This week on the Overreaction Revisited Podcast, Hoss and Greg discuss the Nebraska-Purdue game from October 28, 2023.
Hoss states that “weird things happen around Halloween.” That is what turned a 24-0 lead into a 24-14 lead and gave the Boilermakers a little hope late in the game.
While the offense was sharp for three quarters, fatigue had to have set in and mistakes were made in the fourth frame. Purdue scored all of their points off of turnovers, making the score closer than it seemed and the defensive effort lesser.
The Blackshirts held the Boilermakers to under 200 yards of total offense, and as Hoss put it, despite the end-of-game weariness, it was perhaps the most complete game of the season.
