for Owls

Justin said in the postgamer he saw that the offensive
line splits gave him a route to the holder...

...."You have to get
skinny," he said, but here it's more like he's making himself huge as he surges
through the line...

By force of will, he's quickly in between his two
blockers and plowing into the backfield...

"You take three steps and you jump," he
observed -- and here his in the beginning of his leap as Purdue's Wiggs calmly approaches,
with the placement clean...

The moment of truth -- Justin Allen is just about to
create mayhem with this field goal attempt...

...and WHAM! -- "It hit off my forearm," he
said...

...the ball fizzles off to the left as Justin completes
his follow-through -- and so the deed is done...

....no amont of kicker body English can get this one to
go...and Wiggs' NCAA-record consecutive streak is broken...

...Chris Jammer had such a bird's eye view of the
proceedings that he immediately begins to celebrate -- the TV guys thought he was the one
who'd blocked the thing...

...well, anyway, that's IT! Game over, OWLS WIN!
