People see what they want to see.

Purdue was fortunate to escape with the win IMO. FAU scored a TD that made it 26-21, with a good PAT it would've been 27-21 half way through the 4th.  The refs called a questionable chop block against FAU's offensive lineman that had absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the TD play as it was completely on the other side of the field.  On the very next play, the QB made a horrendous decision throwing into heavy coverage and a Purdue DB picked it off almost for a Pick 6.  Purdue scored a couple of plays later and made it 28-20.  So, in a blink of an eye, it was a huge change of events.

FAMU on the very next possession had no problem whatsoever marching all the way down the field (in similar fashion) and scored a TD.  They went for two, but it was unsuccessful and the game was 28-26.  They stopped Purdue on their next offensive series and got the ball back with a chance to score the winning FG.  Again, they marched down the field, to just over mid-field.  They only needed another 15 yards perhaps to get into field goal range, but again, FAU's QB made a horrendous decision and throwing error for another pick that sealed the W for the Boilermakers.
