Minnesota Football: Gophers fall to Purdue 20-10 on homecoming

Aiden O’Connell led Purdue to a go-ahead 4th quarter score before the Devin Mockobee put the game away for the Boilermakers as they beat Minnesota 20-10 on the Gopher’s homecoming.

Not every win is going to be pretty, and the Boilermakers managed to win ugly this afternoon. A game where both teams made mistakes and missed opportunities, especially in the first half when the two teams combined for 5 turnovers. But Purdue executed in the 4th quarter to pull away and get a win at Minnesota for the first time since 2007.

The two teams combined for critical penalties, dropped passes, a missed field goal, four interceptions and a fumble in the first two quarters.
