PISCATAWAY -- If at first you don't succeed ... make sure to get the ball to Raheem Blackshear.
That's the lesson Rutgers learned Saturday when offensive coordinator Jerry Kill called for a second try of a busted play designed for the speedy running back. The result was a 35-yard touchdown catch that served as the turning point for a 14-12 victory against Purdue.
Blackshear was open behind the defense on a wheel route late in the first half, but quarterback Giovanni Rescigno tripped over his own feet and never delivered the pass.
