Purdue looks to be in control of the game as it leads 34-6 at the end of the second quarter. The Boilermakers opened up the lead, 20-0, after marching down the field for an eight-play, 45-yard drive that ended when Kurt Freytag pounded in a seven-yard touchdown run.

Eastern Kentucky made the score 20-6 after Matt Denham ran 30 yards to paydirt to finish off a 75-yard drive. Jared McClain's 24-yard pass to Cameron Bailey took the Colonels from the 46 and across midfield to ignite the drive.

Purdue made its lead 27-6 when Robert Marve threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Antavian Edison on the last play of an eight-play, 79-yard drive. The Boilermakers used Marve's 46-yard pass to fuel the drive.

Purdue expanded its lead to 34-6 thanks to a six-play, 37-yard drive that ended when Akeem Shavers turned a handoff into an eight-yard touchdown. The Boilermakers started in good field position when Will Lucas intercepted McClain's pass. Purdue ran just one time during that march down the field.
