However, Maryland’s lead would not last long. Purdue would retake the lead with a 4-minute scoring drive of their own.

The Purdue drive was capped off by a 4-yard TD pass to Payne Durham. Purdue nailed the extra point to take a 24-23 lead with just over 3 minutes left in regulation.
Maryland would quickly go 3-and-out and punt the ball back to Purdue. Purdue decided they needed some insurance, and they got it with Devin Mockobee.
