Northwestern quarterback Jack Lausch – breaking through the Purdue line for a gain of 9 yards

Purdue had a opportunity to claim victory in overtime, but when a fourth down pass failed, after a go-ahead field goal wasn’t attempted, Northwestern then took their opportunity, and the Wildcats succeeded when quarterback Jack Lausch connected with Joseph Himon II for a game-winning 22-yard reception.
