Since 1894 only Iowa, Northwestern , Michigan and Wisconsin have played Minnesota more often than Purdue. The Gophers have 37 wins while the Boilermakers have won 32 with, 3 ties thrown into the 72 total matchups. But it’s more than just wins and losses right?
Here are a couple of things that stand out to me.
Sure Minnesota wins categories like National Championships 6 to Purdue’s 0, but all time win/loss record and conference championships are similar. Purdue having 12 more NFL draft picks is an interesting, if meaningless, stat.
