The Boilermakers had to rally for the 38-35 victory after the Wildcats scored a touchdown with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Purdue quarterback Elijah Sindelar tossed a 38-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Anthony Mahoungou, who hauled in the throw despite having a defender draped over him.
Mahoungou’s big play with 1:44 to go capped one of the best matchups this bowl season.
