WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Curtis Painter passed for 260 yards and a touchdown and overcame four interceptions to lead Purdue to a 28-19 win over Indiana on Saturday in the Old Oaken Bucket game.

Purdue's victory eliminated Indiana from bowl contention.

Greg Orton caught six passes for 112 yards and Dorien Bryant caught five passes for 74 yards and ran for a score for Purdue (8-4, 5-3 Big Ten). The Boilermakers finished in a tie for fourth place in the conference.

Kellen Lewis passed for 290 yards and a touchdown and ran for 103 and a score, and James Hardy caught nine passes for 151 yards and a touchdown for Indiana (5-7, 3-5). The Hoosiers gained 505 yards, but scored just two touchdowns.

Painter threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Orton with 9:13 left in the third quarter to give the Boilermakers a 14-3 lead.

Indiana responded with a six-play, 74-yard scoring drive. A 28-yard pass from Lewis to Hardy moved the ball to the Purdue 25, and two plays later, Lewis ran 15 yards for a touchdown to cut Purdue's lead to 14-10 with 6:56 left in the third quarter.

Purdue came back with a nine-play, 80-yard scoring drive. Kory Sheets scored on a 2-yard run to give Purdue a 21-10 lead with 2:45 left in the third quarter.

Indiana's Austin Starr made a 31-yard field goal with 46 seconds left in the third quarter to make it 21-13.

Starr pushed a 26-yarder left with 11:07 left in the fourth quarter. Indiana got the ball back after Painter's fourth interception, and a 53-yard run by Demetrius McCray set up a first-and-goal from the 2. Purdue forced a fourth-and-goal from the 7, but Lewis found Hardy in the middle of the end zone for a score to cut Purdue's lead to 21-19. The Boilermakers stopped Lewis on a quarterback draw on the 2-point conversion attempt.


Purdue's nine-play, 76-yard scoring drive put the game out of reach. Bryant scored on a 15-yard run to give the Boilermakers a 28-19 lead with 5:06 to play.

2005 Bucket Game



2005 – November 19
1              2              3              4              T

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Purdue took advantage of five Indiana turnovers, getting three touchdown runs from Kory Sheets and two from Dorien Bryant to cruise past the rival Hoosiers 41-14.

The Boilermakers (5-6, 3-5) claimed the Old Oaken Bucket for the fourth straight year and the eighth time in Joe Tiller's nine seasons as coach. Purdue won its final three games of the season but failed to reach a bowl game for the first time in Tiller's tenure.

Indiana (4-7, 1-7) allowed 27 points in a quarter for the third straight week and ended the year with six consecutive losses, its last looking as dismal as it appeared on the one working scoreboard at Memorial Stadium.

Hoosiers quarterback Blake Powers was picked off three times, finishing 11-of-24 for 150 yards although he scored on touchdown runs of 9 and 8 yards. Indiana also lost two fumbles.

Sheets, who replaced the injured Jerod Void early Saturday, carried 19 times for 137 yards while Bryant scored on two of six runs. Quarterback Curtis Painter was 14-of-27 for 124 yards and had 10 carries for 60 yards.

But Purdue made it look easy. After trailing 7-0, the Boilermakers capitalized on Powers' first interception with a 25-yard TD run from Sheets that gave Purdue a 10-7 lead. Three plays later, Powers was picked off again and Sheets converted with a 5-yard TD run.

After another Hoosiers turnover, Bryant's 10-yard touchdown run made it 24-7 and Purdue closed the half with a 31-yard field goal from Ben Jones. The Boilermakers ran the last 22 plays of the half in Indiana territory, and the Hoosiers never challenged.
