‘Maple Missile’ and ‘Waffle House’ Set Records in IU’s 66-0 Rout Over Purdue

Written By: Ben Gillard (@benjgillard)

The Bucket is home, and there is only one way to celebrate: a Waffle House dinner with plenty of Maple Missile Syrup. The Hoosiers got their first win over Purdue since 2019 in emphatic fashion on Saturday, hanging 66 points on the Boilermakers. With this win, Indiana was able to both reclaim The Old Oaken Bucket and add some much-needed style points to their CFP resume. This was in large part thanks to the superb connection between Kurtis Rourke and Elijah Sarratt.

IU’s playoff fate is unclear but losses by Ole Miss, Alabama and Texas A&M appear to have the Hoosiers in a great spot to make the 12-team field. Of course, they must comfortably take care of rival Purdue before worrying about any of that. Indiana has not won the Old Oaken Bucket since 2019 and the Boilermakers enter this contest winless in the Big Ten.
