00:00Let's go to a big 10 battle. Nebraska off its first loss of the season last Friday night
00:09in the ranked matchup against Illinois. How do they respond against Purdue? Lee Seaguy
00:14north of double digits, 10 and a half in favor of the Huskers on the road in West Lafayette.
00:19The odds makers expecting some resilience out of Matt Rule and company. What say you?
00:23Well, I think Nebraska might win. They dominated this ball game last year by double digits,
00:28four of the last six in the series have been won by Purdue. Top two receivers potentially
00:33out for Hudson Card in that offense. That's why you're seeing the line. But I'll take
00:37a shot with the Boilermakers catching double digits at home. I think they keep it within
00:41the number, Kev. Right now, the results from Purdue are they might be the worst defense
00:46in the entire big 10 back to back weeks of giving up throw back to back games of giving
00:50up 340 plus yards on the ground. I think it is a lot to lay with Nebraska. I would bet
00:55their team total if I was going to get involved in this game. But the numbers a little too
00:59inflated. Listen, Purdue is struggling defensively, especially defending the rush. They are the
01:03worst power for rushing defense in the country, allowing nearly 270 on the ground. 341 allowed
01:10last week against Oregon State 362 against Notre Dame against FBS and Power Conference
01:15competition 351 yards per game on the ground for Purdue. They've been an underdog in both
01:22of those games against FBS foes this year. 0-2 against the spread. You talked about the
01:27Boilermakers under Jeff Braum, under Ryan Walters, 4-7 against the spread as an underdog
01:33since he took the reins last year in 2023.
