Nebraska Football: Who Doesn’t Love BOILERMAKERS? It’s the PURDUE Q&A!

So it’s 2017 and Purdue is favored by 5.5 over Nebraska. Maybe this will help explain how such things come to pass.

So, the bye week ended, Purdue narrowly lost to Rutgers and Husker fans awoke to a betting line showing said Purdue team as a 5.5 point over Nebraska and mostly just nodded and said “sounds about right”. Purdue looks to have at least turned around their competitive fire in short order but what else is going on in West Lafayette?

Travis Miller of Hammer & Rails was gracious enough to answer some of our questions and shared his thoughts on subjects such as new HC Jeff Brohm, the agonizing loss to Rutgers, their own experience with the defensive mind of Ross Els (should sound familiar), Stephen Hawking’s ability to run against said defense and who he thinks is coming away with the “W” Saturday night. Many thanks to Travis for his time!

1) We are being told by some in Nebraska following a seven-year 66-27 run under Bo Pelini, that we should trust the Riley process in place now which -three years later – includes a loss to Northern Illinois, blowout losses to Wisconsin & Ohio St. (with another at Penn St on the horizon.) and a 2nd losing season in the last three highly likely. Knowing this, how disappointing is it that Jeff Brohm has ignored this fine blueprint by coming in, being competitive immediately with inherited talent and slugging it out pretty well with 3 ranked teams?
