Before beginning this I want to make sure Trey Palmer is safely back in Lincoln. That man was a menace last night with 297 yards from scrimmage. He was a terror for us to contain all night long and we’re lucky he didn’t get the ball back one more time thanks to Aidan O’Vick’s fourth down scramble for the game clinching first down.
Palmer is the reason it was still a ballgame, as the Purdue offense had probably its best game of the season so far. There was actual run/pass balance and Devin Mockobee continues to audition for a scholarship.
