Every win is beautiful.
That’s really about all you can say about tonight’s win over Florida Atlantic. Purdue came in without its top running back, top defender, top projected receiver, and (worst of all) its quarterback who had lit up the stat sheet in the first three weeks. The Boilers would look dominant for stretches and awful for others.
In the end, a fourth down stop that resulted in a fumble recovered by Sanoussi Kane was good enough. It wasn’t pretty. The offense went in fits and spurts. The defense went in fits and spurts. In the end, it was a win and that is all you really need when you are facing the injuries Purdue has right now.
