WATCH: Purdue works flea-flicker to perfection
Purdue QB David Blough has had a tremendous past couple of weeks.
The Boilermakers got their first win with Blough running the show — as QB Elijah Sindelar, who he was sharing duties with, was recovering from an injury. Despite Blough’s success through the air, a little trickery never hurt anybody.
Except on this play against Nebraska, the trickery hurt the Huskers.
Take a look at Purdue put this flea-flicker in action and execute it perfectly in the first quarter:

After Blough gives it to RB Markell Jones, Jones flips it back to his QB. Blough does the rest, floating a ball past the defense to WR Isaac Zico. The play itself may not have ended in the end-zone, but the Boilermakers got 3 points on the drive to take the lead.
Purdue currently owns a 17-7 advantage over Nebraska in the second quarter. The game can be seen on BTN.
