Marshall defeats Purdue 41-31

Purdue falls apart in the fourth quarter.

It's hard to win a football game when you give up two pick sixes, but Purdue looked like they would do just that for a long time today. In the fourth quarter Purdue was up 31-27 with the ball. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be. As Purdue has so often done, they found a way to lose a game that they should have won. The Purdue defense looked stout for much of the game but just couldn't keep it up late in the fourth as they allowed Marshall to more or less walk down the field for the go ahead touchdown.
