Indiana dominated in-state rival Purdue 56-3 at Ross-Ade Stadium, scoring eight touchdowns while holding the Boilermakers to just a field goal. The Hoosiers' rushing attack was unstoppable with four ground touchdowns, including Roman Hemby's explosive 82-yard score in the second quarter. Fernando Mendoza led the passing attack with three touchdown throws, capping a complete performance that saw Indiana score in every quarter of the lopsided Old Oaken Bucket victory.
