WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) David Blough threw four touchdown passes and ran for a score, and cornerback Anthony Brown intercepted three passes, leading Purdue to a 55-45 victory against Nebraska on Saturday.
The victory snapped the Boilermakers' nine-game Big Ten Conference losing streak and gave third-year coach Darrell Hazell his first conference victory in Ross-Ade Stadium after losing his first nine league home games.
Purdue (2-6, 1-3) improved to 6-26, 2-18 in the Big Ten under Hazell. It is the Boilermakers' first Big Ten victory since winning at Illinois last October.
