The Hoosier Helmet Trophy is the name of the rivalry trophy between the Butler Bulldogs and the Valparaiso Crusaders.[1][2][3][4][5] 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 75 times on the football field, with Butler currently holding a 50–25 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, 9–2.[10][11][12][13]
