The story of the college football season. The final, fitting story of a lifetime.
Six weeks from now, this game could mean anything in Ohio State’s race for the College Football Playoff.
On this night, it meant everything to Tyler Trent.
It had to happen this way, had to finish with fans storming the field at Ross-Ade Stadium after Purdue’s shocking 49-20 upset of No.2-ranked Ohio State—the Buckeyes' first defeat this season. Amid the madness, in a wheelchair and wrapped from head to toe in Purdue gear, was 20-year-old Trent—Purdue’s emotional armor, being treated for bone cancer and leaving hospice for a night to watch his beloved Boilermakers.
