Purdue stays alive in Big Ten West by beating Northwestern
Purdue stayed in the hunt for the Big Ten's West Division crown with a 17-9 victory over visiting Northwestern Saturday afternoon in West Lafayette, Ind.
Quarterback Aidan O'Connell threw for 159 yards and 2 touchdowns in his final home game for Purdue (7-4, 5-3 Big Ten), which must defeat Indiana in next week's regular-season finale and hope for Iowa to lose one of its final two games in order to reach the Big Ten champ
