Indiana Football Defeats Purdue 66-0

In a historic matchup, No. 10 Indiana decisively defeated rival Purdue 66-0, reclaiming the Old Oaken Bucket and marking a school-record 11th win of the season. Quarterback Kurtis Rourke tied a record with six touchdown passes, two of which were caught by Elijah Sarratt, while Justice Ellison and Ty Son Lawton also contributed rushing touchdowns. Indiana's victory was its largest over Purdue in their long history, overshadowing previous records and marking Purdue's most lopsided loss ever. Despite the triumph, Indiana's hopes for the Big Ten championship were dashed when Penn State's win over Maryland eliminated them from contention. Meanwhile, Purdue finished the season with a dismal record of 1-11, suffering through multiple shutouts and a winless conference record. The game was played under snowy conditions, adding to the challenges faced by the Boilermakers during their tough season.
