You could pick five obvious plays that explain why Rutgers was able to beat Purdue despite losing the box score.
A 74-yard touchdown run by Gus Edwards. A 35-yard touchdown catch by Raheem Blackshear. A two-point conversion stop. A fourth-down stop swarm tackle. An interception by K.J. Gray in the red zone.
All of it swung a close game in Rutgers' favor for a 14-12 victory.
Ryan Anderson was averaging 45.6 yards per punt on 11 punts, with four inside the 20-yard line and a long of 61.
