Slowing Down Rondale Moore Key To Ohio State Being Able To Halt Explosive Purdue Offense

Don’t, even for a second, shortchange Rondale Moore. Don’t think of him as a freshman. Don’t take a look at him, Purdue’s swiss army knife who is generously listed at 5-foot-9, 175 pounds, and think of him as anything but an absolute game-changing playmaker.

Think of Moore as the Boilermakers’ best weapon against Ohio State.

In his first college game, he caught 11 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown in a 31-27 loss to Northwestern. He also ran for a 76-yard touchdown. Just two weeks later, Moore once again caught 11 passes, this time gaining 137 yards.
