Report Card: Purdue 55, Nebraska 45

RUNNING GAME (D)

Terrell Newby left early with an injury, and Nebraska’s running game wasn’t quite the same. Newby missed an obvious hole on one early run but also picked up 22 yards on a nice stretch play. Nebraska missed Tommy Armstrong in the running game immensely, and with Newby and Armstrong out, and then De'Mornay Pierson-El leaving with injury, suddenly, that’s a lot of potential ground yardage gone poof.

PASSING GAME (C)

Yes, Ryker Fyfe threw for 407 yards. Many came late, as Nebraska rallied from a big deficit. He also threw four interceptions and accounted for five turnovers overall.
