West Lafayette, IN (Sports Network) - Justin Siller's 28-yard touchdown pass to Desmond Tardy with 26 seconds remaining proved to be the game winner as the Purdue Boilermakers defeated the Michigan Wolverines, 48-42, in a Big Ten Conference matchup at Ross-Ade Stadium.
Siller finished the afternoon 21-of-34 passing for 266 yards and three touchdowns, while Kory Sheets paced the Purdue (3-6, 1-4 Big Ten) ground attack, carrying the ball 30 times for 128 yards and three scores.
Brandon Minor carried Michigan (2-7, 1-4)on offense, racking up 155 yards and three touchdowns on 24 rushing attempts. Quarterback Steven Threet completed 9-of-21 passing for 123 yards and two scores.
The outcome guarantees a losing record for the Wolverines, something that has not occurred since the 1967 season when they finished 4-6. Michigan also became ineligible for a postseason berth, marking the first time since 1974 that the Wolverines will
not be making a bowl appearance.
