Penn State secures victory over Purdue in Week 9 matchup

Penn State ended its losing streak with a 31-17 victory against Purdue at home on October 31. The win marked Matt Campbell's first Big Ten victory as head coach. The Nittany Lions' strong rushing game, led by Cam Wallace and Carson Hansen, significantly contributed to the team's success. While the defense allowed one early touchdown, it ultimately limited Purdue to just 175 total yards. However, the special teams struggled, including a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. A bye week follows for Penn State as they look to build on this performance before their next game.
