Nebraska football at Purdue: Live updates


Hello from West Lafayette, Indiana, where the sky is gray and the temperature is hovering around the high 60s. Considering rain has been in the forecast all week: we’ll take this.

Nebraska (3-1) is getting set for its first road game of the season at Purdue (1-2). The Huskers are coming off an overtime loss to Illinois last Friday at Memorial Stadium.

The betting line favors Nebraska by roughly nine points, depending on the sportsbook.

Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. central, and the game will be streamed on Peacock.

9:40 a.m. It’s grey and dreary at Ross-Ade Stadium. Temperature in the high 60s-low 70s. The rain appears to be holding off for now, which is a positive. Wind starting to tick up a little bit.

9:22 a.m. Nebraska inactive players: Tristan Alvano, Rahmir Stewart, Micah Mazzccua, Stefon Thompson, Turner Corcoran. Notably, Javin Wright is not listed on the injury report for the first time this season, and he’s here in West Lafayette. All signs point to the linebacker making his season debut this afternoon.
