Rutgers mounted an impressive fourth-quarter comeback to stun Purdue 27-24 on Jai Patel's game-winning 30-yard field goal as time expired. The Scarlet Knights overcame an early 10-0 deficit, with quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis leading the charge through a 72-yard touchdown strike to KJ Duff and a crucial go-ahead rushing touchdown. Purdue briefly reclaimed the lead on Ryan Browne's 14-yard touchdown pass to Nitro Tuggle before Patel's heroics sealed the road victory at Ross-Ade Stadium.
