Rutgers v. Purdue: Special Teams Review

Related Topics: American football position

The stadium was roaring, cheering on a defense that as usual, had kept their team in the game, despite less than stellar offense production. Rutgers was two points away from their second B1G victory of season, and the first back to back winning streak since joining the conference in 2014. My heart was in my throat, a feeling seconded by those around me. Was it really going to come down to a 2-pt conversion? Could the defense keep the Boilermakers out of the end zone one last time? My old Scarlet Knights wouldn’t have, and another close game and strident effort would have been for naught.
