Head To Head

  • This is the first meeting between LSU & Purdue

LSU Form

LSU will look to finish Brian Kelly’s first season head coach with a bowl game win.

Kelly made a disappointing start to his reign as the Tigers lost the season-opener against Florida State.

They rebounded to win four of the next five though, and then went on a five-game win streak.

The Tigers bounced back from a 40-13 defeat to #4 Tennessee with a 45-35 success against Florida.

LSU then upset #7 Ole Miss 45-20 and #6 Alabama 32-31 to storm into the top 25, where they stayed for the remainder of the season.

They beat Arkansas 13-10 and UAB 41-10 before dropping their regular season finale at Texas A&M, 38-23.

The Tigers then fell to a 50-30 defeat to defending national champions Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.

Purdue Form

Purdue are aiming to knock off one more ranked team in their final game of the season.

The Boilermakers made a slow start to the season as they lost two of their first three games.

A four-game win streak that included a 20-10 win at #21 Minnesota steadied the ship, but their form dipped at the end of October.

Purdue lost 35-24 at Wisconsin before suffering a 24-3 defeat when they hosted Iowa.

The Boilermakers stopped the rot with a 31-24 win at #21 Illinois, sparking a three-game win streak to end the regular season.

They backed up that victory with a 17-9 home win against Northwestern and a 30-16 victory at Indiana.

Purdue were unable to make it four-in-a-row though, losing 43-22 to #2 Michigan in the Big Ten Championship Game.
