Purdue vs #2 Michigan _ 2022 Big 10 Conference #GJWCollegefootball #GJWcollegefootballscores #GJWRug

Michigan won the toss, deferred, Perdue will get it, and here we go, Moody sends it away, this ball picked up at the 5, y'all good special teams by Michigan for this great opportunity. First and 10 of the 19-yard line, O'Connell will throw him first down, and he sets up the screen, Charlie Jones going nowhere, great coverage by Will Johnson the freshman. O'Connell, empty backfield, here's O'Connell, steps up in the pocket. Under pressure, and he goes down! Jalen Harrell gets to him, a loss of six, and the Michigan defense comes out firing. McCarthy, with time, underneath, ball caught for Nelius Johnson, and it looks like he has the first down. Third down and six, McCarthy, with time in the pocket, now starts to scramble. Squares his shoulders, McCarthy, nobody to throw it to, finally gets rid of a Durante bell. The Wolverines, out of the offset eye, here's the reverse, no, it's McCarthy, throw it in the corner, Michigan! Colston Loveland, back-to-back touchdown receptions. Merging before our eyes, Colston Loveland, in double coverage, the tight end, goes up, and hauls that one in for a touchdown. This guy is really talented, and is going to be an absolutely great player. I felt like they really took off, won seven of their last nine. Second down and nine, O'Connell underneath, has a receiver, and it's a first down for Purdue. It's Rice, Mershawn Rice, with the gain of 13 yards. Second and five, at the 27, Mockaby, in the backfield, on the sideline, crashes forward, picks up the first down. Now Purdue starting to move the football, D.J. Turner, can't move the chance. O'Connell, five for five, and they drop it, Michigan right there, and he's sacked in the backfield. R.J. Moten, but he can't get it done. O'Connell, now underneath, and he's got Chuck Sizzle. That's right, Charlie Jones has been hot this season. You vacate a zone, then we're going to exploit it. First down at the 48, Jones, the other side, now Charlie Jones, first down, and more! I tell you what, Charlie Jones coming off a big game. Four catches, 143 yards, and a touchdown in their win last week against Indiana. On the 38 this time, Blayfay, O'Connell, guns it, wide open, Charlie Jones. And this time, it's Tracy, hits the egg, another first down, Tracy, touchdown Purdue! Effort in, and that knee was down, though. What a great look by that pylon cam. If they take another look, which I believe they will, lines up as the deep man in the I formation. They'll give it to him, plowing forward. No signal yet. I think that was Jenkins who made the initial tackle. Yeah, that's 94. Oh, did he get that ball across, Gus? Did you see that ball pop across? Determined that the runner did break the plane of the goal line. So Purdue on the board. Excuse me, Purdue diving, and that's Durham. So from the 48, Blayfay, O'Connell delivers! 45, Todd Sizzle! They played together in both football and baseball. O'Connell again, and once again, it's Jones for first down. Allison, continue your story. O'Connell drops it and falls on it. Second time they've had problems with that mesh point. 13 of 19 on the year, this one from 33 yards away. And he nails it. And Purdue with 13.39 to play here in the second. Ben Herbert, their strength and conditioning coach, second and three. McCarthy bouncing, McCarthy underneath and a first down. Edwards really has no excuses. His legs are fine. Second and five. McCarthy delivers! Caught on the sideline, Ronnie Bell. Against Ohio State, he missed a 57-yarder. And a flag on the play. He's got to have to be aware for that little razzle-dazzle. Fourth down and one, they give it to Mullings, looking for the first down. And Mullings looks to have the first 22. And another run for the Wolverines. Edwards again, just chopping, chopping, chopping away. 12th play of the drive that started at the 25. McCarthy in trouble. Here's J.J. Let's it go! Touchdown! Luke Schoonmaker! J.J. McCarthy using his legs to buy time. That block on the linebacker really opens it up. O'Connell in trouble. And O'Connell sacked Jalen Harrell. Aiden O'Connell in the pocket. Oh, what a strike! Aiden O'Connell throws a beautiful ball. And Purdue will take it all the way down to the Michigan 33. O'Connell with time. On his first attempt. A veteran. And it's good! Donovan Edwards in the backfield with J.J. McCarthy, who looks like he'll take the snap under center. Here's Edwards. Jitterbugging, Edwards hits the edge! Here's the burst! Donovan Edwards! We