Purdue football vs. Iowa recap: Boilermakers lose to Hawkeyes 20-14, drop to 2-4
Ryan Walters earned his first win at Ross-Ade Stadium last week, but now it's time for the Purdue football team to try to do it again on the road in Iowa.
The Boilermakers are 2-3 (1-1 Big Ten) and travel to Iowa City today to take on the Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten). Both teams are coming off victories last week.
Iowa, however, lost starting quarterback Cade McNamara to a season-ending knee injury. Deacon Hill will take over.
Sam King will have analysis throughout, and we will have scoring updates, highlights and more. Please remember to refresh.

7:58 left 3Q: Iowa adds to its lead
Purdue punted on its only possession of the second half so far. Iowa then drove down the field and Drew Stevens topped the drive off with a 23-yard field goal. It lasted 9 plays and 75 yards.
Iowa 13, Purdue 7
Derrick Rogers had a chance to pick off that pass in the end zone, which would've been huge. Instead it goes down as an incompletion. First-and-goal at the 6 turns into a FG. ... Iowa 13, Purdue 7, 7:58 to go Q3.

:32 left 2Q: Purdue's TJ Sheffield gets Boilermakers on the board
Purdue turned the tide late in the first half. After the Boilermaker defense blocked a 49-yard field attempt from Iowa, Purdue took over at its own 31-yard line.
Purdue moved the ball fairly well and got two first downs. Then Hudson Card completed a 43-yard touchdown pass to TJ Sheffield to get the Boilermakers back into this one before halftime.
Iowa 10, Purdue 7
A HUGE TD late in the first half for @BoilerFootball. #BigTenSaturday pic.twitter.com/GBrI0gNWOP

Iowa 10, Purdue 7 - TJ Sheffield 43 pass from Hudson Card. ... Card kept play alive with his legs (which I've criticized him for doing earlier and holding to ball too long). Hits Sheffield for a short gain. Yaseen with a good downfield block spurs Sheffield's first TD of season.

14:57 left 2Q: Iowa tacks on field goal
The Hawkeyes started at the Purdue 5-yard line, but a high snap over the Iowa QB's head moved them back a little. Drew Stevens ended up hitting a 27-yard field goal to extend the lead.
Iowa 10, Purdue 0
Iowa 10, Purdue 0. ... Boilers fortunate for a high snap on second-and-goal at the 3. Iowa has 83 yards (67 on one play) and leads by two scores with three quarters to go.

1:53 left 1Q: Hudson Card throws interception
On their own 38-yard line, Purdue quarterback Hudson Card missed a receiver and instead found an Iowa defensive back. The ball was returned to the Boilermaker 5.
Hudson Card keeps trying to pick on Cooper DeJean. And it bites Purdue. DeJean picks him off and returns it to the 4.

3:03 left 1Q: Purdue misses field goal
After the interception, Purdue took over at the Iowa 35. The ball got moved up even more when the Hawkeyes were called pass interference. The Boilermakers had 1st and 10 on the 20-yard line but couldn't get any points out of it. An intentional grounding penalty by Hudson Card moved the ball back to the 24. Kicker Julio Macias then missed a 41-yard attempt.
And Macias' FG goes wide left. Purdue now has driven to Iowa's 30, 37 and 14 and has zero points.

4:40 left 1Q: Purdue defense forces turnover
Dillon Thieneman picked off a pass, which marked his third interception of the season. Purdue is in Iowa territory.
A DOINK INT!@HawkeyeFootball | #BigTenSaturday pic.twitter.com/eMpECVGDox
— NBC Sports (@NBCSports) October 7, 2023
Ball ricochets right to Dillon Thieneman, who gets his third interception of the season and returns it to the Iowa 35. Purdue has to capitalize now. Third time Purdue has been this close to the end zone and as of now has no points to show for it.

10:15 left 1Q: Iowa strikes first with long TD run
Purdue's first drive ended in a punt. The next possession, Iowa only needed two plays to get in the end zone. First, quarterback Deacon Hill completed a 13-yard pass to Kaleb Johnson. Second, Johnson broke free for a 67-yard touchdown run. He was untouched the whole way.

That was a massive hole for Kaleb Johnson. Easy to get into second level and he outruns everyone for a 67-yard TD. ... Iowa 7, Purdue 0, 10:15 to go Q1.
