Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Purdue Boilermakers Match Details

Fixture: Nebraska Cornhuskers @ Purdue Boilermakers

Date & Time: Saturday, October 15; 7:30 pm EST

Venue: Ross-Ade Stadium, Indiana

The Boilermakers are on a three-game win streak and are in second place in the B10 West standings, behind the Illinois Fighting Illini. Their great start to the season can be partly credited to Aidan O'Connell, whose performances have been quite brilliant.

He has put up great numbers thus far and could prove to be the catalyst for the Cornhuskers. O'Connell has racked up 1559 passing yards this season, over six games, averaging 266 yards per game.

He has thrown ten touchdowns this campaign and has a passing accuracy of 66.5%. He had a particularly incredible outing against the Indiana State Sycamores, where he completed a whopping 89.5% of his passes and threw four touchdowns. His QBR this season is 80.2, ranking him in the top 15.

Casey Thompson, of the Cornhuskers, could prove to be a tough nut to crack for the Boilermakers, as his performances have also been very impressive.

His numbers don't come quite close to his counterpart, O'Connell's, but they are still quite good. Thompson has thrown nine touchdowns over 1497 passing yards this campaign and completed 65.6% of his passes. His team has been quite up and down lately, but they are slowly garnering momentum.


Cornhuskers vs Boilermakers Final Prediction

The Purdue side are the strong favorites in this one. Their recent form as well as overall season performance has been quite good.

The quarterback battle between O’Connell and Thompson should be exciting, but O’Connell is favored to win the battle. The spread dictates that the Boilermakers are the stronger bet (-14)

Purdue Boilermakers: -14
