Official '26 PSU - Purdue game thread

[Phils rug]

If we win by 17 is that enough for people?
Really--so far--Purdue has 14 points due to a blown coverage and a blocked punt--we've been FAR better

You've been here more than long enough to know the answer to that question

You've been here more than long enough to know the answer to that question

We've actually, somewhat surprisingly, played very well today--and that was evident from the start--even when it was tied at 7 and 14
But, yes, I'm asking for too much

We’re flexing our muscle now?

Great tip by Tracy there

 

[AvgUser]

Thats BS PF call on Tracy

 

[Nitt1300]

you play to win the game

The b1g clown POSs on full display tonight - desperately trying to keep PurDon't in it.

Every Db dose that seat belt thing, but tracy get a 15 yard penalty, come on. Garbage call on 68 as well for the Hold.

Ya you don’t stand in front of other teams bench and do it. That was taunting 101

4th and 9… massive gain against the PSU defense. And a bunch of people just won money on Polymarket.

 

[Ludd]

Why do we keep rushing three on big passing downs?

 

[KingLando]

Damn Minnesota just hit a 60 yard FG to take the lead vs Indiana

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

No holding call on last play.... No delay of game there... unbelievable.

 

[Ludd]

Maybe someday we’ll accidentally get a sack.

Let's not get crazy with what we ask for

 

[AvgUser]

Just kick the damn FG

 

[rigi19041]

Both him and Hansen--both are averaging about 7 a carry
We're a much better team when we only use two backs--don't care what two

Much better vs purdue. Suck vs anyone good.


3rd rb only averaged 4 carries a game going into this game.

 

[Phils rug]

Missed it

 

[KingLando]

Barker not having a great day

 

[Phils rug]

Just kick the damn FG

Not very good at that either lol

 

[MM1994]

Look at all those empty seats on the fg attempt.

 

[BobPSU92]

Barker used to be automatic.

 

[DELion]

This has been a nice bounce back game for Rocco - managed the game well, avoided turnovers. Brahmer and Wallace also showed up big.

As it's been discussed consistently--a lot of that has to do with the fact we lack a pass game so teams can take away the run and when you play 3 or 4 backs no one gets comfortable. We also played our toughest 4 conference games first without our best player...nothing that happened was surprising--including Hansen and Wallace running well today.

 

[Ludd]

Are you allowed to tackle the QB in the backfield?

 

[DELion]

Finally a sack!!

 

[AvgUser]

Just kick the damn FG

or not.

 

[Phils rug]

Kemajou with a SACK!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KingLando]

He's honestly only had two bad games (Michigan & Wisconsin)
He was solid today--not great--but good to see

 

[Phils rug]

Today is that day

 

[AvgUser]

He’s still a D grade QB

 

[Phils rug]

Cooper gets the pick to put it away

 

[Nothing Special]

It wasn't. He knows it. We know it.
He'll learn from it
It's not like we're battling for a playoff spot and can't allow him to learn from these mistakes that kids make
Especially a DB

Oh, absolutely agree. For a young kid, surprised it hasn't happened sooner. I was critical of him in the first half, but he was still the leading tackler in the half.

 

[YeOldeCup]

What a silly interception. Football IQ lacking.

 

[FHSPSU67]

Why pick it ???

 

[SkiSkiSki]

It won't matter, but stupid from start to end. Knock the ball down.

 

[KingLando]

Yards: 445-175
Turnovers forced: 2-0
TOP: 41-19

This thread tells a very different story regarding a game that wasn't competitive.

 

[Nothing Special]

Maybe someday we’ll accidentally get a sack.

I've been critical of the front 4, but they did put pressure on the QB and did a great job against the run.

 

[KingLando]

So--the advantage of picking off the pass there is it allows you run out the clock with a first down vs Purdue gets the ball back if we take over at the four
Knock it down--yeah, I agree--but it worked fine given the circumstances
