Talk Husker football with Brian Christopherson during his weekly live chat, every Tuesday.

@merco: Matt Snyder? It's hard to know exactly how guys on the scout squad are doing, but the top guy going into next season at the moment is probably Tyler Hoppes, who would be a senior. Then you hope that at least one of two guys from the combination of Snyder, Engelhaupt and Stoll are ready to make that big leap in the spring of 2017. Engelhaupt jumped out me size-wise the first time I saw him. He's an impressive looking dude. -

@JimC: Purdue is just getting rocked by opponents rushing, so if the Huskers can't line up and run it this Saturday, it's concerning. So I would guess this is a run-heavy game for Nebraska that, in a perfect world, puts more weight on the running backs than Tommy Armstrong. The fewer hits No. 4 takes this week, the better.
That said, Nebraska hasn't been good enough to assume it can just dial stuff back and get through the week with a win. I know Purdue has had its struggles, but Fresno State is 1-6 and was down only 11 to NU going to the fourth quarter. So even when the Huskers clearly have a better team, they need to show they can grab control of a game early and run away from an opponent. -
Pelini at Purdue! Boy, would that provoke a genuine emotional hate-laden rivalry that NU has craved since joining the B1G! September 29, 2018 would be fabulous in Lincoln! Also, pretty timely for Bo. Doesn't his multimillion dollar/yr. subsidy from the NU coffers expire in 2017? How can one expect Bo to survive on <$300,000/yr.?

BC, didn't know that about Purdue - thanks. On a sideline conferences note, Big 12's non-story is interesting. Do you think Oklahoma and Texas will stay? And one more question: For the love of the gridiron, can we rename conferences without numbers? I try explaining to kids that the Big 10 has 14 teams and the Big 12 has 10 teams, and they question the need to finish their math homework. -
