Despite being up 24-12 in the fourth quarter, Purdue allowed Nebraska to score two touchdowns, their only touchdowns of the game, in the fourth quarter, including the game winner with just :14 left in the game. It’s hard being a Purdue fan.
There’s no one thing to point to that caused Purdue to lose this game, as there hardly ever is, but there are a number of calls or decisions that you can look back on with regret and wonder what might have been had these plays gone differently.
For example, why did Purdue not go for the touchdown when they got to the Nebraska two yard line in the third quarter?
