Predictions
Chris Iseman, Rutgers beat author
Unquestionably Rutgers requires a victory and possesses performed well in the last number of games, but Purdue’s an excellent team with many likely most likely probably the most explosive offenses within the Big Ten, including Moore. The Scarlet Knights’ secondary, which has been sporadic, will most likely be tested. This is often another close loss for Rutgers. Purdue 30, Rutgers 27
Steve Edelson, sports columnist
What’s clearly been established is the fact Rutgers is a lot more more appropriate, and coached than anytime recently. They are competitive and fun to look at. The issue now’s when will that cause victories. Not, but soon. Purdue 27, Rutgers 17.

Despite their 1-4 record, give you the Scarlet Knights credit just like a competitive team within the Big Ten this year. This can be among individuals games that Rutgers truly posseses an possibility of winning. They’ll see it close, but regrettably, will come up just short again. Purdue 24, Rutgers 20
Bob Jordan, USA TODAY Network Atlantic Region deputy sports director
George W. Plant was president the best time a Rutgers team coached by Greg Schiano began a season 1-4 (2002). I do not like where this year goes. Purdue 24, Rutgers 10
Zach Miller, NorthJersey.com deputy sports director
All Purdue’s games this year are really made the decision by seven points or fewer. The Boilermakers got conned a few days ago every time a phantom pass interference was known as on their own winning touchdown within the finish zone. Rutgers hangs inside, but suffers another close loss. Purdue 31, Rutgers 24
