No matter how you feel about the direction of the program. No matter how you feel about the staff. No matter how sick you are of being in the B1G basement. This is a great day for these players and their efforts.
Great day to be a Boilermaker

Nice win but if I were a Nebraska alum I'd hide my diploma and burn all my Nebraska apparel and memorabilia after this one. We'll now be out of the coach search for another year and Nebraska will be in one immediately.
Saw the Husker fans on TV. How would you like to drive back to Lincoln Logs now?
Good job Boilers!

Agreed! A win is a win and we needed to execute to get the victory. It was no fluke. Blough played a great game.
Seeing all the kids from Nebraska in the stands today, I couldn't help but to think that they were cursing mommy and daddy under their breath - "you dragged me all the way here and I had to give up going out for Halloween for THIS fiasco?"
I don't know if it was a great game calling as much as it was a good game plan that fit more with Blough's strengths.
It was nice to finally get a home Big Ten win, the first for Hazell and staff.
Is it wrong, greedy, shameful, crazy to think ahead, and maybe have a shot at beating the Illini next week? Forgive me, all the Halloween candy has got me more fuzzier headed than normal. I just want to believe if we can keep being aggressive on Offense and the D can get some more turnovers, maybe the young men can earn another "W". Practice this week should be a little more spirited than usual. Congrats Men, keep working hard! BOILER UP NOW!!!
Well the team won by 10, but that was helped by 5 turnovers from opposing team, looks like Nebraska was playing like Purdue did earlier. Blough did well today, and will get better, just gotta get better defense. I realize they got 5 turnovers but that was due to seldom used QB and they also gave up 45 points. Glad to get the win, just not overly excited about it.
Their QB was terrible but let's not undersell the INTs. Three of them required significant effort on our part. It's not like he just threw the ball right to us.
Very good effort, especially in the 2nd and 3rd quarters when Purdue legitimately dominated the game. Hudson's big fumble recovery seemed to turn the game.
As others have said, it would have been a different story had we faced Tommy Armstrong, But injuries are a part of the game, and we've certainly had our share of star players go down over the years.
I was a little concerned with the 4th quarter defense, but Purdue did score twice in that last period to keep Nebraska at arm's length.
There's another winnable game this week. November 2015 will be the most critical month of Haze's tenure at Purdue. The schedule is not overwhelming down the stretch. He has to produce some wins, and he has to do it now.

I was at the game, and the Nebraska fans I was sitting by commented that Armstrong would not have been able to make a lot of the good throws that Fyfe made, though he likely wouldn't have thrown that many picks.
I agree, I think we can beat Illinois and maybe IU if we can score enough points. No to Iowa and NW
