Boilermakers . 7. team. 848. . 5-3 (3-2).

Purdue recovered from its loss a week earlier to beat Nebraska 28-23.

Aidan O’Connell continues to impress as a passer as he completed 34 of 45 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns. The defense played a huge role in this one too, as they picked off Adrian Martinez four times, returning one for a touchdown.

This team is so hit or miss, and that’s what makes them intriguing to follow. They host No. 3 Michigan State this week, and we know how much the Boilermakers love a good upset, this will be a game to keep an eye on.
