That play will likely be shown on a bunch of highlight reels throughout the day as well as one of the plays of the game.
After that play, Purdue would end up scoring the game’s opening touchdown as quarterback Jack Plummer found receiver Payne Durham in the endzone. Here’s a clip of that touchdown:

Shortly after that touchdown though, Rutgers was able to get right back in the game thanks to a receiving touchdown from Shameen Jones.
