GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 9 • 12 1 Can Purdue simply compete against the run? The way Ne- braska tramples people and the way the Boilermakers got trampled the past two games, it's probably the best that can be hoped for. 2 Will the Cornhuskers keep exploiting a big-play-vulnerable Purdue pass defense? The Boilermakers have really struggled against the pass lately and Nebraska's dominant ground game and its quarterback's big arm might make for some prime play- action opportunities. 3 Was it a good time for a bye week or bad time? Purdue's defense needed the break badly from a physical perspective, but its of- fense had so much momentum going prior to the weekend off. 4 What did the bye week mean for a regrouping Purdue defense that not only needed to get physically well but needed to con- tinue acclimating to life without Sean Robinson? 5 Can the offense sustain its recent productivity? Again, there was so much momentum and so much obvious confidence before the bye, but is it due for a drop-off one of these weeks? — Brian Neubert Stats are from 2014.
