    How do they give up a school-record 62 points last weekend at Wisconsin and turnaround and beat Ohio State!? Kudos to Danny Hope, who needed this. Now, with one more win, Purdue will be bowl eligible for the first time since 2007. And Northwestern needs just one more win to be bowl eligible. if both make it, the Big Ten will have 10 bowl eligible teams, which would tie the league record set in 2007.
