Nebraska football linebacker John Bullock is continuing to get positive reviews for his play on Saturday against Purdue. He was Pro Football Focus’s highest-rated Big Ten defender for Week 5, with a 92.5 overall rating.
Bullock’s high grade translated onto the field as well. He totaled four tackles and an interception on the day. He returned the interception 29 yards for a touchdown. The interception extended Nebraska’s lead in the second half, putting the game out of reach for Purdue.
Bullock has been having a stellar season overall, recording 29 tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble, and an interception.
Bullock’s play has been vital to the defense’s success over the last few games. With his ball-hawking and playmaking skills, he has firmly established himself as a central component of the defensive unit.
Next, Nebraska will take on an undefeated Rutgers team on Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is set for 3:00 p.m. CST.
