A redshirt freshman at Minnesota last season, Ijeboi averaged over 6 yards per carry this year. Quarterback Ryan Browne completed 14 of 24 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown, while adding 81 yards rushing and a score of his own. Drake Lindsey threw for 248 yards, connecting with Jalen Smith on a 42-yard touchdown to cut the Boilermakers' lead to 27-13 in the third quarter. After a muffed punt, Ijeboi's 1-yard touchdown run with 7:35 remaining sealed the win. Purdue dominated the first half, leading 20-3 at halftime. From Minnesota, Drake Lindsey threw a game-tying 42-yard touchdown to Jalen Smith with 11:35 left in the third quarter. Purdue answered with a 12-yard touchdown run by Ijeboi in the fourth quarter, and a muffed punt gave the Boilermakers the ball at the Minnesota 10, where Ijeboi finished the game with a 1-yard touchdown run in the final minute.",
