5. Indiana wins the Old Oaken Bucket seven times

The Hoosiers were able to bring home the Old Oaken Bucket this year after an instant classic. Indiana was able to pull off the win in the second overtime after blowing a 28-10 win. It was the first time in three years the Hoosiers came home with the historic trophy.

It is the beginning of a trend for the Hoosiers. Purdue will be tough to beat as rivalry games are always tough to win, but Indiana is going to tack control of this series and take home the trophy seven times this next decade.

Jeff Brohm is doing a great job with the Boilermakers, but the Hoosiers are doing just a little bit better and it will pay off on the field.

Indiana is not going to be a one year wonder and they are going to build off their strong 2019 and start winning the recruiting battles over Purdue in the state of Indiana. Tom Allen is also going to continue to get kids from Florida and it will pay off in this series.

Indiana will be the best team in the state outside of Notre Dame and will get real used to taking home the Old Oaken Bucket.
