At one point in the second half a stat showed up on the screen stating that Purdue had lost 15 one possessions games since 2017. Of course Purdue was up by just one possession at the time so you know that every Purdue fan was slightly terrified. It’s a game we’ve seen play out far too many times to ever truly be comfortable. After changing QBs late in the third quarter the Oregon State offense came alive and was giving Purdue fits. Then entered Cory Trice.
On a 4th and 1 Oregon State tried to go for it all but Trice followed his man step for step and put his arm up to deflect the ball and watch it fall harmlessly to the turf.
