Purdue Boilermakers

The Purdue Boilermakers play Big Ten football at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana, a program steeped in engineering-school pride and a century-plus rivalry with in-state foe Indiana for the Old Oaken Bucket. The Boilermakers have produced a string of standout quarterbacks and NFL talent despite playing in one of the sport's toughest conferences.

Purdue's football program dates to 1887. The Boilermakers' 1931 team was retroactively named national champion by one historical selector, though the NCAA does not recognize the claim, and Purdue has never won an NCAA-recognized national title. The program has won 12 conference championships, including a share of the 1943 Big Ten title, and reached the Big Ten Championship Game and Rose Bowl following the 2022 season.
