Purdue fan commentary

You should only have to throw about 5 passes all game. 300 yards on the ground would be expected.
We have a break defense, it doesn’t even bend.
It is a major problem. No one to set the edge with Jenkins at ILB and scourton leaving the coaches high and dry. Issue is outside of Karlaftis, all the other ILB’ers are hurt. OLB and ILB is in rough shape.
It’s a fair point. Like I said, get #1 CB back for this game and Purdue seems to rush the passer fairly well again.
Agreed....but does Purdue count as a hostile environment? It'll be 1/3 Nebraska fans....
Yep!
1. It will not be sold out
2. It is 11am so the students will not be there
3. 10,000 Husker fans for sure
That’s fine to assume Nebraska doesn’t have good passing QB and a couple of speed burners at WR
Drop a shot of whisky into a glass of beer and chug it
The problem I see is whoever plays Nebraska their QB usually seems to put it all together and looks like an all American it most likely a combination of good game prep, good schemes, and our corners playing 5-10 yards off the line. With that we always leave the underneath routs especially quick slants wide open. Once an offense gets in a rhythm against us the fragile minds kick in and the collective thought of here we go again kicks in.
With that said I do think we have a coach that is trying to fix that mindset, but given what I’ve seen the past two weeks this game will be more of a pillow fight with the game being much closer than it should be.
I’ll go 21-13 huskers

I never would have guessed when we joined the B1G that Purdue football fans would be as weird and obsessed with us as they are. All 8 of them
I hate this ****ing conference!
Yes, there's no reason for us to be here except for money....which makes me sad.
If I ever have the misfortune of being close to that drum, that’s a great idea
I agree. Really want to see us three years from when the fragile psychies and the losing culture have all but moved on. SF absolutely f’d this program up. Anybody that hires that idiot should just pay him in beer and Skoal bandits unless they just like pissing money down the toilet!
You are bragging about living four miles from the beach? 😂 Also, the banks of the Mississippi do not qualify as beaches.
I'm gonna say Nebraska 21, Purdue 17. Nebraska's lack of a competent kicker will cost us some points and field position-- missed FG attempts or going for it on 4th & long when you shouldn't have to. Purdue cannot stop a running QB, but Nebraska doesn't run their QB. Our passing game seems to work better against man to man which Purdue prefers to play. So that could be a good thing. Once again, I think NU tries to pass in order to set up the run.
Our defensive line has come down to earth- the two bigs suddenly have conditioning issues and Butler's snaps have been limited due to injury. Did Van Poppel travel with the team? Maybe he uses this game as one of his four?
It's gonna come down to big plays. If we're able to score from 30+ yards out or get a defensive TD, we could win by double digits. At the same time, if Purdue is able to win the turnover battle or get a cheap score, we'll be in for another dog fight.
Had the Big 8/12 been smarter or proactive they could have been the first to act. Oh well, It doesn't matter now.
Purdue is the poster child of why the big ten sucks.
Has never done anything but still acts prestigious.
Boring program with a university and alum base that couldnt caee less about actually playing football, awful stadium with ugly uniforms to boot.
Such a lame game. Was more excited for UNI.

This is such a good way to put it...
I grew up in the Chicago area and even being that close to Purdue, the coverage was all about ND, Michigan, Ohio State, Illinois and some NW stuff. Never anything about Purdue.
Most of the teams int he Big Ten are what I call "background noise" Basically they are "Murder, She Wrote" or "JAG". For years and years it is just bad teams that were on TV during saturday afternoon, your old man would have it on while he napped.
Similar to a Cornhusker accept cooler.
Actually, the story is that it was originally coined by another teams local newspaper to describe the Purdue football players, many of whom worked for the railroad company and worked with the steel and driving the spikes.. Thus, the train.
Just for transparency, I have little confidence in Purdue putting it together for 4 Q. Could be close for a half or through 3, but a couple big plays will likely blow it open for NU
On the list of things I think about, the Nebraska University is about 849th, and that’s even during the week we play them.
Nebraska should be lighting candles and thanking Jesus that they got into the B10 when they did. Otherwise, you’d be in the outside looking in and forming a second level conference with the likes of Iowa State, Colorado State, and Nevada.
At least our most famous alumnus isn’t Lawrence Phillips, famous for all the wrong reasons.
NU was a huge mistake by the B10 leadership letting them in: no name recognition, no prestige, no TV value and definitely not a place people want to see.
No sir - we are a blueblood and continue to have an amazing following. There is no doubt even in the current climate we would be in the SEC or the B1G even if we moved today.
Who is your most famous alumnus? Brees?
Yeah all the Heisman winners we have had and Suh and Tommie - you are clueless.
