What can we say about Purdue football? Today came without high expectations. Ohio State, a team that might be 2 weeks from winning the Big Ten and reaching the college football playoff, went to Iowa just two weeks ago and received an unmerciful beating. Purdue is a beaten up football team, missing a large number of starters on offense. It was facing a stingy defense, cold and windy weather, and its own offensive demons. If Ohio State couldn’t win in Iowa City, what chance did Purdue have?
Yet we prevailed.
We prevailed because Elijah Sindelar threw for a smart 229 yards and 3 touchdowns, most of which came with the wind at his back.
