Since 2003, the Boilermakers have claimed the Cannon in 14 of the 18 games, including six of the last seven years. In fact, the recent run by the Gold and Black has flipped the all-time series record in Purdue’s favor: 47-45-6.
The rivalry has added juice this year, as Ryan Walters and Bret Bielema face off after coaching together in 2021 and 2022 in Champaign, Ill.
