Purdue upset by Eastern Michigan
Chad Ryland kicked the go-ahead field goal as time expired to lift the Eastern Michigan Eagles over the Purdue Boilermakers 20-19 on Saturday.
Quarterback Tyler Wiegers was 20 of 28 for 312 yards and a touchdown pass that came in the second quarter from 75 yards to Mathew Sexton to put the Eagles ahead 7-3.
Blake Banham finished with six receptions for 99 yards, and Arthur Jackson had six receptions for 84 yards for the Eagles (Mid-American Conference), who have won two straight.
The Boilermakers (0-2, 0-1 Big Ten) took a 19-17 lead after D J Knox’s 45-yard touchdown run with 6:41 remaining. Knox finished with 152 yards rushing on 21 carries and Markell Jones had 109 yards rushing on 12 carries.
Starting quarterback David Blough was 6 of 10 for 48 yards passing. Elijah Sindelar was 8 of 14 for 87 yards and a touchdown.
No. 5 Wisconsin 45, New Mexico 14: Jonathan Taylor ran for a career-high 253 yards and three touchdowns, and Wisconsin asserted its dominance after allowing a score on the game-opening drive.
A.J. Taylor had 134 yards receiving and a score to help the Badgers (2-0) win their 41st straight home nonconference game. That’s the longest active streak in the FBS.
With the Lobos (1-1) down to third-string quarterback Sheriron Jones because of injuries, the Badgers converted two turnovers into touchdowns in a 5-minute span in the third quarter.
No. 21 Michigan 49, Western Michigan 3: Shea Patterson threw three touchdown passes, one in each of the first three quarters, to help Michigan beat Western Michigan.
Patterson, the heralded transfer from Mississippi, was 12 of 17 for 125 yards. He connected for two scores to wide receivers after the position group accounted for a total of just three touchdowns last season for the Wolverines (1-1). Karan Higdon ran 140 of his 156 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter against the overmatched Broncos (0-2).
Duke 21, Northwestern 7: Daniel Jones threw for three touchdowns before leaving the game with an apparent injury, and Duke beat Northwestern. Jones passed for three TDs in the second quarter, propelling the Blue Devils (2-0) to another victory over the Wildcats (1-1) after pounding them at home last year. Jonathan Lloyd had 94 yards receiving, including a 52-yard TD catch.
