The Purdue Boilermakers represent one of college football's most storied programmes, competing in the Big Ten Conference from their historic home at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana. Known globally as the "Cradle of Quarterbacks", Purdue has produced legendary signal-callers including Drew Brees, Bob Griese, and Len Dawson, making them just the second university in history to produce three different Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks.
The Boilermakers hold deep cultural significance throughout Indiana and the Midwest, with their passionate fanbase creating an electric atmosphere at Ross-Ade Stadium. The programme's commitment to academic excellence perfectly embodies Purdue's engineering heritage, whilst their innovative offensive schemes have influenced modern football strategy. The bond between the university and its football alumni remains exceptionally strong, exemplified by Drew Brees returning as an assistant coach during bowl preparations.
Purdue's football heritage spans over 135 years, reaching its modern pinnacle during the Drew Brees era (1997-2000) when the Boilermakers captured their first Big Ten championship since 1967 and appeared in the 2001 Rose Bowl. Under legendary coach Joe Tiller's "basketball on grass" offence, Brees set numerous NCAA and Big Ten records whilst leading memorable upsets over top-ranked Ohio State and Michigan, cementing Purdue's reputation for quarterback excellence and offensive innovation.
