The Hoosier Helmet Trophy is the name of the rivalry trophy between the Butler Bulldogs and the Valparaiso Crusaders.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

History

Both schools are members of the Pioneer Football League. Butler and Valparaiso first played in 1927, and have played each other in football every year since 1951.^[6] The two teams have met 76 times on the football field, with Butler currently holding a 50–26 edge in the all time series. In 2006, at the suggestion of Butler head coach Jeff Voris, the Hoosier Helmet Trophy was created to commemorate and intensify the long-standing rivalry between the two schools.^[7]

The trophy is a white football helmet with Butler's logo on one side, and Valparaiso's logo on the other; mounted on a hardwood plaque.^[8] An inscription is added to the base each year with the winner and the score of each game.^[9] Since the trophy was established in 2006, Butler leads in the trophy series, 9–3.^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]
