WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue’s offense managed points in a variety of styles in defeating Nebraska 55-45 on Saturday before an announced 31,351 fans at a damp and gloomy Ross-Ade Stadium.
A redshirt freshman quarterback, with no runs of longer than 13 yards this season, burst through a large hole on a draw play and ran 56 yards, untouched, for a touchdown.
That man, David Blough, also threw a beautiful, perfectly delivered 83-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver DeAngelo Yancy.
Nebraska defensive coordinator Mark Banker noted that against other teams, Blough often overthrew such passes or tossed them out of bounds.