told you they're a second-half team. Mullings comes in the game at running back. He's a power guy. Straight ahead, spins, leans. Bredesen in front of him. Mullings, second man through. Did he get there? Touchdown, Wolverines! McCarthy sets up deep. Goes over the middle, throws a strike. The schoolmaker who gets down the sideline. I'll tell you what. Edwards breaks it back. Makes a cut. Donovan Edwards! Again! Touchdown, Michigan! First down at the 18. O'Connell throwing off his back foot. Intercepted! Will Johnson! Harley Jones works inside against Will Johnson. Will Johnson tries to go over the top. See how that ball was short? It needs to be up and over the top. And it wasn't. Towards the back of the end zone. That's what allowed Will Johnson to get back to the inside and pick that ball off. And this young freshman maturing right before our eyes. Been effective receiving the ball tonight. They run it, looking for the first down. Flag on the play. I don't think he has it. Looks like Perdue turned him away. Jack Sullivan. Third down and one. Offing it up! By Ferry! Charlie Jones, can they double team both of those guys with safeties over the top? O'Connell looking, steps up, and he is sacked! Michigan gets to him. Taylor Upshaw. Got it away and it is perfect. First and ten of the 42. McCarthy. Bouncing. All day to throw the football. McCarthy. Buying time. Lets it fly. And intercepted! Jamari Brown. He just gets totally greedy. I was just praising his playmaking ability, throwing the ball down the field when he breaks contain. They're trying to take a shot. It's covered up. Now he breaks contain. He tries to direct traffic and lead Ronnie Bell, but there's three defenders back there. That is an ill-advised throw. O'Connell looking to the sideline. Throws it up! And drops it! Down inside the Michigan 15 is Merjohn Rice. Perdue's here with an opportunity to get a first down. O'Connell steps up in the pocket. Now out of the pocket. O'Connell in trouble and just gets rid of it. Finneran has been perfect three for three. This one from 27 yards away. And he continues to be perfect. 54 catches, 550 yards for Durham coming into this game. O'Connell underneath and it's intercepted again! Wow! Will Johnson with the second pick. Will Johnson read it perfectly. He's one-on-one coverage. Watch how quickly he breaks. Right when he sees the foot in the ground from Perdue, he takes off into the inside and beats the wide receiver of the ball. McCarthy serving. In zone! Touchdown, Ronnie Bell! What a throw! JJ doesn't turn the ball over, and he can make plays that other people just can't. Interesting formation here, Parker. What's this? For the swing and gate. McCarthy rolls out, hits the edge, throws it back, caught! Schoonmaker! And they convert! So Perdue in desperation mode now. Here's the run with Mockaby. He'll spin, get close to that first down mark. Second and one. Mockaby again. First down. Sideline. Caught. Charlie Jones again in the first down. The Big Ten championship game. O'Connell steps into his throw. Back shoulder, and it's a catch! Chuck Sizzle again. That's just great body control. Look as he goes way back. Down and checks in at running back. Third down and eight. Incomplete. Michael Johnson again. And it's good. Five for five. You know, six red zone trips tonight for Perdue offensively. They've gotten one touchdown, four field goals, and they have a turnover. And Gus, right now, that's the entire difference of the game. And here's an onside kick, which is recovered by the Wolverines. Michigan ready. But I will say that I think Michigan and Ohio State, for that matter, are two of the best teams in the country. Fourth down and two. Wolverines going for it, and they will get it. Kalel Mullings. This program, they had lost to it. Donovan Edwards again inside the ten. They cut his money, but he came back with a vengeance. Moments away from back-to-back Big Ten titles and back-to-back playoff bursts. And a touchdown here. Kalel Mullings. Like I said before, fully expect them to do what they should and put the teams that are either undefeated or have one loss in the college football playoff. Who wins it all, Joel? When it's all said and done, your prediction. Oh, you want me to make a pick, right? I reserve my right to make a pick. You take a Socratic position. That's right. But Michigan defeats Purdue 43-22. The Wolverines are back-to-back Big Ten champions. They head into the college football playoff, back-to-back years. But this time, a national championship is in the front of their minds.
