Gophers’ buzz zapped in a 41-13 blowout loss at Purdue
Ijeboi rushed for a career-high 195 yards and three touchdowns as Purdue outgained Minnesota 305-25 on the ground.
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, Purdue running back Fame Ijeboi rushed for a career-high 195 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Boilermakers to a 41-13 victory over his former team, Minnesota, at Ross-Ade Stadium.
Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck committed to Darius Taylor as the primary tailback for 2026, prompting Ijeboi to transfer to Purdue seeking a starting opportunity, according to reports.
Purdue's offense dominated with 305 total rushing yards while holding the Golden Gophers to just 25 yards on 12 carries, showcasing a stark contrast in ground-game execution.
Minnesota's three-game winning streak, built on recent victories over Michigan and Washington, ended with the loss, leaving the team at 4-2 overall and 2-1 in Big Ten play.
The Boilermakers captured their second consecutive victory, snapping a 19-game Big Ten losing streak last weekend and establishing momentum heading into a Friday matchup with Washington.
