Purdue defense shows strength again, until tiring late in loss

Through two-and-a-half quarters on Saturday evening, Purdue’s defense had matched Michigan’s, perhaps exceeded it. “We did a good job getting in there more,” Coach Jeff Brohm said, noting Purdue’s four sacks and eight tackles for loss. The Boilermakers, however, were outstanding early, limiting Michigan to only seven first-half points and 131 yards.
