Impact Tagovailoa notched his second rushing score of the season with a nine-yard carry early in the first quarter of Saturday's losing effort. While the 5-foot-11 passer did give up his fifth interception of the season shortly thereafter, he also completed four 20-plus-yard passes against the Boilermakers, including a 68-yard touchdown connection with tight end Corey Dyches (four receptions, five targets, 106 yards, two touchdowns) just before the end of the first half. Tagovailoa now sits third in the Big Ten in passing yards per game (288.5) behind Purdue's Aidan O'Connell and Ohio State's C.J. Stroud, though he's second in the conference for completion percentage (74.1) behind Michigan's J.J. McCarthy.
