WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Who doesn’t remember that magical night in Ross-Ade Stadium three years ago?

The Tyler Trent game. The stunning victory by Purdue over then-No. 2 Ohio State before a packed Ross-Ade Stadium and a national television audience. The build-up. The emotion. The satisfaction of numerous exclamation points throughout the fourth quarter – touchdowns by D.J. Knox and Rondale Moore and Markus Bailey’s pick-six – of the 49-20 victory over the Buckeyes.
