Purdue defeated an 0-3 team Saturday. But for the Boilermakers, getting their first victory at Memorial Stadium was still big.
“I think it’s a huge win for us,” said coach Jeff Blohm. “I don’t care what Nebraska’s record is, coming into this venue against a football team that’s on the ropes a bit and came out swinging. We were able to match that punch-for-punch and get the lead a little. Every team in our conference is going to be a challenge. Anytime you go on the road is going to be a challenge. When you play here in this historic venue where it’s sold out 364 games in a row, that’s impressive.
