Purdue took home the trophy in a back-and-forth Foster Farms Bowl against Arizona on Wednesday night at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
The Boilermakers had to rally for the 38-35 victory after the Wildcats scored a touchdown with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Purdue quarterback Elijah Sindelar tossed a 38-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Anthony Mahoungou, who hauled in the throw despite having a defender draped over him.
