Nebraska had the week off following their loss to Minnesota two weeks ago.

They will host Purdue this week, a game they’ll need to win if they hope to make a bowl game, with Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Iowa still on the schedule.

Scott Frost is likely on the hot seat and needs to win as many games as possible. They’ve been competitive in every game, which is a sign that they’re at least coming to play every week.

That fight makes them a scary team to play on a given Saturday.
