Purdue has every right to be upset with the officiating in its 34-31 loss to Minnesota.
The Boilermakers were robbed of a potential winning touchdown with 52 seconds left after an official flagged tight end Payne Durham for offensive pass interference before he caught a would-be TD pass from Jack Plummer.
Replays of the foul were inconclusive at best. There was minimal contact between Durham and his defender and the best angle produced by the Big Ten Network broadcast was from high above. You can see Durham’s right arm extend toward the defender as the two players were hand fighting and the flag is quickly thrown after that.
