“We’ve gotten this far let’s go ahead and go for the win.” Those are the words of Jeff Brohm regarding the decision to call the absolutely beautiful reverse from backup to the backup QB Aiden O’Connell to freshman David Bell late in the game to ultimately put Purdue in the lead and put the final points on the board. It was a beautiful play call and a gutsy one at that. As the clock wound down you could read the lips of the guys on the sidelines shouting “We’re still alive!” meaning bowl eligible. It’s amazing really that this team can find a way to win given that the injuries continue to pile up including a leg injury following a great run by Jack Plummer in the fourth quarter.
