Last season Purdue got its first ever win in Lincoln as it took advance of a rebuilding Nebraska under Scott Frost. Now Purdue is really up against it, needing to win its last four games of the season to reach .500 and a bowl game after disappointing losses to Nevada and Illinois this year. Let’s face it, we expected Purdue to at least be 4-4 at this point, but it was not meant to be.
Nebraska is having their own issues, as they are coming off of a home loss to Indiana and have had nearly as many injuries as Purdue to this point.
