More: Weekly Word ($) | Could Purdue ride one QB? | Purdue ready to reset

Here is a weekly look at some of the numbers surrounding Purdue football from Saturday's loss at Rutgers and heading into this week's game against Nebraska.

1 - Time that Purdue has had at least 474 yards in total offense and limited an opponent to fewer than 217 and lost a football game as it did against Rutgers Saturday. Purdue is 9-0 in those scenarios dating back to 2000.

46 - Points allowed by the Boilermaker defense in their last three Big Ten games. It's the best three-game stretch since Purdue opponents scored 38 points in the final three games of the 2005 season. The rub is the Boilermakers won all three of those games in '05, while winning just 1-of-3 a dozen years later.

3/5 - It is the third time in the last five years that Nebraska has entered the Purdue game unranked.

100 - Combined points the last time the Big Red came to West Lafayette, the third-highest point total in school history. Purdue won the game 55-45.

279 - Boilermakers' rushing yardage total against Rutgers, the most by Purdue since they gained 298 yards on Oct. 18, 2014 at Minnesota. They were both losses. Purdue has rushed for 279 or more yards 11 times dating back to 2000, and its only losses were to the Gophers and Scarlet Knights.

9-9 - Purdue hasn't missed a field goal under 40 yards in 2017. It is just 2-of-7, however, from 40 yards and more.

9 - Fumble recoveries by the Boilermaker defense this season, ranking sixth in the country in that category. That is even more impressive considering Rutgers was the first team this season to not lose a fumble against Purdue.

27 - Jackson Anthrop's team-leading reception total. He is on pace to be the first freshman since Taylor Stubblefield led the Boilermakers with 73 receptions in 2001. Both Anthrop and Stubblefield were redshirt freshman, and Stubblefield is to date the only freshman to ever led the Boilermakers for a season in receptions.

4 - Number of October night games in Ross-Ade Stadium, with the last one a 38-10 loss to Notre Dame in 2011. Saturday's contest will be the latest regular-season night game in Purdue history. The next-closest having taken place 10 calendar days earlier in the first night game in Ross-Ade annals, on Oct. 18, 1986, a 39-11 loss to Ohio State.
