The 2018 Purdue Boilermakers football team represented Purdue University during the 2018 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Boilermakers played their home games at Ross–Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana and competed in the West Division of the Big Ten Conference. They were led by second-year head coach Jeff Brohm.
Purdue began the year with three consecutive losses, each by less than four points, at the hands of Northwestern, Eastern Michigan, and Missouri. Their luck began to turn as they went on a four-game winning streak, which started with a victory over No. 23 Boston College and ended with an upset victory over No. 2 Ohio State, the school's first win over a top-two ranked team since 1984.[1] The Boilermakers also secured a victory over No. 19 Iowa and finished the regular season tied for second in the West Division with a conference record of 5–4. The team was invited to the Music City Bowl, where they lost to Auburn.
The Boilermakers were led on offense by quarterback David Blough, who finished in second in the conference behind Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins in passing yards (3,705), completions (305), and completion percentage (66%).[2] Freshman wide receiver and return specialist Rondale Moore was named first-team All-Big Ten at wide receiver, and was a consensus first-team All-American as a return specialist. He led the Big Ten Conference with 114 receptions, 1,258 receiving yards, and 12 receiving touchdowns.[2]
