Nebraska vs. Purdue: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Saturday's NCAA Football game
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Nebraska vs. Purdue football game
The Purdue Boilermakers will head out on the road to face off against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Tom Osborne Field at Memorial Stadium. Purdue is expected to lose this one by two points, so we'll see if that gives them a bit of motivation.
Purdue gave up the first points and the most points two weeks ago. They were dealt a punishing 41-7 loss at the hands of Ohio State. Purdue was in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 20-0.
Meanwhile, Nebraska was not the first on the board last Saturday, but they got there more often. They came out on top against Northwestern by a score of 17-9. The win made it back-to-back wins for Nebraska.
Nobody from Nebraska had a standout game, but they got scores from Heinrich Haarberg and Malachi Coleman.
Nebraska's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB eight times. Leading the way was Nash Hutmacher and his 2.5 sacks.
This is the second loss in a row for Purdue and nudges their season record down to 2-5. That poor showing could be blamed on the team's lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 10.5 points per game. As for Nebraska, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 4-3 record this season.
While only Purdue took care of their fans the last time they played, neither team managed to cover. Looking forward, Nebraska is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by two points. For those looking to play the spread, watch out: Purdue is playing as the underdog, but their 1-4 record against the spread as such isn't exactly encouraging.
Purdue didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Nebraska in their previous matchup back in October of 2022, but they still walked away with a 43-37 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Nebraska's Trey Palmer, who picked up 237 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Now that he won't be playing on Saturday, will it be that much easier for Purdue to walk away with another win? Check CBSSports.com after the match to find out.
