Purdue's Heartbreaker Against Wake Forest | Wake Forest Football News

Purdue’s heartbreak continues as they lose a brutal double-overtime thriller to Wake Forest, 38-36, after a controversial fourth-down reversal handed the dejected Boilermakers their second straight loss. Head coach Barry Odom fought valiantly, praising quarterback Ryan Browne’s gutsy performance despite taking hits and throwing for over 300 yards. But the defense’s early struggles and inability to convert on third downs kept Wake Forest alive — even after Purdue scored in OT, a failed two-point try left the door open. Odom admitted missteps in defensive alignment and acknowledged the need to get off the field more consistently. The team’s hunger for a signature win remains fierce, and their next shot? A road test against UCLA in Los Angeles. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
