Robert Maci hoists the Old Oaken Bucket. He had three tackles and a pass breakup in his final game at Ross-Ade Stadium. The senior experienced four Bucket victories in his five years at Purdue.
Robert Marve's streak of 138 passes without an interception came to an end on this play. But what will long be remembered is Marve chasing down Indiana defensive back Greg Heban, stopping him from a sure touchdown. Marve, on one good leg, got the angle on Heban and made an outstanding cross-body tackle.
