Week 5 of the already scintillating 2024 college football season is upon us, and Peacock has you covered with access to games that you don’t want to miss. 

One of those games is a key Big Ten matchup this Saturday between the the Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-1, 0-1 in conference) and the Purdue Boilermakers (1-2, 0-0 in conference) airing exclusively on Peacock. 

Led by second-year coach Ryan Walters, Purdue will be hosting the Cornhuskers at Ross–Ade Stadium on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The Boilermakers are trying to bounce back from a 38-21 loss to Oregon State, hoping to build on their two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Under their own second-year coach, Matt Rhule, Nebraska is also trying to rebound. The Cornhuskers lost their first game of the season last week in a 31-24 overtime loss to Big Ten foe, No. 19 Illinois.

Historically, Purdue and Nebraska couldn't have played each other much more evenly. They each have six wins and and six losses historically, with this matchup tilting the overall advantage to the eventual winner.
