No. 23 Illinois stops Purdue's OT 2-point conversion attempt for 50-49 win

Linebacker Dylan Rosiek sacked Ryan Browne on a 2-point conversion attempt in overtime to lift No. 23 Illinois to a 50-49 Big Ten victory over Purdue on Saturday afternoon in Champaign, Ill. Illinois (5-1, 2-1) squandered a 24-point second-half lead as Purdue (1-5, 0-3) took its first lead with 46 seconds to play, but the Illini forced overtime on David Olano's 38-yard field goal as time expired. Once in overtime, Luke Altmyer hit Patrick Bryant for a 25-yard score on Illinois' first play and Olano booted the extra point. Purdue scored on its second play -- Arhmad Branch jogging in from 3 yards out on an end-around -- and Boilermakers head coach Ryan Walters called a timeout to set up the 2-point try.
