What those in the opposing locker room said:
Purdue coach Jeff Brohm on third-string quarterback Aidan O'Connell: "I'm very proud of Aidan because he's come in here and worked his tail off to get ready to play. I think playing last week helped him get a little rust off and some nerves out of him. I think he was relaxed when he came in. He made some big plays and big throws. And he executed the offense."
Brohm on Purdue's defense: "I think early on, even though they had a couple of big plays, our defense kept us in the ballgame.
