O’Connell, Durham lead Purdue past No. 21 Illinois 31-24

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! I think the one game at a time thing is more so for us to stay focused, for energy and to realize it means nothing if you don’t win the next game.” Purdue scored on three straight drives to take a 28-21 lead on Durham’s 13-yard touchdown reception with 13:13 left, finishing a drive that was aided by three Illinois penalties. “That’s what we’ve seen the last two weeks.” Purdue also became the first team to hold Illinois star Chase Brown to fewer than 100 rushing yards this season. “We’ve gone through adversity and had two losses the last two weeks where we didn’t look really good and teams kind of after us,” Brohm said. “When you’ve got two passionate teams with everything on the line, i think you’re going to get some of that,” Purdue defensive tackle Branson Deen said.
