GoldanDBlack express • volume 25, express 2 • 32 44 minutes, the longest contest involving Purdue to be decided in regulation since Dec. 26, 2007 when Purdue and Central Michigan toiled for 3:46 in a 51-48 Boiler- maker win. The Purdue-Oregon matchup in 2008, which was decided in overtime, lasted 3:50. Last year, there was a concerted effort by NCAA officials to speed up the game. The Boilermakers played three games that lasted under three hours in '13, and for the season, the games averaged 3:10. GRIGGS MAKES HISTORY Paul Griggs had a rare feat on Satur- day, becoming just the second Boilermak- er kicker to make three field goals in a quarter, joining Carson Wiggs, who had a kicking trifecta in the sec- ond quarter of Purdue's 33-25 win on Nov. 26, 2011 at IU. In a d d i t i o n , G r i g g s also be- came just the eighth kicker in P u r d u e history to make a field goal of over 50 yards (it was the 17th overall) as his 51-yarder tied for the sixth lon- gest in school annals. He also joined Wiggs ('09 vs. Ohio State, '11 vs. Middle Tennes- see), Ben Jones ('04 at Penn State) and Chris Summers ('07 at Penn State) as the only kickers in school histo- ry to make field goals of over 50 and 40 yards in the same game.
