At least Purdue's struggles haven't been as heartbreaking as Nebraska's

The Boilermakers are still trying to get the offense on track under freshman quarterback David Blough.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Maybe it's appropriate that Nebraska is playing Purdue on Halloween.

The season has been a bit of a horror show for both teams at the bottom of the Big Ten West Division.

While the Cornhuskers are 17-1 in games played on Halloween, this team has lost five times this season by a combined total of 13 points.

According to STATS, Nebraska is only the second FBS team since 2006 to lose four games in which the opponent scored the winning points during the final 10 seconds or in overtime (SMU, 2007).
