Purdue had lots to celebrate after winning the Old Oaken Bucket in a Saturday victory over Indiana and made sure to include superfan Tyler Trent in the festivities.
Trent joined the team in the locker room after the game to listen to coach Jeff Brohm's speech and to sing the school's fight song "Hail Purdue!" with them. The team was in a particularly good mood because Saturday's win made it bowl eligible.
Purdue beat in-state rival Indiana 28–21 thanks to running back Markell Jones's 32-yard touchdown run with 3:48 left on the clock. It looked like the Boilermakers had the win in the bag after safety Navon Mosley picked off Peyton Ramsey about twenty seconds later, but the Hoosiers scored a touchdown on their next possession.
