.
