LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska players and coaches wouldnt go there this week when they were asked about seeking vengeance against Purdue on Saturday.Thats not to say theyve forgotten last years 55-45 loss that dropped the Cornhuskers to 3-6 in Mike Rileys first season. The defeat prompted athletic director Shawn Eichorst to write an open letter to fans expressing confidence in the new coach.The Huskers are 9-1 since, having started this season 6-0 and earning their highest ranking in five years at No. 8. Thats quite a bounce-back from what defensive coordinator Mark Banker called absolutely the lowest point in 2015. So why not use revenge for motivation?When you play out of revenge, youre not playing the right way, safety Kieron Williams said. When you play out of revenge its not about winning the game; its about trying to get back at the guy who scored on you. If you play out of revenge you can still lose the game, but if you got revenge on the guy you wanted, it feels like you won when you really didnt. Were going to play the 2016 version of that team, so were going to focus on that 2016 version.Purdues win over the Huskers was the high point in Darrell Hazells 3 + years at the school. He was fired last Sunday after going 9-33, and Nebraska was one of his five wins against Bowl Subdivision opponents.Interim coach Gerad Parker said it will be a daunting task for the Boilermakers (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten) to play in Lincoln six days after Hazells dismissal. But he said its also an exciting time.We dont have anything to lose, he said.Nebraska, a 24-point favorite, has a lot to lose if theres a repeat of last year. The Huskers have won their first three conference games and are alone in first place in the West. The schedule only gets tougher. Back-to-back road games against No. 10 Wisconsin and No. 2 Ohio State come next.Parker said hes sure last years upset will be on the Huskers minds.Im sure in their mind theyre ready to bring us up there and do what theyre supposed to do and, like in great college football, well go up there, try to make it different, Parker said.Some things to know about Purdue-Nebraska:ALL ABOUT THE RUNNebraskas 220.5 rushing yards per game ranks fourth in the Big Ten. The Huskers are 8-0 under Riley when rushing for 200 yards, including 4-0 in 2016. Purdue is giving up an average of 264.3 rushing yards, worst in the conference and 124th nationally.BLOUGH IS BACKPurdues David Blough, who threw for four touchdowns and broke a long run for another score in last years game, is the Big Ten leader in total offense at more than 300 yards a game. Blough last week turned in the best performance by a Purdue quarterback since 2008, throwing for 458 yards and five touchdowns in a 49-35 loss at Iowa, though most of his production came when the game was out of hand.INJURY UPDATEOffensive linemen Nick Gates and David Knevel, both battling ankle injuries, practiced Thursday, but Riley didnt know if, or how much, either would play. Receiver Jordan Westerkamp, who hurt his back against Illinois on Oct. 1, will sit out. Riley said he expects Westerkamp back for next weeks game at Wisconsin.Parker said he wouldnt disclose his teams injury information.AGAINST RANKED OPPONENTSPurdue is looking for its first win against a top-10 team since 2009 when it beat Ohio State. The Boilermakers havent beaten a top-10 team on the road since 1974, when they defeated a second-ranked Notre Dame.HUSKERS-BOILERMAKERS CONNECTIONSPurdue first-year defensive coordinator Ross Els was the Huskers linebackers coach from 2011-14 under Bo Pelini. Els was an assistant coach at a high school in his hometown of Lincoln last year.Offensive coordinators Terry Malone of Purdue and Danny Langsdorf of Nebraska worked together with the New Orleans Saints from 2002-04. Malone was the tight ends coach and Langsdorf was the offensive quality control, assistant wide receivers and special teams coach.---Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org DeShon Elliott Hoodie .Y. - Nelson Mandela will be honoured by the New York Yankees with a plaque in Monument Park.

But I really still want to achieve a lot in the game, and I still want to win a lot.I guess we get addicted to that feeling and when you dont get your rush, so to speak, you miss it. I definitely missed winning over here.I just felt thats the kind of goal for me to really strive for and practice for. So Im not sure where I am right now, but well see.
