Soon the FCS home games will be gone. The days of paying a lower division foe to come in, receive a beating, and get a big check will be over once the Big Ten goes to a nine-game schedule. Purdue only has one such opponent left after this year, and that is next season against Eastern Kentucky. Despite recent struggles, the Boilers have done their jobs, too:
1990 - Indiana State - W 41-13
2002 - Illinois State - W 51-10
2006 - Indiana State - W 60-35
2007 - Eastern Illinois - W 52-6
2008 - Northern Colorado - W 42-10
2010 - Western Illinois - W 31-21
2011 - SE Missouri State - W 59-0
2012 - Eastern Kentucky - W 48-6
2013 - Indiana State - W 20-14
2014 - Southern Illinois - W 35-13
That is a perfect 10-0 against the lower division, as it should be.
