In the Old Oaken Bucket game, Purdue made a series of mistakes, including jumping offside on a punt, allowing Indiana to extend drives and take a lead. However, Purdue staged a comeback, with a 35-31 victory. Hudson Card played a pivotal role, throwing for 275 yards and 3 TDs and rushing for a TD. The game saw a 17-point fourth-quarter surge by Purdue, marking their fifth win in the last six games against Indiana. The victory sealed the fate of Indiana coach Tom Allen, who was dismissed after the game. The dismissal was followed by a financial settlement of $15.5 million, payable in two equal installments.

The Big Ten is hard and about to become a monster, but NIL and the transfer portal make it easier than ever for a new coach to turn around a program. This is where IU finds itself. Hire the right guy, and #iufb takes off. https://t.co/jheeZz2RmR
