Purdue will prevail. 

I *think* we can keep their points down to a reasonable degree, because our front seven on D is better than their OL. We should be able to get after Blough. 

Our OL is atrocious though. We haven't played a good quarter of offense since the first half against Colorado, who didn't have a concrete idea of what we would be doing at kickoff, and I don;t expect that to change this week. 

Purdue 30
Nebraska 16

even with all the disappointment so far, I might attend this game.

Going to be playing golf in Omaha Sunday morning anyway.

Frost didn't say the Huskers were going to win, he didn't say Purdue sucks.  Maybe he should say some things to motivate his team.

Purdue 27
Nebraska 19

But it's clearly them saying that Purdue is "just Purdue". Michigan's a real football team. But Purdue is a half-step above the MAC, so Nebraska is just supposed to dominate?

Ya your team should want it anyway it's just I can see Steve Spurrier somewhere thinking damn why didn't I think of that

and yet Frost didn't even say dominate, or whoop, or handle, or anything.  He said they play an opponent and can win a football game.  Others would be choosing to interpret that as a slight against Purdue.    Perhaps Vegas is slighting Purdue with a -3 line?

When our new Power Rankings come out it looks like Nebraska will be roughly tied for 12th/13th while Purdue will be in 9th so this isn't likely to have any impact on the B1GCG but it is huge for both teams' bowl hopes.  

For Nebraska:
The Huskers are in serious trouble.  They are 0-3 and it appears unlikely that they'll schedule a replacement for Akron so they would need to finish 6-2 to get to 6-5 and definite eligibility or 5-3 to get to 5-6 and possible eligibility.  Neither of those things are likely but finishing 6-1 or 5-2 after losing this game is even less likely so they have to win here to even have a plausible chance.  

For Purdue:  
Those three close early losses could come back to cost the Boilermakers a chance to go bowling.  They are 1-3 and need to finish 5-3 to get to 6-6 and definite eligibility or 4-4 to get to 5-7 and possible eligibility.  Those are definitely possible especially with Illinois and Minnesota still on the schedule but finishing 5-2 or 4-3 after losing this game would be very unlikely.
