WR Jackson Anthrop scored on this fantastic trick play. The play resulted in the B1G Network’s Week 10 Play of the Week.
Anthrop on the day had 6 catches for 80 yards on 13.3 yards per carry and a touchdown. He also carried the ball 5 times for 14 yards.
Anthrop, this season for the Boilermakers, has 34 catches for 316 yards on 9.3 yards per reception and 2 touchdowns. He has 15 carries for 61 yards on 4.1 yards per carry.
Purdue is now 6-3 on the season and 4-2 in B1G play. While they have 2 massive wins over Iowa and Michigan State, the loss against Wisconsin hurts in the B1G West race.
The Spoilermakers are on the road this weekend and are playing No. 5 Ohio State at 3:30 ET on ABC.
