Boilermaker Breakdown ($): Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10 | Week 11

Clearly, junior running back Markell Jones was special Saturday in Purdue’s 31-24 victory over Indiana, rushing for a career-best 217 yards on a whopping 31 carries, the most given to a Purdue back all season.

But Purdue also put Jones in a unique position to have an advantage, using a certain formation more than at any other time this season. Which one? We detail it in the Boilermaker Breakdown.

Also, did Purdue’s defense look different without middle linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley? And how much did the Boilermakers go to their nickel package against the Hoosiers’ up-tempo, spread offense?

We answer those questions plus the usual snap counts, pass chart and personnel groupings.
