- 0:37of twenty seven passes, and overcame three interceptions. It felt great, said
- 0:42Brown, who transferred from Stanford after last season. I felt we played
- 0:46as a team. I had those three interceptions, but everyone stayed positive
- 0:50and kept on encouraging me, and we got it done. Chris Lawson
- 0:54was a top target with six catches for one hundred and three
- 0:57yards. We've been on a bad run, but we felt this gave
- 1:00was a good one to get everything started and get it rolling,
- 1:03Lawson said. Washington, four three one three Big Ten, took a thirty
- 1:08one twenty lead early in the fourth quarter on Brown's four yard
- 1:12touchdown pass to Desmond Roebuck. The Boilermakers, three hundred four two two

- 2:08Fish said his defense did a great job holding Purdue to 98
- 2:12yards, rushing with most coming on one fifty-nine yard run by Antonio
- 2:16Harris. Their defensive line won on the line of scrimmage. Purdue coach
- 2:20Barry Odom said. They had everyone in
- 2:23the box, and we were not able to counter, unfortunately. I think
- 2:26our offense will probably go as we're able to run the
- 2:29ball We couldn't find enough room to get that going to help
- 2:32the passing game enough. I thought Ryan made some big time throws.
- 2:36We didn't win at the point of scrimmage. Brown was twenty one
- 2:40of forty one for two hundred and seventy three yards with two
- 2:43interceptions. The takeaway. Washington. Elijah Brown
