I’ve been saying it all year. As evidenced by the trick play, Allar is missing wide open WRs (this time it was TE Dinkins) and going to his security blanket, Warren. I have seen it in other games with the WRs also.
It’s not like he’s catching that ball then scanning the field. He needs to catch it then get it back to his primary receiver who was wide open. There is no way that he should see Dinkins open on that one.

Only these announcers could be begging for a PI flag for Purdue and sounded dejected when no yellow laundry appeared on the field....

And what if the defense sniffed it out and Warren was covered? Dinkins was obviously an option on the play and Allar had a little time. Not a lot. But a little.

Reading through progressions would mean that he’d move on if Warren wasn’t available. But Warren was wide open, so he threw it to him, as you’d expect.

Yes, I get that. My point is that throughout the year, there have been WRs open and he throws it to Warren. Then we all wring our hands over the WRs lack of production. It’s not all the WRs.

wow, Purdue receiver and PSU's Collins both come down with the catch, so it's ruled a completion for Purdue.

Purdue will get a chance at a 49-yard FG with 0:03 sec left in the half. Purdue's kicker previous long was 44 yards.

And I’m not saying that there haven’t been…but that play definitely wouldn’t be an example to me…he did exactly what he’s been coached to do I’m sure.

I get that it’s our offensive identity this season, and we may be setting up stuff in the future…but this Purdue defense is bad enough that I’d love to limit the gimmicks and punch them in the mouth.

I thought that was a pick. Both had hands on the ball, but it was against Collins’ body.

Inside running game has been disappointing since Illinois. This could be a problem at Minnesota.
