good to know, I was wondering if Wisconsin turned into the 70's steelers in a week..due to the score
Nope, they just caught us at our weakest point, after a grueling game with Nebraska, we should have won.
And had we not dropped a TD pass and hit the upright, on a field goal attempt, we would have beaten y’all. Final score was 14-7 in a game that could have gone either way.
Iowa seemed to have a big score last week too. I guess they only lost to probably the B1G and big 12 future champ
I guess we will see if Purdue wins. Was a missed fumble call or missed extra point away this past weekend.
More excuses! We used those same excuses the last seven years on one score loses.
Idk what to expect more that we have a QB and not a boring and predictable defense. There are wins out there, idk if Friday is it, regardless of how often Purdue upsets top 5 teams.
Hahaha!
Yeah, I wonder if they maybe shot their wad in that "amazing" game vs "super tough" Illinois.
I don't think they have totally quit on the season BUT getting smacked by 50 might do it.
Ya. My worry is people are expecting it now… the history is there, but the money is going on Purdue. Hate that.
I have money on that. Why wouldn’t you? Though consistently beating top 5 ranked teams is fun.
I think they have something like the 3rd most wins vs top 5 ranked teams.
Edit: a couple quick googles. https://www.espn.com/college-footba.../who-most-wins-vs-no-1-college-football-teams
Also has 10 wins vs top 5 teams while being unranked.
Oregon might put 70 on Purdue and even with improved QB play that looks like a 70-28 game. Purdue's D is god awful.
The link you provided was wins against #1 team which stated this......

So 3 times since 2000, two in 1 season (2021) is what you would define as consistently beating top 5 teams. As long as we are on the same page.
I read 3 in the past 6 years. I’ll take it. Better than most.
Shocked ND isn’t in that list more tbh
3 in the last 6 years if you are a Purdue fan
3 in the last 26 years if you understand the definition of consistently.
Tiller retired at Purdue. Who did Purdue chase off?When you had your best coach ever and chased him off.
I agree with you completely. Our OL isn't even close imo. I'm not sure it will be next year. We need in influx of talent I believe.
If Rhule wants to be that run first physically dominant team we will need to hit the portal and IMO start recruiting a different type of OL. You don't make guys nasty you RECRUIT nasty guys! I know Frost didn't do that. I've seen what appears to be more knock down dominant blocks from Mazzuca and Jenkins than I have in a long time. We need to start recruiting some of these thick lower body guys who have a power based if we wanna run it like that. Especially if we talking about in the interior OL. Hell of take 5 guys out their with bad(meaning good) attitudes on the OL. I swear sometimes we are too nice of a team especially on offense.
If I'm being honest THIS YEAR I think it's time to give the team to Raiola and set everything up off of what he can do. I understand what they wanna do offensively but I don't think we have the RBs nor the OL to do it. I trust our QB throwing and our OL pass blocking more than i do our RBs running and out OL creating push in the run game. You can set the run up off the pass and I pray this is the week we finally do it.
Holla
I think your moron administration chased off Tiller
Then you clearly chased off Jeff...because he was looking to leave the second he landed in WL
Woah. Ok. How did they chase off tiller?
And how did they chase off Brohm? And if he wanted to leave as soon as he got there, why didn’t he?
When this was said preseason our resident Purdue expert said there was no way. I’ll trust him on this one.
Preseason, I didn’t think so. Didn’t think it would be this bad either. One of two things happen imo. They get proven P4 coach and pay a ton of money for him, or keep Walter’s and beef up his staff so he has good cast and see what happens next year. Idk if you can take a risk on a lower level guy.
I actually disagree. I’m not sure Purdue can get a proven P4 coach. I think they need a creative, hungry coach, with a wide open offense (that is what has worked for Purdue). I don’t understand why they didn’t go after someone like Chadwell or Cignetti when they hired Walters.
Has Purdue had a change in AD since they hired Brohm? The hires of Brohm and Walter’s seemed like such different philosophies.
No. Same AD. I see why he went with Walters. He seems smart and will probably be good someday, just made too many mistakes to survive this round. The route you suggest wouldn’t be bad, but I think they can get someone good for 7-8 mil. At least get guys pay raises before stepping down to the next level.
