Purdue's Raheem Mostert Named Big Ten Freshman of the Week

Very few positives can come out of Purdue's 62-17 loss at Wisconsin on Saturday, especially when the Boilermakers gave up a school record in points. Perhaps the lone bright spot was freshman kickoff returner Raheem Mostert, who torched the Badgers for multiple big returns to set up two of Purdue's scores. He was honored for his effort Monday morning with the Big Ten's Freshman of the Week Award:
