The Purdue Boilermakers turned the ball over four times while also turning the ball over on downs three other times on their way to a 35-20 loss at home. Purdue again had a difficult time converting in short yardage situations and Head Coach Ryan Walters was likely too aggressive in his decision making that led to two of the turnover on down instances.
Syracuse Quarterback Garrett Schrader had a career day by running the ball for 195 yards on 25 attempts and scoring four touchdowns. Schrader found it incredibly easy to beat the Boilermaker defense with his legs on read zone plays where he was able to get downfield with almost no defenders around him.
