The Boilermakers have plenty to play for, as a win over Indiana would clinch the team a spot in the B1G Championship Game against Michigan in Indianapolis.
The TD was Durham’s 8th of the season, a mark which trails only Charlie Jones who has 11. Purdue has since pushed its lead to 17-7 and is pushing for the B1G West title.
With a win in Bloomington, Purdue would finish the regular season 8-4 overall and 6-3 in the B1G.
