    Huge play this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I know most of you will ignore this post. I know people will criticize me if I say this game is a LOCK! Yes, I'm a fan, however that doesn't mean I don't bet AGAINST NEBRASKA. Taylor Martinez is still out. Tommy Armstrong will make his 3rd start. Bo's a defensive minded guy and has been focused on making this young defense better. Purdue is horrible. Their freshman QB will be making his first start. This is the battle of the freshman QBs. Tommy Armstrong has not had a turnover and has Nebraska fans talking about a QB controversy when Martinez comes back. Purdues freshman Etling was 19-39 with 2 tds and 2 ints last week against Northern Illinois. Purdue is all excited because they scored 24 points last week and they think things are getting better! Purdue is next to last in red zone scoring. In 16 visits in the red zone they have scored 10 times. They turn the ball over. They have no defense. They lost to Wisconsin by 31 and Cin by 25. They hung in with Notre Dame but that is a HUGE rivalry game for them. Notre Dame had a horrible game and had to score 21 points in the 4th quarter to rally and win. Purdue only had 294 yards offense in that game. If you think that Purdue being at home is going to matter.... it wont. There will be just as much red in the stadium. Nebraska has never played in Purdue and Nebraska fans are traveling to this game. I can not think of ONE reason Nebraska wont win by 28. Nebraska has a bye week next week.... so they aren't looking ahead to anyone else. I'm betting huge on this game. I say Nebraska 52 Purdue 20

    When I looked at the lines for the first time on Sunday this was the first game that stood out. Then I looked deeper into and I think Purdue give a strong performance. They have the extra time to prep and now the film is out on Armstrong. Cornhuskers prob still roll but, I decided to stay away.

      Armstrong really doesn't do anything exciting. He doesn't have the speed that Martinez has. Hes a better passer. They have limited his play selections. Nebraska runs the read option so I don't really think that watching tape on him will help them. The key to the read option is to make the correct decisions. Nebraska will also play Ron Kellogg in the game again. If this game was in Michigan or Wisconsin I would have a totally different take. Another interesting note for you...... Nebraska has no punted yet with Armstrong at QB.

        The biggest problem I have with this play is your analysis (as well as score prediction) seems to be based upon the fact that Nebraska that you perceive Nebraska's offense under Armstrong to be as efficient as NIU's under lynch- that is a laughable assertion. Whats the spread on this?

            I also think Nebraska's defense will account for a score or 2 against a freshman qb that threw 2 picks against N Ill

                Maybe my score prediction is a little high. Nebraska slowed down the mighty scoring offense of Illinois last week and held them to 19 points. Does this make you feel better?? NEBRASKA 34 Purdue 13
