Bet the farm on Huskers.

Does Purdue have a defensive line? Like literally, at all? Because any opponent that has one is gonna be a really hard game for us.

I don't know about that.

 

Regardless, I stop betting on the Huskers while TO was still in charge (not that I really gamble anyway). I'd always bet with my heart instead of my head and came out poorer for it.

I'm hoping you don't actually have a farm to bet.

Granted Minny didn’t have their RB1, but Purdue held the Gophs to <50 yards rushing.

Huskers win, 20-19. Defense gets game-winning safety. 

[Decked]

Corners/safetys gonna get exposed this week me thinks

So, they make a 2 point conversion at some point?

6 FGs and a safety to 4 FGs and a TD.

Honestly I don’t see us winning back to back to back BiG games. We haven’t done it since 2016. And we haven’t won back to back road games since….2006?! I dunno I’d like to say we are due but we haven’t had Purdues number for the last 100 years like we have had Rutgers. That and they are better at almost every stat that matters, we may get blown out if the Oline doesn’t magically learn how to pass pro by next week. Although the spread has gone from 13.5 to 12 so there’s that..

Throw out our stats from Chinander. It’s a different year.
