After Rutgers took down Purdue to get to 2-4 on the season, their locker room after the game was absolutely on fire.

Rutgers was celebrating a 37-30 victory over Purdue in Week 6, getting its first win since defeating Michigan State in the opening week of the season. As you can imagine, there was plenty of chopping happening inside the locker room.

Here’s the video of the celebration, courtesy of the Scarlet Knights official Twitter account for football:

The way in which they got that win is why Rutgers is so fired up as they had to come back from down two possessions not once, but twice in this game. They were down 23-13 going into halftime and then 30-20 in the third quarter before scoring the game’s last 17 points.

Rutgers also used two quarterbacks in this game and combined, they had three passing touchdowns. Artur Sitkowski went 18-for-27 for 141 yards and two touchdowns while Johnny Langan went four-for-four for 95 yards and one touchdown pass.

Shameen Jones had two of the receiving touchdowns and overall, he finished with eight catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns.

Up next for Rutgers is a date with Penn State next Saturday.
