Saturday’s game between Nebraska and Purdue will feature two teams playing for different goals this season.

For the Cornhuskers and Scott Frost, they can eclipse 2018’s win total with a victory against Purdue. A win would push Nebraska to 5-4 and just one game shy of a bowl berth. Though the B1G West is likely out of reach, showing improvement in Year 2 under Frost is important.

For the Boilermakers, they need a win to keep their slim bowl hopes alive. After a dramatic 2018 season saw Jeff Brohm become one of the hottest coaching names around, 2019 has been a letdown. Part of that is due to key injuries and youth, but no one is able to overlook a 2-6 record.
