We are going streaking! On homecoming, Rutgers beat Purdue in a hard fought 14-12 victory in which the defense held strong and led the team to its first winning streak since joining the Big Ten in 2014. It is the first time the program has won back to back conference games since 2012. The offense struggled and Purdue outgained Rutgers by 257 yards (474-217), but Jerry Kill’s unit produced two big plays that were the difference in the game.
On just the second snap from scrimmage, running back Gus Edwards broke a tackle and ran free for a 74 yard touchdown.
