5. Rondale Moore has at least two touchdown catches

Rondale Moore has been arguably the best freshman wide receiver in the entire country. Those thoughts were ingrained quite early in the season when he exploded for 313 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns against Northwestern in his first collegiate appearance.

His dependability only increased as the season progressed, and he is without a doubt the most dangerous weapon at the Boilermakers’ disposal.

This season, Moore has done just about everything on offense for Purdue. He mainly operates as a receiver but has also run the ball and served as a kick returner.

In 2018, he has hauled in a team-high 103 receptions for 1,164 yards and 12 receiving touchdowns. In addition, he has averaged 20 yards per kick return.

This season, Moore has five double-digit receptions games including the last game Purdue played against Indiana. In his last two performances, he has caught two touchdown passes each.

Therefore, a two-touchdown game isn’t all that farfetched when considering he is not only coming off consecutive multi-touchdown games and facing a No. 44 ranked Auburn defense.
