GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 7 • 33 clinching win over Indiana on Nov. 18, 2000. It was the most yards in any game since Ralph Bolden's 234-yard performance in the 2009 season opener against Toledo. The yardage covered by Hunt's touchdown run at Illinois earned this uncommon distinction: He has recorded at least one run of 50 or more yards in all four of his seasons at Purdue. He broke off a 50-yard run against Indiana as a true freshman in 2011, then posted longs of 81 and 62 yards as a sophomore and junior, respectively. Hunt's the only Boilermaker to record a 50-or-more-yard run in four different seasons at Purdue since freshman eligibility in 1972 and very likely is the only player in school history to do so. Kory Sheets did it three out of four seasons; Otis Armstrong did it every year he played, but he played only three seasons prior to freshman eligibility. R It was Purdue's first double- digit road victory in conference play since a 45-31 win at Minne - sota on Sept. 22, 2007. R Talented Illinois freshman Mike Dudek became the first Boil- ermaker opposing receiver to have 200 yards since Penn State's Bobby Ingram (203) in 1995. R Danny Anthrop became the first Boilermaker to have multi- ple touchdown receptions of 80 or more yards in a career dating back to Brian Alford, who did it twice in the same game at Minnesota in 1997. Anthrop had an 80-yard touchdown catch at IU last year be- fore repeating the same distance this year at Illinois. j Minnesota David Cobb ranks fourth in the Big Ten in rushing. The Gophers are next up on Purdue's schedule at noon on Oct. 18 in Minneapolis.
