Purdue stormed out of the locker rooms and scored less than one minute into the second half in Iowa City.
On the third play of the third quarter, quarterback Elijah Sindelar fired a deep ball to receiver Anthony Mahoungou along the sideline, trying to stretch the stingy Iowa defense. It worked to perfection as the pass hit Mahoungou in stride and the Boilermakers scored on the play.
It gave Purdue an early 14-9 in the second half.
