Rutgers vs Purdue / Game Thread

[ru75]

Yeah. Those five straight three and outs by our offense to end the game were special.

Totally!

This is like picking up a girl when the bar's about to close.

True....But she's still getting in the car.....and you actually open the door for her.

 

[RC85]

Silliness. It's almost a crime to point any of the blame at the refs to be honest....in the end, you and I are both happy as we SOMEHOW managed to pull off the W.

But our offense is horrible and the sole reason why we almost lost.

You're nuts if you don't think that non-holding call was THE killer in that Purdue TD drive. But just so you can relax here was my next post:

Refs completely f'd us this last drive, but our piss poor O set it up.

Nice win. Congrats RU

Blood pressure is through the roof, but we won. I’ll take this all day

 

[ru75]

winning breeds winning! Yay, Team!

 

[MKordIUBB]

hahahahaha! Purdue fans are all aboard the Brohm Train (pun intended) and being annoying over on the IU site. Thank you!

And just saying, Purdue doesn't suck. They're actually okay

It's a win, I'll take it every week. It may not be pretty but running the clock down to shorten the game is the most effective way for us to win vs. other BIG opponents.

Wow. FU RU coaches

A game we should of won going away by 20

Pedestrian offense play calling kept it close.

But take the W

 

[RUfromNJ]

Best B1G start in RU history

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Taking a time out with the clocked stopped during the 2 minute drill is unacceptable. This offensive coaching staff is a mess this game.

Kill is terrible

 

[rurichdog]

Angry after a win..says so much

 

[HeyHuey]

Kill is terrible

I give Kill credit for shortening the game. It has worked and not worked in games this year. The Gio sneak on what I believe was RU's last possession (not counting the OOB on-side kick) was a real stinker. Tell me it was a blown play and not called by Kill. I thought Ray Lucas was going to have an aneurysm.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Not finding a way to get the ball to your speedy playmakers is a failure by Kill.

It's not about the outcome of this game. It's about setting up the process needed to set up sustained success against our conference.

Do you think this offense philosophy does that?

Oh, I don't know. I think maybe, just maybe the "offensive philosophy" might be dictated by what the guys can reliably execute in practice and games. There's a reason the playbook has gotten smaller as the season has gone on. We are what we are this season. We do have 2 big ten wins so perhaps instead of constantly bitching, we can actually be happy we won back to back big ten games, at least for today.
