I was just about to post this. Goodness Purdue, how low is your budget? If we have all starters healthy for this game there should be no reason we don't score 40

 

[ScottyIce]

Great for Ross! Great for Nebraska as well!

 

[Red Five]

Seriously? I mean really? Like this is the same Ross Els?

Should Nebraska fans be making fun of Purdue for anything considering the way they curb stomped NU in 2015?

THEY HIRED AN HIGH SCHOOL ASSISTANT COACH TO BE A DIVISION 1 DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

The only reason he was a high school assistant last year was because he was still being paid his NU contract and he wanted to stay in Lincoln with his kids. You are acting like he has never been a D-1 assistant coach.

This only helps NU going forward.

No, his contract with NU was through 2015. He took an opportunity to stay close with family, while having his agent work with schools for a new college job. Looks like it worked out pretty well for him.

Didn't see this hire coming, but good luck to Ross Els, he's a good man.
