This was it, folks. This was the game we have been searching for the entire season. No, the game wasn’t perfect but Purdue played a nearly flawless second half to turn a 3-point nail biter into a 25-point blowout. Hudson Card played loose and spread the ball around efficiently while Purdue ran with a 3-headed monster of Tracy, Mockobee, and Downing. On the defensive side of the ball, the tone was set early by scoring a touchdown on a sack and fumble into the endzone. The defense then controlled the game and shut down the Illini offense on third down, including on its first 10 tries.
