Purdue stays in title chase with 17-9 win over Northwestern
Purdue quarterback Aidan O’Connell started his college career as a walk-on buried on the depth chart. The sixth-year quarterback threw two more touchdown passes in his final home game Saturday and Purdue’s defense forced three second-half turnovers to give the Boilermakers a 17-9 victory over Northwestern that kept their West Division title hopes intact. “You have a lot that you’re playing for, people are talking about postseason stuff and it’s not like we’re blind to it,” O’Connell said when asked about what’s at stake next week.
