per ESPN:
Biggest play: Cedric Thompson’s athletic interception sealed the deal late in the fourth quarter, but in terms of impact, it was a previous defensive stop for Minnesota that could go down as a turning point for the entire season. With Purdue going for it on a fourth-and-1 in Minnesota territory with the lead and a chance to keep working on the clock, Damarius Travis was all alone as Austin Appleby came around right end and tried to dive for the first down. The Gophers safety delivered a stout blow, popped the ball loose and kept the Boilermakers short of the sticks, setting the stage for the game-winning field goal on the ensuing drive.
Big Man on Campus (special teams): The outing wasn’t perfect, but Ryan Santoso probably won’t spend much time thinking about the extra point he missed in Minnesota’s win over Purdue. He more than made up for that mistake with a clutch 52-yard field goal with the game on the line, a pressure-packed kick that kept the Gophers unbeaten in the league and protected their spot on top of the West Division.
