    COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Purdue football improved to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in Big Ten play following a narrow 31-29 road win over Maryland on Saturday inside SECU Stadium. The team overcame three third-quarter turnovers and eventually fended off a furious final comeback attempt by the Terrapins on the final drive. 

    The Boilermakers had just 13 total yards rushing, but redshirt senior tight end Payne Durham led the way in the passing game with seven catches, 109 yards and a touchdown. He also rumbled 56 yards down the field to set up the offense's final score. 

    On defense, Purdue didn't allow a scoring drive after the three giveaways on offense and held strong on Maryland's final offensive possession, keeping the Terrapins out of the end zone on a 2-point conversion to help seal the win.
