Leads wideouts in gritty win Jones recorded six receptions (10 targets) for 55 yards during Saturday's 20-10 win over Minnesota. Impact Jones once again served as the Boilermakers' clear top receiving option as starting signal-caller Aidan O'Connell (27-of-40 passing, 199 yards, two interceptions) made his return from an upper body injury against the Golden Gophers' stout defense. The transfer wideout was limited to a season-low 55 receiving yards, though he hauled in a crucial 28-yard reception to help set up a 25-yard field goal, which put Purdue up 13-10 late in the fourth quarter. Jones has now been targeted at least 10 times in every game this season, and he currently leads the Big Ten in receptions (47), yards (588) and receiving touchdowns (sevens) through five games.
