Nebraska at #21 Purdue: Preview, Odds, & How to Watch
Marc Lebryk-USA TODAY SportsWell, Purdue survived its trip to Minnesota, but just barely. The Golden Gophers may be winless in conference play like Rutgers, but their track record is much tougher than that of the Scarlet Knights. Minnesota has played Indiana within 7, Purdue within 4, Michigan State within 8, and beat a scorching hot Clemson team all at home. The record may not say much, but at least they play hard. We also ascribe to the "Every win is beautiful" theory here, so you can only say so much about the fact that Purdue looked awful for long stretches and really only won becuase Minnesota is pretty bad.
Yes, those are some hardcore apologetics.
