Purdue drops intense hype trailer ahead of Top 25 showdown vs. Ohio State
Can it happen again?
Purdue is entering Week 11 of the college football season with the hope it can do the unthinkable for a third time this season — take down a Top 5 opponent. The Boilermakers have already pummeled Iowa and Michigan State and will head into Columbus to take on No. 4 Ohio State this weekend.
After Purdue’s win over Michigan State and clinging to a 6-3 record, Jeff Brohm’s team cracked the College Football Playoff Top 25 for the first time ever. The Boilers will enter this weekend’s matchup ranked No. 19.
On Friday, Purdue released a hype video for the Saturday showdown in Columbus. It will have fans fired up for the contest:

Purdue and Ohio State have played 57 times will Ohio State leading the all-time series 39-15-2. However, the Boilermakers won the last meeting — a 49-20 decision in West Lafayette in 2018. That outcome ended the Buckeyes’ hopes of the national title.
It’s also been quite some time since the Boilers have won a game in Columbus, with the last victory coming in 1988.
