At that spot on the field you have to back them up so they did. Clock ran, Purdue has to call timeout. Still 1st down, call timeout again and then again on 2nd down. 3rd down they ran down the clock.
Other things happened that didn't let Purdue win (awful personal foul penalty) but even without it, the time situation would have made a comeback nearly impossible.
