Northwestern Defeats Purdue 26-20 in Overtime
In an eventful Big Ten matchup, Purdue University suffered a 26-20 overtime loss to Northwestern, marking their seventh consecutive defeat. Purdue coach Ryan Walters made a controversial decision to go for a first down instead of attempting a go-ahead field goal in overtime, which resulted in a failed conversion attempt. Northwestern capitalized on this with a 22-yard touchdown pass from Jack Lausch to Joseph Himon II, who was instrumental in the victory with two touchdowns. The Wildcats ended a two-game losing streak with this win, while Purdue continues to struggle with a 1-7 record. Walters defended his decision post-game, explaining that he believed the probability of converting the fourth down was higher than successfully kicking the field goal. Northwestern's win brings them closer to bowl eligibility, although their remaining schedule poses significant challenges.
