Purdue had not won a road game against a non-Power 5 team since winning at Toledo to start the 2007 season. That was so long ago Joe Tiller was still coaching. We saw a litany of losses to non-power 5 programs in that time to Rice, Cincinnati, Marshall, and Nevada, but that streak is now over.
Getting a comfortable road win is always good. Getting a road shutout is rare, as Purdue had not done that in 40 years. I know it is UConn, and because of that we can only take so much from this win, but we’re Purdue fans.
