Purdue isn’t afraid of a Heisman Trophy winner.
It looked like Louisville would take an early 7-0 against Purdue. After all, the Cardinals needed just over a yard and have Lamar Jackson under center. But the Boilermakers brought stuffed Louisville at the goal line, forced a fumble and got the ball into good field position.
