Purdue is in rare territory. It has not gotten a 7th regular season win since 2007. It hasn’t won eight games in a regular season since 2006, and the door to a nine win season (assuming we win the bowl game) would break an 18 year drought dating back to 2003. It is not a season for the ages, but it is still a deeply satisfying one unlike we have experienced in quite some time.
That we can win eight games, and, in fact, should win eight games, feels fantastic. It is something pretty much every Purdue fan would have taken before the season.
