The junior also punched in Purdue's first touchdown of the game with a two-yard rushing score in the first quarter. Downing split carries alongside redshirt sophomore Devin Mockobee (11 rushes, 112 yards, one touchdown), and the two should continue to shoulder the Boilermakers' running game so long as No. 1 back King Doerue (calf) remains out this season.
