Quick Question: When was the last time Purdue defeated a Power Five Conference team during the non-conference portion of the schedule? You have to go all the way back to 2007, when the Boilers beat perhaps the worst Notre Dame team of all time. The last time it beat a Power 5 conference team that actually finished with a winning record is even worse. Unless you count the 2002 Sun Bowl win over Washington to the Alamo Bowl wins you have to go back to Notre Dame in 1997. For a non-Notre Dame type win in the regular season you have to go back to September 29, 1979, when Purdue beat Oregon at Ross-Ade Stadium.
