For the third straight year there will be a new head coach leading a program in the IU and Purdue football rivalry. Ryan Walters was fired by Purdue Sunday after just two seasons, ending his tenure in West Lafayette with a 5-19 record.  The Boilermakers went 1-11 in 2024, finishing with 11 consecutive losses and no FBS wins. If Purdue was uncertain about Walters’ status going into the IU game, the outcome on Saturday in Bloomington left no doubt.  The Boilermakers’ season ended with a 66-0 loss at Indiana, the worst loss in the history of the program. Walters acknowledged…

There have been many battles for the Old Oaken Bucket when the stakes really weren’t that high for IU. But what’s on the line on a snowy Saturday evening in Bloomington? A spot in the College Football Playoff, the first 11 win season in program history, and of course, a chance to bring the Bucket home — all in the first ever night game in the history of the rivalry with Purdue.

Indiana is ranked No. 36 in the nation out of 133 teams in sacks allowed. So on the surface, pressure on the quarterback doesn’t seem like a major issue for the 10-1 Hoosiers. But the last two games have looked nothing like the first nine. IU has allowed 16 sacks on the season, a manageable 1.46 per game.  But upon closer examination, nine of those sixteen sacks have come in Indiana’s last two outings, a not survivable 4.5 per contest.  Before Indiana hosted Michigan, games would come and go, and it hardly felt as though Kurtis Rourke was getting pressured,…
