What did Tom Dienhart learn about Big Ten in Week 10? Here’s what! " Big Ten Network
6. Nebraska has to play better. Yes, the final score said the Cornhuskers dominated Purdue, 35-14. But the numbers tell a different story. Nebraska was out gained, 340-297, a season-low for NU.
The numbers do tell a different story. The offense was horrid. OTOH, Dienhart referred to us as NU!!!!

To win the West, Nebraska needs Ameer Abdullah - ESPN
Without senior Ameer Abdullah at full strength or close to it, Nebraska will not win the West Division.
You'd like to think this won't be an issue, but for the sake of argument, let's assume it is. It'll make for a fun Tuesday discussion, won't it? (No, not really.)
There weren't a whole lot of positives from Saturday's game for the offense. Jake Cotton went the whole game without a penalty. The whole offensive line didn't commit a single penalty for that matter. That's good, right?
The whole performance was off, however, so maybe we'd prefer Jake Cotton pick up a personal foul or a holding call if that's what it takes.
Abdullah has two weeks to heal up. The offense, the whole lot of it besides Abdullah, has two weeks to get their collective crap together. Wisconsin gets Purdue this coming weekend, and if the Badgers shellack them, the angst during Wisconsin week is going to be at the high point of the season.
The Badgers are 11th nationally in rush defense; fourth against the pass and first nationally in total defense (I'm not making you feel any better am I?). They're third in rushing offense; 25th total.
You'd like to think that Nebraska's offensive line would be capable of pushing around the Badger front four, but the offensive line isn't even settled nine games into the season as evident by snap problems during the Purdue game. On the positive side, this is a line that ran over Miami in a game where Abdullah got to run through holes. It can be done.
