BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana football team hosts Purdue this Saturday in the battle for the Old Oaken Bucket. Kickoff is set for noon ET on ESPN2.
Each week we will compile five quotes and storylines recapping the previous game and previewing the upcoming one.
Tom Allen
"Once again, just like last year, it comes down to playing for the bucket and playing for an opportunity to go to a bowl game. A lot is on the line and our players understand that, so we had a great start to the week and very much looking forward to the schedule we have."

J-Shun Harris II
"We felt like we left a lot out there on the field last year and they took advantage of it, and this year it's a similar scenario with both teams fighting for a bowl game and fighting for the bucket. We're very excited and wouldn't want it any other way."
Wes Martin
"It's a huge week. A lot of history and tradition goes into this week. It's always fun to teach the young guys what this week is about and the added intensity you have to bring."

Jacob Robinson
"I was itching to get back and was doing a lot of work those weeks that I was gone. To finish out this year and help this team win, it feels really good. I'm ready to go back out on Saturday."
Luke Timian
"A lot of different guys have stepped up. So, at times, that makes us difficult to guard. I think that this offense really runs through guys making competitive plays. Whenever we're making plays down the field, it opens up the run game and makes us a pretty good offense."
