Purdue at Illinois: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

How many people would be good with Simmons as interim ? I would
Probably not but there was a pulse there today. First time this year vs a FBS team we didn’t roll over and give up. Sad that that’s the bar nowadays.

Walters and the D gave this team less than nothing today and squandered a win. At least the O coach helped make it obvious where the fault lies!

Never thought I’d say this … give hazell credit

Short memory? Son I stood in the stands for everyone of Hazell’s games and saw the absolute debacle that was. Loss to Marshall, loss to Bowling Green, loss to Central Michigan … for S&!+ sake son look at the history you’re defending. Walters has at least cooked his cupcakes. Hell Hazell damn near lost to ISU his first year.
It’s been sub hazell this season

Positive post for once!

We have a long way to go and have to figure out something on defense or we are gonna lose a lot of games. But what I saw from Browne today was nothing short of spectacular. He will make mistakes but if he can even play at 3/4 what he did today somewhat consistently, then he is the definition of a qb that will give you a chance to win most weeks.
Ground Control to Major Tom..........We have already lost a lot of games.......Over?

Coaching

This was an opportunity for the team to actually see progress in winning a game we flat out lost in the first half. But our DEFENSIVE coach basically said “we can’t stop them” and put everything on a call from a guy that was coaching HS football 2 years ago. Not bashing the OC as he has shown he’s a huge upgrade from Harrell. But for $€!7 sake why would Walters throw the game on his OC’s shoulders rather than his own? Walters should be left in Illinois for that call.
You make zero sense,

Browne has the it factor. Has the ability to put the team on his back and raise the game of the others around him. Thought he showed a glimpse of that last year at NW.

Walters definitely needs to be pressed why Browne wasn't playing more earlier in the season. We probably beat OSU and at least make the NE game close.
Browne was not played because of money. Purdue invested a lot in Card and touted him. This is new pressure that is now part of college sports. Happens all the time in the pros.

Freshman Browne leads near-comeback in OT thriller

Purdue was terrible. Then it was perfect. Then it came up just, excruciatingly short. How the Boilers climbed to the brink of a startling upset in a wild night in Champaign:

Coaching

I’m saying it was better to put the game into the hands of the offense that scored 50 points instead of the defense who gave up 50 points. Our defense was cooked. They let IL march down for a FG (barely missed a TD) in 40 seconds. Then they gave up a TD the first play of OT. Our offense was clicking. You’re brainless if you think it wasn’t the right call.
So you’re saying our OC is better play caller than our DC/HC? If so you’re proving my point for me.
