The 2024 Purdue Boilermakers football team represented Purdue University as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Boilermakers were led by second-year head coach Ryan Walters. Purdue played home games at RossâÂÂAde Stadium located in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Despite a 49âÂÂ0 win over Indiana State to start the season strong, the Boilermakers sputtered down the line, losing every single game after that. Purdue finished with a 1âÂÂ11 record and a winless record in conference play, both for the first time since 2013. This includes the worst home loss in program history, a 66-7 loss to Notre Dame. On December 1, following a 66âÂÂ0 loss to Indiana to end the season, Walters was fired as the Boilermakers head coach. The Boilermakers went 5âÂÂ19 under Walters including a Big Ten record of 3âÂÂ15.
