WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The offense finds the end zone for the first time Saturday.
A promising Purdue drive came to a sudden halt after running back Devin Mockobee coughed the ball up deep in Illinois territory.
That fumble then led to a five play, 80-yard Illinois drive — highlighted by a 49-yard catch and run by Isaiah Williams — ending in a Josh McCray seven-yard touchdown run.
Just @IlliniFootball going McCrazy for @goatmccray5's TD.
