Last week Purdue was pretty much in control throughout. Boston College scored on its second drive to tie it, but from there Purdue’s defense put on the clamps and didn’t give up anything until late in the fourth quarter.
Today was different. It was about recovery. Purdue had to answer a lot of different challenges throughout. There is no question Nebraska is not the Nebraska of old. This lose marked the first time in their history they have lost eight consecutive games. Still, there is some cachet in Nebraska. They have a passionate fanbase that makes it tough to play.
