What to Know

Get ready for a Big Ten battle as Nebraska and Purdue will face off at noon ET on Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium. Nebraska doesn't have the home-field advantage, but they do enjoy a 3.5-point advantage in the spread.

The Cornhuskers were first on the board but had to settle for second at the end of their matchup against Indiana last week. The Cornhuskers took a 38-31 hit to the loss column at the hands of Indiana. Nebraska's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of WR Wan'Dale Robinson, who picked up 83 yards on the ground on 22 carries and caught six passes for 71 yards, and QB Noah Vedral, who accumulated 201 passing yards and punched in two rushing TDs. Robinson's performance made up for a slower game against Minnesota three weeks ago.

Meanwhile, the contest between Purdue and Illinois was not a total blowout, but with Purdue falling 24-6, it was darn close. Purdue was down by 24 to nothing at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.

The Cornhuskers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past five games.

With the two teams each stumbling in off of a loss, both will be hungry for the win. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Cornhuskers are 20th worst in the nation in rushing touchdowns allowed, with 18 on the season. But the Boilermakers are stumbling into the matchup with the third fewest rushing touchdowns in the nation, having accrued only four on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
