WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Aidan O’Connell threw four touchdown passes and Devin Mockobee ran for a career-high 178 yards and another score as Purdue overpowered Nebraska 43-37. The Boilermakers have won four straight and are tied with No. 24 Illinois atop the Big Ten West Division. Nebraska had its two-game winning streak under interim coach Mickey Joseph snapped. Trey Palmer almost single-handedly kept the Huskers close in the second half. But after cutting the deficit to 43-37 with 5:55 to go, Nebraska never got the ball back.
