What’s at stake?
Nebraska’s undefeated streak came to an end with an overtime loss last week, causing them to drop out of the Top 25. This week, they will rely on star freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola in his first road game at the packed Ross-Ade Stadium. Meanwhile, Purdue is seeking to halt a two-game losing streak before facing tough opponents in Wisconsin and rival No. 19 Illinois.
Key matchup
The focus will be on Nebraska’s ground game against Purdue’s run defense. While Nebraska hasn’t leaned heavily on a traditional ground-and-pound strategy this season, they may need to adjust following a mere 50 rushing yards in a recent loss to then No. 24 Illinois. Purdue’s run defense has been struggling, allowing 269.0 rushing yards per game, the third-highest in the FBS.
Players to watch
For Nebraska, linebacker John Bullock has been outstanding, recording a career-high nine tackles in consecutive games. He has also achieved a sack and forced a fumble, setting up a touchdown against Illinois. He leads the Huskers in tackles after four games, with two sacks, four tackles for loss, and three pass breakups.
