Saunders Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 A night game, at Purdue, on Halloween weekend. What could go wrong? 3 Quote Link to comment

They get a lot of mileage this year out of "not being Purdue". Wisconsin vastly outplays them, but messes up so much that the score looks close. Michigan and that terrible offense "only beats them by 18" and "Purdue led at halftime". They also had a net of 10 yards in the second half. Michigan has a good defense, maybe even a great one, but you don't hold someone to 10 yards, they have to help. I'm not saying Nebraska can't lose to Purdue, but Purdue has been put on such a pedestal of low expectations that their actual accomplishments don't match perception. 1 Quote Link to comment

Purdue is also the type of offense that has eviscerated Diaco's D this year. And if Riley has lost the team (which I'm starting to think is happening), then it could be a Halloween massacre. 1 Quote Link to comment

Roll Skers Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Purdue wins this one 49-31, and Tanner Lee looks like Ryker Fyfe in the game, eerily similar to the 2015 game Edited October 16, 2017 by skers44 Quote Link to comment
husker_fan_from_sweden Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Hey maybe we can keep our night game streak going. Oh wait, that would be 2 weeks too late and the wrong kind of streak. Edited October 16, 2017 by husker_fan_from_sweden 3 Quote Link to comment

Isle of View Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 We will likely open at around a 6 point underdog. Quote Link to comment

I'll say the same thing I said the other day...we win these next three games if we want to. 1 Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 What do we know about Purdue? What kind of offense do they run? What is their defense like? Special teams any good? (Ahhh! So glad to be talking about football again although the new AD and new coaches discussion was fun too it's nice to talk football again!) Quote Link to comment
