Purdue beats Iowa 24-15 for 1st Big 10 road win

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- First-year coach Jeff Brohm has Purdue's rebuild ahead of schedule. With a win next week against Indiana, with the Old Oaken Bucket at stake, the Boilermakers will be bowling for the first time since the 2012 season. Sophomore Elijah Sindelar threw for 229 yards and a career-high three touchdown passes with a stiff wind at his back and Purdue beat Iowa 24-15 on Saturday to move within a game of bowl eligibility. Anthony Mahoungou had 135 yards receiving, catching two of those Sindelar TD receptions in the opening 3:01 of the second half for the Boilermakers (5-6, 3-5 Big Ten). They won their first Big Ten road game of the year and snapped Iowa's four-game win streak in the series. "A big win for our program. We've been able to hang in there and fight through adversity. Couldn't be prouder of our guys," Brohm said.
