Nebraska and Purdue played an ugly first half of football on Saturday. There were no points scored until the Boilermakers hit a field goal with 6:42 to play in the third quarter. Huskers' freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola had a final stat line of 17-for-27 passing for 257 yards and one touchdown.

Purdue is trying to avoid a third straight loss and also hoping to resurrect an offense and defense that have drifted into the Big Ten abyss.
