It was a TD after all.

Jared Sparks was thrown a pass from QB David Blough — who had a monster day against Missouri in Week 3 — in the fourth quarter when Purdue trailed 37-34. Sparks appeared to catch the ball in the end zone, obviously resulting in a TD.

The play then got reviewed and overturned. Sparks didn’t get the TD. Purdue had to settle for a field goal, which tied the game at 34.

Missouri then drove down the field to win the game on a kick, 37-34. On Thursday, five days after the game concluded, Purdue coach Jeff Brohm was told that Sparks should have indeed scored a TD on that play.

Big Ten officials confirmed that the TD should have stood as such.

Well, it’s a bit late now.

Here’s the play:

Purdue is currently 0-3 on the season, losing each of its games by a combined 8 points.
