Hudson Card leads Boilermakers past Hokies 24-17 after lengthy weather delay

Hudson Card threw for 248 yards and rushed for a score to lift Purdue to a 24-17 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday after a lengthy weather delay. Card’s 1-yard run with eight minutes remaining was the difference for the Boilermakers (1-1), who handed first-year coach Ryan Walters his first victory and took some of the sting out of a 39-35 defeat to Fresno State in the season opener. The Boilermakers survived what turned out to be a long day at Lane Stadium.
