On the way into work today I was curious about Purdue’s non-conference record in recent seasons against Power 5 Teams. It is not good (not that our record against anyone outside of the FCS has been good).
Here is how Purdue has done against teams from the ACC, SEC, Pac-12, Big 12, and Notre Dame in the last 12 years:
9/19/2015 vs. Virginia Tech L 51-24
9/13/2014 vs. Notre Dame (Lucas Oil Stadium) L 30-14
9/14/2013 vs. Notre Dame L 31-24
1/1/2013 vs. Oklahoma State (Heart of Dallas Bowl) L 58-14
9/8/2012 at Notre Dame L 20-17
10/1/2011 vs.
