For the first time since 2018, Indiana and Purdue will compete for the Old Oaken Bucket in Bloomington.

PREDICTIONS

After an Iowa loss to Nebraska on Friday, Purdue is playing for its first ever trip to the Big Ten Championship game.  Will they play tight, or will their motivation rule the day?

Indiana’s win a week ago seems to have the program rejuvenated, if only a bit, and quarterback Dexter Williams has created a new dynamic.

But this is still a team that seems to find ways to lose more often than not.
