74-year-old Crawfordsville man dies after crash on U.S. 52

LAFAYETTE, IN — A 74-year-old Crawfordsville man tried to take off his sweatshirt while driving Saturday, causing him to lose control of his pickup truck and leading to a crash that took his life, according to the Tippecanoe County Sheriff's Department. Harold Morrison Jr. was southbound about 7:15 p.m. Saturday when his truck drifted off the right side of U.S. 52 just north of Tippecanoe County Road 900 South, according to the sheriff's department. There were no witnesses to the crash. Morrison's truck drove through a ditch, police said. Then it began to slide sideways and struck several trees. Morrison was conscious when first responders reach him in the wreckage, Tippecanoe County sheriff's Capt. Rob Hainje said Monday. When they asked Morrison what happened, he said he was trying to take off his sweatshirt. Morrison was trapped in the truck and Clarks Hill firefighters extricated him from the wreckage. Paramedics rushed him to IU Health Arnett Hospital, where he later died from his injuries, police said. Tippecanoe County Coroner Carrie Costello identified Morrison on Monday and said his forensic autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday. Reach Ron Wilkins at rwilkins@jconline.com .

Struggling Big Ten Program Fires Coach After Suffering Sixth Loss of the Season

Purdue turned Homecoming into an outright embarrassment. A humiliating 34-29 loss to a Maryland team that hadn’t won a Big Ten game all season was the final straw. Less than 24 hours later, the Boilermakers fired defensive coordinator Kevin Kane, just nine games into his second stint. With Purdue sitting at 3-6 and its bowl hopes collapsing, Barry Odom’s second season is looking like a repeat of his disastrous first, thanks to a defense that surrendered 27 second-half points, including three touchdowns of at least 40 yards. Odom made the call, and the school announced it on Sunday, effective i...

Purdue at Iowa: Opening Odds

How does FanDuel think Purdue will fire in the second post-Kevin Kane era?. After a [somewhat] stunning defeat and a [not-so] stunning coaching change over homecoming weekend, Purdue football will travel to Iowa City to take on the AP #16 Hawkeyes in Kinnick. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET so it will be played under the lights. This Iowa teams comes into the week with a 7-2 record with their only losses being to Ohio State (when they still had a healthy Julian Sayin) and at Minnesota. In their 3 remaining games including Saturday night, Iowa is going to attempt to get to 10-2 and try and reach the College Football Playoff for the first time in school history. The Hawkeyes are currently ranked #19 in the CFP but a new set of rankings will drop this week. Iowa’s previous closest attempt at the playoff was 2015 where a 12-0 Hawkeyes team lost in the Big Ten Championship to Michigan State. The Spartans would go on to jump the Hawkeyes in the CFP rankings and take the slot from Kirk Ferentz and company before getting blown out by eventual champion, Alabama, in the Cotton Bowl.
