Congrats to Archie!!!

I watched the game again last night and I still can't figure out why Donald was given a personal foul in the second half. He ran into a pile but the whistle had not blown yet.

Lots of Big Ten referee home cookin' in that game. Like the holding penalty on the quickout. Mark B. even mentioned it in his broadcast.

Watching the game on Saturday I was waiting for the replay that never came. The only thing I could come up with was a helment to helmet hit but he was a part of huge pile of Midnight Blue & Gold.

I agree, and I also wonder - if Donald's was a late hit, why wasn't the Purdue player who went into the pile after Donald did also flagged?
