WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Austin Dantin rushed for two touchdowns and passed for two more to lead Toledo past Purdue 31-20 on Saturday.

The sophomore quarterback totaled 64 yards on the ground and completed 21 of 31 passes for 209 yards for the Rockets (3-1), who won at Ross-Ade Stadium for the first time since 1992.

Rob Henry, filling in for an injured Robert Marve for the second straight week, threw for 140 yards, a touchdown and an interception for the Boilermakers (2-2), who were denied their first three-game winning streak since starting 5-0 in 2007.

Purdue rushed for more than 200 yards for the third straight game.

Toledo came in ranked last in the nation in total offense.

The Rockets registered 378 yards, 157 more than their season average.
