Series notes: Purdue and USC will meet for the first time as Big Ten foes on Saturday and for the fifth time overall. The two first met in the 1967 Rose Bowl, a 14-13 win in Pasadena, where Purdue stopped a late two-point conversion to hold on and win. Since then, the series belongs to Southern Cal. The Trojans swept a home-and-home series in 1975 and 1976 before downing Purdue in the 1998 season opener, a game in which Drew Brees made his first start for the Boilermakers.
