We'll keep you updated on Saturday night's Big Ten Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium. Hit refresh for updates.

HALFTIME: Michigan 14, Purdue 13

Aidan O'Connell is having himself a night. The Purdue QB is 19-of-23 passing for 183 yards and the Boilermakers are outgaining the Wolverines 215-135. Purdue certainly doesn't look overmatched or out of place in the Big Ten Championship game so far.

1:23 2Q: Michigan 14, Purdue 13

FIELD GOAL. Mitchell Fineran hits from 45 yards away, sneaking it just inside the upright. Boilers not going away.

7:05 2Q: Michigan 14, Purdue 10

TOUCHDOWN. Purdue jumps offsides on a 48-yard field goal attempt and the Wolverines decide to go for the first down on 4th-and-1 and get it. A few plays later, Michigan scores on a 6-yard pass from J.J. McCarthy to Luke Schoonmaker. Brutal.

13:39 2Q: Purdue 10, Michigan 7

FIELD GOAL. Mitchell Fineran hits the 33-yard field goal, and the Boilermakers lead.

END 1Q: Purdue 7, Michigan 7

Boilermakers convert a fake punt on 4th-and-4 at midfield into a first down to Payne Durham and are driving in Wolverines' territory. Purdue playing loose and making plays.

4:54 1Q: Michigan 7, Purdue 7

TOUCHDOWN: A nice mix of passes to the running backs and Charlie Jones helps Purdue march 92 yards down the field and Tyrone Tracy seemingly capped off the impressive drive with a 21-yard touchdown run before a review ruled him down at the half-yard line. Devin Mockobee gets the ball over the goal-line on the next play (Yes, after yet another review). A really good answer from the Boilermakers.

9:11 1Q: Michigan 7, Purdue 0

TOUCHDOWN: After two third-down conversions and one reaaaaaaaaally long officials review, the Wolverines strike first with a 25-yard strike from J.J. McCarthy to Colston Loveland. Was a nice grab between two Purdue defenders.

12:59 1Q: Purdue 0, Michigan 0

A rough first drive for the Boilermakers. Purdue loses 10 yards on its first three plays, including a third-down sack of Aidan O'Connell.

>> As expected, Aidan O'Connell will start at quarterback for the Boilermakers.

>> Purdue defensive lineman Branson Deen was going through warmups despite some pessimism earlier in the week when Jeff Brohm said this about the Lawrence Central grad's availability: "Probably not, but I don't want to rule it out. But I'm not optimistic on that one"
