The 2019 season has some very fun non-conference games. First, we have a trip to Nevada for one of those weird, late night west coast games. Then we host Vanderbilt, a team we haven’t played in over 75 years. Finally, we get TCU, the program that has busted through the hawse hole of the Group of Five into a Power Five conference and has more than held its own. The Horned Frogs have not played Purdue since 1970, but they have been a solid program for over a decade now. They won a Rose Bowl over Wisconsin after the 2010 season and won 11 games as recently as 2017.
