Jackson Anthrop
Purdue Wide Receiver
On how the team bounced back after last week
“Last week was tough. We got it handed to us. We knew that and we knew we were coming into a hostile environment, but the team was playing really well. Just the way we responded especially in the Big Ten. It is hard and especially in a place like this.”
On the ball carrying numbers
“That was kind of the game plan. Just to change it up a little bit. I thought it worked all right. The offensive line did a great job just moving guys around and having guys hit the holes.”
On what Jalen Graham’s interception did for the team
“It was huge. That’s all I’ve got to say. It was huge. Energy seemed a little down and things just weren’t clicking but once he got that it was like boom. There it is. There’s your login. Now just go out and play.”
On his first touchdown catch of the year
“It was a play in practice that we ran multiple times. We pulled it out. Usually when we practice it doesn’t go there, but it worked out. I’m glad it did.”
On having Zander Horvath back on offense
“Having him carry some of the load is awesome. He’s going to make one or two guys miss right off the bat. We are going to do that. That’s what good players do and that’s what he does.”
On if their long drives wore Nebraska down
“They are a good defense and they are physical. Especially early on. We didn’t get points out of the first couple drives but we had a lot of good plays. Were they perfect no but it kind of opened some things up. I think that was key later on in the game.”
On their big opportunity next Saturday
“They are a great team and they just beat a really good football team today. They showed up and they took care of business. We are just worried about getting home and we will look at the film. It’s going to be exciting.”
On one win away from being bowl eligible
“That’s huge. We are working hard and we are going to try and keep things going. We will stay focused on this next game and get home. We will watch some film and get guys healed up and get ready to go."
