Weird game. Purdue starts a game against a top-ranked opponent with Punt-Fumble-Punt-Fumble-Punt-INT-Punt ... and gets the ball back with three minutes left with a chance to win. Michigan State controlled this game, and turnovers luck should have pushed the Spartans to an easy win, but the Boilermakers crawled back. Sparty's got a dagger-dropping problem this year.
