Purdue: 2025 Week 16 recap

Purdue sits at 2–10 after a 56–3 home loss to Indiana in Week 14, a result that underscores the widening gap between the Boilermakers and their Big Ten peers. The 53-point margin reflects more than a single bad day; GIE's rating of −6.1 (ranked 90th) signals fundamental structural problems on both sides of the ball. With the regular season winding down, there's little runway left to demonstrate meaningful improvement, and the trajectory suggests Purdue will need a significant reset during the offseason to compete at the conference level.
