Huskers Put Up Nearly 600 Total Yards Against Purdue

Devine Ozigbo rushed for a career-high 170 yards on 17 carries with two touchdowns and Adrian Martinez put up his first career 300-yard passing game, but the Nebraska football team came up short in a 42-28 setback to Purdue Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Martinez, making his second home start of his career, accounted for 414 yards of total offense (323 passing, 91 rushing), as Nebraska racked up a season-high 582 yards of total offense as a team, outdistancing the Boilermakers' high-powered offense 582-516. It marked the third consecutive home game that Nebraska out-yarded the opposition but came up on the wrong end of the scoreboard.
