Purdue's star wideout shines when the lights are brightest
Purdue is coming off another Top 5 upset after beating No. 3 Michigan State 40-29 in Week 10.
Now the Boilermakers look ahead to No. 4 Ohio State. They’re going to need wideout David Bell to keep having big games if they want to continue their winning ways.
Against No. 2 Iowa earlier in the season, Bell had 11 receptions for 240 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. He had another 200-yard game against the Spartans, with 217 yards and 1 touchdown.
He also already has 1,003 yards receiving with 5 touchdowns through 9 games.
The Fox College Football account on Twitter posted the stats Thursday evening.

Purdue won the last meeting with Ohio State in 2018, 49-20. Can the Boilermakers repeat history this time in Columbus? That may be for David Bell to decide with the way the numbers are heading.
No. 4 Ohio State (8-1) and No. 19 Purdue (6-3) face off at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday on ABC.
