Big 10 Championship game: Michigan vs. Purdue score, highlights


Will Purdue be able to play the ultimate Spoilermakers? Or will No. 2 Michigan take care of business on its way to the College Football Playoff?
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 13Aidan 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 13FIELD GOAL. Mitchell Fineran hits from 45 yards away, sneaking it just inside the upright. Boilers not going away.
7:05 2Q: Michigan 14, Purdue 10TOUCHDOWN. 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 7FIELD GOAL. Mitchell Fineran hits the 33-yard field goal, and the Boilermakers lead.
END 1Q: Purdue 7, Michigan 7Boilermakers 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 7TOUCHDOWN: 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 0TOUCHDOWN: 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 0A 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"
