As Purdue's #1 fan I feel at liberty to speak on this.
The Cowboys were deep inside their own half and as the fastest player at the Cowboys, Purdue shaped as their best long-field option.
Of course, Drinkwater had to be the guy and what the Cowboys should have been looking for was a way to generate a legs tackle and get Drinkwater out of dummy half with Dearden/Purdue/Clifford pushing through but no dice.
As our professional foul expert, what did you make of Taulagi's intercept? Should Ponga have been binned?
