I'm here. It was depressing to see them lose the game considering they were the better team most of the game. Something you guys are familiar with unfortunately. Have two weeks and a scrimmage to correct the things that lost the game last night. Most of them are correctable.
Hindsight being 20/20, I don't mind playing PSU early because it was a great test and probably the toughest team Purdue will play this year, so still should be a good year. Just glad Purdue looked liked they belong and validated my 8 win prediction. Penalties were just so uncharacteristic of a Brohm team. A lot of the WR's and DB's had barely practiced to that point, recovering from off-season surgery, so I guess slightly expected. Don't think ARY played, Thompson was still limping.
I don't think Brohm tried to get cute at the end, I just don't think Purdue was running at all. So do you run it in hopes of getting lucky or play to your strength and risk the clock stopping. If O'Connell doesn't underthrow sheffield, we are talking about a Purdue win. PSU did a good job making him uncomfortable and their DB's late were outstanding. Speaking of QB's, PSU backup better than Clifford? Small sample size, but he looked good.
Not sure the season is over for Nebraska or Purdue.
