Rourke throws record-tying 6 TD passes as No. 10 Indiana beats Purdue 66-0 and awaits CFP fate
Live Mint— Kurtis Rourke threw two of his record-tying six touchdown passes to Elijah Sarratt, Justice Ellison and Ty Son Lawton each ran for scores and No. 10 Indiana routed rival Purdue 66-0 to reclaim the Old Oaken Bucket and now must wait to find out its College Football Playoff fate. The Boilermakers lost their last 11 games, suffered three shutouts and six losses of 35 or more points, including Saturday's — the most lopsided loss in Purdue history, breaking the 66-7 mark set earlier this season. Purdue went winless in league play for the fourth time since 1946, failed to beat an FBS foe for just the second time in college football's modern era and was shut out by Indiana for the first time since 1945. Indiana fixed the blocking miscues that plagued it the previous two weeks and even though the Hoosiers fell just short of playing for a Big Ten title, they still could host a playoff game.
