I'm sure someone has it, but I'd like to know how many points Purdue has given up on end of half or end of game drives. it seems like every game, we're letting a team get some cheap points right before the clock runs out.
Bad stat: end of half/game points given up.
- Thread starter bonefish1
- Start date
let's see, 7 games times 2 halves time 7 pts = 98 pts, subtract ISU, = 84 pts, that is probably the answer
It’s not quite as bad as it seems, but it’s not great.
At the end (under 2:00) of the 1st half:
PSU TDs with 1:44 and :02 left
Maryland TD with :14 left
Nebraska FG with :00 left
At the end (under 2:00) of the game:
PSU TD with :57 left
Syracuse TD with :07 left
Maryland TD with :35 left
The breakdowns at the end of both halves in the PSU game seem to make us keenly aware of late scores in the rest of the games this year.

It's bad. Some of it is scheme, some of it is bad play, some of it is just flat out coaching. We had the ball goal-to-goal at the end of the first half and left 20 seconds on the play clock 2 plays in a row. Left 35 seconds left for Nebraska.
FAU FG with 1:27 left in the 1st half, FAU fumbled with 0:58 in the 2nd half
Minnesota took possession with only 0:28 left in the 1st half, Purdue held the ball the final 2:00 of the 2nd half
Purdue held the ball the final 2:00 of the 2nd half against Nebraska
So, out of 6 FBS opponents, that is 8 scores (6 TD and 2 FG) in 11 opportunities under 2 minutes. Wowza
Sure enough, I missed that FG by FAU being under 2:00.
The Penn State game is just brutal though. 3 TDs combined under 2:00 mark of each half.
