VIDEO: Purdue Defeates Western Michigan in the Little Ceasar’s Pizza Bowl
In what will go down as one of the wildest bowl games played this year, the Purdue Boilermakers defeated Western Michigan, 37-32, in the Little Ceasar’s Pizza Bowl.

Purdue Releases Statement: Marve Cleared
After some huffing and puffing (including from myself), it appears that the allegations against Robert Marve’s involvement with a booster from the University of Miami may mean nothing to his current eligibility with Purdue.
