Another game and more of the same. When we gonna go full Leach on teams? It would seem to be our best strategy. Purdue started getting back into it when the Gophs stopped passing and started trying to run the clock out.

If you remove the kneels and then move the sacks from the run total to the pass play calculations, you get:

14.2 yds per pass play
4.4 yds per run play

After the Gophers went up 38-17, they had three more possessions. Sacks killed their first two drives and the last drive they ground it out to win the game. Doesn't look like they gave up passing.
