The Wildcats scored on their first three possessions, raced out to a 13-0 l ead at halftime, then kept the Boilermakers' offense in check to send them to a fifth consecutive loss overall and 13th straight in conference play. "I was excited about the way this football team started out the game," Northwestern coach David Braun sai d.

Stone threw for 132 yards on 11-for-26 passing.He connected with Hun ter Welcing for a touchdown in the second quarter, then Griffin Wilde in the third. Wilde has TDs in four straight games. The Wildcats ran the ball 50 times for 232 yards. That helped Northwestern control the pace of this one and dominate in possession t ime - 38 minutes to 22. "We know who we are," Braun said. "It starts with the running game and it's built around that. We have to make sure we continually emphasize it." The Wildcats defense limited Purdue to 11 first-down conversions while Northwestern consistently advanced to 25 of its own. "We're super lucky to have the defense that we do," Stone said. "We had 11 guys flying around the whole game, not just doing their job, but really like setting the tone, honestly inflicting pain on that offense." O lsen has eight field goals on the season, all in the last four last four weeks. - Northwestern/AP College Football
