Game Notes

Boilermakers escape with a 19-14 win over the Bearcats.

Purdue is able to dodge the upset bid when Cincinnati makes a substitution penalty negating a 1st-and-goal in the final minute. The Boilermakers then seal the win with an interception.

The defending Big 10 champs struggle replacing Drew Brees, but get a solid performance by Joey Harris, who rushes for 79 yards and 1 TD on 7 carries. His 16-yard TD run gives Purdue a 19-7 lead before Adam Hoover hits LaDaris Vann with a 17-yard TD pass in the 3rd quarter, giving the Bearcats hopes of an upset.
