Today was all about heart for Purdue. For five weeks they had gotten off to solid starts only to fade in the end. Today they got off to the best start possible, as Markus Bailey had an early interception hat set up a Markell Jones touchdown inside the first minute of the game. Purdue led 7-0 before many had even settled into their seats. What followed was a gritty contest between a mediocre Indiana team that often played to its level of competition and a Purdue team that was short on talent in 10 of 12 games this season.
