Seventh-ranked Minnesota (10-1, 6-1 B1G) won its sixth dual in a row with a 35-6 blowout of No. 28 Purdue (9-5, 2-4) Sunday afternoon at Maturi Pavilion.
The Golden Gophers prevailed in eight of the 10 matches and posted six bonus-point victories in front of a home crowd that featured reigning UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who had Minnesota heavyweight Gable Steveson in his most recent fight camp.
Minnesota defeated the Boilermakers for the third year in a row and 15th time in the last 16 matchups. Minnesota is now 22-2-2 at home against Purdue all-time, its best winning percentage against any school it’s hosted at least five times. In addition, it marked the seventh straight win at home over the Boilermakers, the Gophers’ longest active home win streak against a Big Ten opponent.
