Fame Ijeboi powers Purdue past Minnesota, 41-13

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) ---
Fame Ijeboi ran for a career-high 195 yards and three touchdowns to lead Purdue
to a 41-13 win over Minnesota on Saturday night.
Ijeboi, a Minnesota transfer who had 441 yards rushing last season as a
redshirt freshman, averaged more than 6 yards per carry.
Ryan Browne was 14-of-24 passing for 159 yards and a touchdown for the
Boilermakers (3-3, 2-1 Big Ten) and added 81 yards rushing and a TD on seven
carries.
Drake Lindsey, who had 248 yards passing for Minnesota (4-2, 2-1), connected
with Jalen Smith for a 42-yard TD to trim Purdue's lead to 27-13 in the third
quarter, but the Boilermakers answered when Browne rushed for a 12-yard TD
early in the fourth quarter and after a muffed punt gave Purdue the ball on the
Minnesota 10, Ijeboi's 1-yard TD run on fourth down capped the scoring with
7:35 left.
The Boilermakers dominated in the first half, leading 20-3 at halftime. Jacobo
Echeverria Lozano kicked a 45-yard field goal and a 15-yard TD pass from Browne
to George Burhenn made it 10-0 going into the second quarter.
After a 49-yard field goal by Minnesota's Luke Drzewiecki, Purdue answered with
a 28-yard field goal and a 3-yard TD run by Ijeboi.
Ijeboi's 1-yard TD run pushed the lead to 27-3 early in the third quarter.
The Takeaway Minnesota: It was a flat performance from the Gophers coming off a 20-14 win over visiting Michigan. Minnesota managed just 16 rushing yards in the first half and 25 on 12 carries overall. Purdue: The Boilermakers captured their second consecutive victory with their most complete game this season. Purdue scored on all six red zone possessions and did commit a turnover.
Up next Minnesota: Hosts No. 20 Iowa on Oct. 24. Purdue: Hosts Washington on Friday. ___ Sign up for Top 25 poll alerts here, visit the Top 25 here and see AP's full college football coverage here
