Rankings from AP Poll

The 2022 Purdue Boilermakers football team represented Purdue University in the West Division of the Big Ten Conference for the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Jeff Brohm was in his sixth and final season as the team's head coach before going to Louisville. Brohm announced his resignation on December 7, 2022. Thus making Brian Brohm, Jeff’s younger brother, the interim head coach for Purdue’s game against LSU at the Citrus Bowl which Purdue was granted a bid from representing the Big Ten West, thanks to an 8-4 season finishing at 6-3 in Big Ten play which placed them at the top of their division, in the Big Ten Championship Game for the first time in school history against Michigan, where they lost. In the Citrus Bowl, Purdue lost that game 63-7 with the absence of 4 players including starting quarterback, Aidan O’Connell, and star wide receiver, Charlie Jones. After the bowl, on December 13, 2022, the school named former Illinois defensive coordinator Ryan Walters the team's new head coach. [1] Walters will be the fourth youngest head football coach at the NCAA Division I FBS level. [2] The Boilermakers played their home games at Ross–Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana.
