Purdue pulled away in the fourth quarter to knock off No. 21 Minnesota on Saturday
Jeff Brohm hadn’t seen any of the other Big Ten scores by the time he reached Saturday’s postgame press conference inside Huntington Bank Stadium.20-10 win over previously unbeaten and No. 21 Minnesota on its home field before a sold-out crowd on Homecoming.
However, one of Minnesota’s key pieces – running back Mohamad Ibrahim – didn’t play and the Boilermakers’ defense appeared ready to shut down the vaunted ground attack with or without the Big Ten’s second-leading rusher. Brohm was 1-4 against coach P.J. Fleck and the Boilermakers were 0-6 at Huntington Bank Stadium, which opened in 2009, before Saturday.
He wasn’t sharp. He had two interceptions. He overthrew a handful of receivers but still completed 68% of his passes. But O’Connell delivered a game-changing play when he found Charlie Jones for a 28-yard gain to set up Mitchell Fineran’s go-ahead 25-yard field goal with 4:57 to play. “They called my number on the run,” said Mockobee, who lost a fumble in the second quarter. “Backside collapsed down, and I saw my hole. I’m always feeling around me. A lot of time I’m making cuts to put them out of position, so they don’t have a chance to touch me.”
