Johnson helps Iowa run past Purdue 24-3

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- , Kaleb Johnson had a day to remember. The freshman ran for a career-high 200 yards on 22 carries, including a touchdown, and Spencer Petras passed for two touchdowns to power Iowa past Purdue 24-3 on Saturday. It was the Hawkeyes' first 200-yard rusher since Akum Wadley had 204 in 2015. “It was a total team win in all phases," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "It was like old-time football. I thought our guys did a great job with the conditions. I think all three drives were into the wind and we didn't let it bother us. It was a total team effort." Purdue’s Aidan O’Connell struggled to find his rhythm on a windy day, completing just 20 of 43 passes for 168 yards and two interceptions. Both teams are now 5-4 and 3-3 in the Big Ten. Iowa has won two in a row while Purdue lost its second game in a row.
