Rutgers vs. Purdue: 3 keys to the game, X-factor, did you know

With a near even split of the stats, Purdue is completing 60 percent of passes for 246.8 yards per game with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Rutgers has an injury-riddled secondary with just one season-opening starter (cornerback Isaiah Wharton) still standing. By the time Illinois finally figured this out in the fourth quarter last week, it was too late to do anything but pad stats in a 300-yard passing game.

You can bet that Purdue will come out in four- and five-wide sets just to see if Rutgers' safeties and linebackers can match up.
