Purdue’s Rondale Moore receives national recognition after explosive performance vs. Ohio State
Published:
The national recognition is already pouring in for Purdue receiver Rondale Moore.
Monday morning, Moore was named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for his explosive performance against Ohio State on Saturday night. He’s been named to the Honor Roll multiple times this season.
Moore totaled 252 all-purpose yards against the Buckeyes and was virtually unstoppable most of the evening. He did his best work as a receiver, catching 12 passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns.
Purdue defeated No. 2 Ohio State 49-20.
Probably not the last time you'll hear from us today 😉

Moore is the B1G leader in receiving yards (728), all-purpose yards (1,259) and has scored eight touchdowns. His seven receiving touchdowns ranks second in the conference.
After an 0-3 start to the year, the Boilermakers have won their last four games and are 3-1 in B1G play. Moore has been a critical part of that success.
The Boilers have another big test next Saturday, traveling to East Lansing to take on Michigan State.
