WEST LAFAYETTE – Purdue rallied from a 14-3 deficit to storm past Nevada, 24-14, Saturday afternoon in non-conference football at Ross-Ade Stadium.

Purdue cut the lead to 14-10 late in the first half when Bilal Marshall caught a 48-yard pass from David Blough with 1:20 to go.

A second touchdown pass from Blough, a 51-yarder to Brycen Hopkins sealed the win for the Boilers, which move to 2-1 for the first time since 2012. Blough threw for 300 yards on 21-30 attempts. Marshall had 82 yards on five catches.
