  "account": "In a thrilling victory that ended a three-game losing streak, Washington defeated Purdue 38-26 in a game held in West Lafayette, Indiana. Quarterback Elijah Brown led the Huskies to a 302-yard and three-touchdown performance, breaking the losing streak with decisive plays. Washington took an early 31-20 lead when Brown connected with Dezmen Roebuck on a 4-yard touchdown pass. Purdue narrowed the gap to 31-26 with Ryan Browne's 8-yard touchdown pass, but the two-point conversion attempt failed. Trey Cooley's 53-yard touchdown run extended Washington's lead to 38-26 with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. A crucial penalty, a roughing the passer call on an incomplete third-down-and-10 play for Purdue, gave the Huskies a first down, leading to Brian Bonner Jr. scoring on a 1-yard run two plays later and securing the win. Despite Elijah Brown's interception on the first play from scrimmage, the Boilermakers failed to capitalize on the opportunity, which was a common theme throughout the game. Washington held a significant advantage in total yards, with a 488-371 lead. For Purdue, Fame Ijeboi was limited to 19 yards on 13 carries, while Antonio Harris managed 65 yards, mostly with a 59-yard run. The Boilermakers must win three of their last five games to achieve bowl eligibility.",
