Early Excitement

Sherrick McManis returns the ball to the Purdue 49. After a 9-yard completion, Tyrell Sutton gets his first carry in almost two months, breaking one for 13 yards down to the Purdue 27. But then C.J. Bacher's pass glances off the hands of SUPERback Brendan Mitchell and into the waiting arms of Purdue's Terrell Vinson (who made a nice play scooping it from just off the ground). No harm, no foul, though: Purdue couldn't score and had to punt.
