WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Spencer Evans made a 25-yard field goal with 8 seconds left Saturday to give Purdue a 38-36 upset over No. 19 Iowa. David Blough threw three touchdown passes to Terry Wright and topped the 300-yard mark for the fifth time this season as the Boilermakers moved within a game of the Big Ten West’s division lead. The Hawkeyes lost their second straight road game when their vaunted defense couldn’t come up with one final stop.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Brock Purdy threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns, two of them big-play strikes to Hakeem Butler, and Iowa State rolled to a 27-3 victory over Kansas. The Cyclones have won four straight after putting their freshman quarterback under center. The Jayhawks struggled a week after upsetting TCU.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Austin Errthum kicked four consecutive first-half field goals, the longest from 43-yards out, to stake Northern Iowa to a 19-3 halftime lead and spark the Panthers to a 26-16 in over Illinois State in a Missouri Valley Conference showdown. After JT Bohlken converted from 27-yards out on the Redbirds opening possession, Errthum capped three of UNI’s next four drives with field goals, hitting from 30, 30, 27 and 43 yards.
