Nebraska Cornhuskers dismantled the Purdue Boilermakers with a decisive 28-10 victory in West Lafayette, marking a pivotal Big Ten showdown. The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm, culminating in a scoreless first half—a rarity last witnessed in Purdue's history back in 1993 against Notre Dame. Both teams were plagued by penalties and the Cornhuskers' field goal attempts were thwarted twice by Purdue blocks, exemplifying a standoff-first half.
The second half shifted dramatically with Purdue striking first through Spencer Porath's inaugural 45-yard field goal. However, Nebraska's Dylan Raiola found Jahmal Banks for a 6-yard touchdown that swung momentum, igniting the Cornhuskers' offense to unleash a 21-point bombardment in the fourth quarter. Jacory Barney Jr. and Dante Dowdell scored rushing touchdowns, and John Bullock sealed the triumph with a defensive pick-six. Purdue's final efforts saw Hudson Card connect with Leland Smith for a late consolation score, but it was too little, too late for the Boilermakers.
