We're giving so much cushion to their receivers right now. I know it's part of "bend but don't break" but you shouldn't give them cushion beyond the first down marker.

It’s not so great that it was necessary, but holding them to three in the red zone was huge.

It felt as if, should Purdue have scored there, it would likely be the final moment the Cats had the lead.

Lausch also doesn't read that option handoff well either

Fussell is not having a good game on D.

Lausch doesn't seem to understand his options on RPO. He's running with it on every first down play.

Why did we call a timeout with four seconds left in the quarter? Just wait and you get a free timeout!

WTF?

The game clock was stopped and there was 1 second left on the play clock. They would have gotten a delay of game without the timeout. Lujan needs to get the play in earlier.
