Purdue hosted the Northwestern Wildcats on Senior Day and did not look sharp. Fortunately for the Boilermakers, Northwestern showed their lack of playmakers and couldn’t muster more than 2 scoring drives. Despite decent numbers for Aiden O’Connell, he had a rough time putting the ball on target, missing several open receivers. On defense, the Boilermakers did their jobs against a Northwestern offense that is simply lacking talent. This game should not have been this close, as another unsportsmanlike penalty took a touchdown off the board when Purdue looked to go up 21-3. But as the great Dom Toretto once said, “winning is winning”.
