Written by: TJ Inman

The Indiana Hoosiers and Purdue Boilermakers both entered today’s game in West Lafayette at 3-8, knowing they would not be going to a bowl game and knowing the season would end after today’s contest.

There were plenty of mistakes and the reasons for IU and Purdue being 3-8 this season were on full display but the two sides battled all afternoon in a tightly-contested game.
