Report Card: Purdue Boilermakers 55, Team Impersonating Nebraska 45

A lot of people thought Nebraska's game against Purdue reminded them of an Iowa State game in 1992. Me, this reminded me of a game against Kansas.

In 2007.

In that game, a quarterback was making the first start of his career, and really seeing the first significant playing time of his college career. In the second quarter, his coaches decided to abandon the run and go to the air. Nebraska ran the ball just once in the second quarter, and threw 17 passes. The third quarter wasn't much better as Nebraska rushed the ball just four times with another 17 passes in the third quarter.
