Game Highlights


The game was marked by Purdue's struggle to find their footing against a dominant Indiana team. The Boilermakers' offense was unable to break through the Hoosiers' defense, managing only 67 total yards compared to Indiana's commanding performance.

On defense, Nyland Green and Yanni Karlaftis stood out for Purdue. Green recorded two tackles and one sack for eight yards lost, showcasing his defensive capabilities. Karlaftis contributed significantly with six combined tackles and half a sack.


The offensive efforts saw limited success; quarterback Hudson Card completed six out of thirteen passes for 35 yards but also threw an interception. Ryan Browne stepped in as quarterback during the game but faced similar challenges under pressure from Indiana's defense.


Looking Ahead


Despite today’s outcome, individual performances like those of Max Klare who led receiving with five receptions for 36 yards offer glimpses of potential that could be built upon in future games.
