When Purdue and Nebraska played last season things quickly turned south for both teams. The Boilers played a closer-than-the-score-looked game, but lost Danny Anthrop for the season with a torn ACL. The offense was never the same after that. Nebraska won to move to 8-1, but lost three of its final three games and Bo Pelini was fired for the egregious sin of not winning more than nine games. Ameer Abdullah also was hampered with a knee injury early against Purdue.
Now the Cornhuskers are back, and they are the most consistent team in the Big Ten as we head into 2015.
