Purdue Boilermakers:
Purdue enters into their first B1G Championship Game with a 2 game winning streak and ending the season with their first back to back 8 win regular season since Joe Tiller’s first two seasons in West Lafayette in 1997 and 1998. In fact, if Purdue can get a win in the B1G Championship Game or in their bowl game, it would mark just the 4th time in program history with back to back 9 win seasons (1997 & 1998; 1979 & 1980; 1978 & 1979).
The Boilers are led by 6th year senior QB Aidan O’Connell who has thrown for 3,124 yards with 22 touchdowns and 11 interceptions (missed one game due to injury).
