WHAT’S AT STAKE?
The Cornhuskers’ perfect start ended with an overtime loss last week, which knocked them out of the Top 25. This week, they’ll ask star freshman QB Dylan Raiola to help them rebound in his first road game — at a sold out Ross-Ade Stadium that promises to be painted in red. Purdue has lost two straight and needs a win before playing back-to-back games at Wisconsin, where it has historically struggled, and at rival No. 19 Illinois.
KEY MATCHUP
Nebraska’s ground game vs. Purdue’s run defense. No, Nebraska hasn’t adopted its old-school ground and pound theory — yet this season. Perhaps that changes this weekend. After rushing for 50 yards in a 31-24 loss to then No. 24 Illinois, a temporary change could be coming. Purdue is allowing 269.0 yards rushing per game, the third-highest total in the FBS. Until Purdue proves it can stop the run, opponents are going to keep it on the ground.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Nebraska: LB John Bullock has played at an all-conference level so far, making a career-high nine tackles in back-to-back games. He also had a sack and forced a fumble to set up a ‘Huskers TD last week against Illinois. Through four games, he leads the Huskers in tackles, has two sacks, four tackles for loss and three pass breakups.
