Purdue winning this game would be a monumental step forward for the program. A 10-win season? A Big Ten Championship? New Year’s Day in Pasadena? A win (plus the eventual winner of Minnesota-Wisconsin losing outside of that game) opens the door for all of that.
Of course, this sis still Ohio State. they re national championship contenders for a reason, and even if all goes well, there would very likely be a rematch in three weeks in Indianapolis where we would have to beat them again. They have won 28 consecutive games against Big Ten competition for a reason.
