It was so fun last night when Nebraska pulled out the win. I don't think I wanted us to win more than last night in quite a while. I am definitely not one to go against the Huskers so that we can get another coach. I am a Nebraska fan!
What an amazing win! I had to goback and watch the game again today! Like every close game there are so many key points in the game that could have changed it completely. Purdue dropped three touchdown passes. We had so many key plays brought back by holding! The Marcus Newby tackle for a two yard loss when they were ready to score was key. They ended up with a field goal that time instead of a touchdown.
I was totally impressed with Jaylin Bradley. He ran seven times for 45 yards and caught three passes for 31 yards. He just found the offensive line holes a little better than Devine Ozigbo seemed to do. But I love Devine Ozigbo! He caught key passes on that final drive and he got our of bounds to save key seconds on the clock. He was key in the win also. Ozigbo caught six passes for 39 yards.
Tanner Lee was very impressive. He had the best quarterback performance since Taylor Martinez against Oklahoma St in a year I can't remember. He had 431 yards passing which is the fourth most ever tied with Zach Taylor in a game in 2005 vs Iowa St. That game went into two overtimes. Tanner Lee hit many receivers perfectly. Unbelievable performance.
The two key receivers were Stanley Morgan and Tyler Hoppes. Morgan catches six passes for 112 yards and the winning touchdown. Tyler Hoppes made some amazing catches. What great hands!! He may have been the MVP for this game!! Great to see a tight end receive passes!
On the defensive side of the ball I really liked hits by Chris Weber. The defensive line did well most of the time. Carlos Davis had five tackles. Lamar Jackson had some great hits! Joshua Kalu is our best tackler or at least as good as Weber.
It seemed like we had a lot of players down on the field hurt. I think some of those could be avoided if they just get off the field if they can. Some injuries you just can't do that but when a player comes in two plays later could he have just got off the field??
Next week is going to be tough with Northwestern. We can win it but it will take another great game.
