Purdue football games are never easy. Despite going up 27-10 in the first half those of us who are Purdue fans know that this game wasn’t even close to over. We were of course right. The Purdue defense was sterling in the third quarter against Maryland. This week in the third quarter against Nebraska they were the opposite of sterling, umm tarnished? Purdue gave up multiple 30+ yard passes, and one such long run, to keep Nebraska in this game.
The Purdue offense hummed along all game including having the best running day of the season. Mockobee played like a seasoned professional and was there time after time.
