Akeem Hunt got the fans to
their feet in the first quarter
with this 15-yard scoring
reception. The junior running
back was the Boilermakers'
best offensive weapon as a
receiver for much of the day,
leading Purdue with nine
catches for 72 yards, both
career bests for the junior.
Walk-on Collin Link
(right) came up big
defensively on a couple plays, including
Purdue's lone sack of
the day when he got
to Tommy Rees off a
delayed blitz.
When Taylor Richards helped
force a fumble in the fourth
quarter, the Boilermakers
were poised for a lastminute comeback. But the
offense was unable to move
the ball after taking over at
Purdue's 44-yard line.
Things were looking good for Purdue when B.J. Knauf hauled in this 18-yard scoring reception, breaking a
pair of tackles along the way, with 6:28 left in the third. The play gave the Boilermakers a 17-10 lead.
