This was a solid week of football. The Penn State-Ohio State game was pretty good. Purdue won, which is always good. Northwestern blew a three-score lead and contributed to a bizarre trend: that every team who has beaten Purdue has not won since. They are a combined 0-7.
Onto the Whistlestop Tour:
Purdue 42, Nebraska 28
Our friends at boiled Sports bought into the whole “It’s a winnable game” moment and owned it:
It felt weird, but there wasn’t much behind-the-scenes nervous energy before the game. We were confident: this team was better than their 1-3 record, and though Frost will assuredly bring Nebraska around quickly, they’re floundering right now.
