Purdue 38, #16 Iowa 36: On the Brink of a Bowl

Three ranked teams have walked into Ross-Ade Stadium this season.

Three ranked teams have left with a loss.

That is pretty crazy to think about, especially when Purdue started the season 0-3 at home against unranked teams. Also, Purdue had not beaten a ranked team since 2011 before this season, it was 0-18 in its previous 18 games against ranked teams, and its three previous wins over ranked teams were over #23 Illinois in 2011, #7 Ohio State in 2009, and #10 Iowa in 2003.

That’s just incredible to think about. Our Boilers are killers of ranked teams this year at home.
