Indiana chases rare 3rd straight victory against Purdue (AP) — Each time Jason Spriggs looks at the Old Oaken Bucket, he figures it's in its rightful place. The Hoosiers can take a giant step toward making that a reality Saturday — if they can win at Purdue. Of the 117 games played in this series, Purdue has won 72, including a record 10 straight from 1948-57. Appleby is likely to reclaim the starting job he lost earlier this season if redshirt freshman David Blough can't go after leaving a game last weekend with a concussion. [...] Purdue has allowed a league-high 206.4 yards rushing, too. Senior quarterback Nate Sudfeld comes into the weekend as Indiana's career leader in TD passes (54), second in completion percentage (60.6), third in completions (547) and third in yards passing (7,140).
