Kurtis Rourke - The Canadian PressBLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- — Kurtis Rourke threw two of his record-tying six touchdown passes to Elijah Sarratt , Justice Ellison and Ty Son Lawton each ran for scores and No. 10 Indiana routed rival Purdue 66-0 to reclaim the Old Oaken Bucket and now must wait to find out its College Football Playoff fate.
The only blemish: Indiana was eliminated from the Big Ten championship game when No. 4 Penn State beat Maryland 44-7 earlier Saturday.The Boilermakers lost their last 11 games, suffered three shutouts and six losses of 35 or more points, including Saturday's — the most lopsided loss in Purdue history, breaking the 66-7 mark set earlier this season.
The cold, snowy conditions that forced field crew members to use leaf blowers to clear the hash marks and yard lines during the first half only made the sting of this loss worse.
