Was talking about how unfortunate the 0-3 start was given Purdue now looks like it legitimately could win at Nebraska and at Illinois to get to 3-3. Had Purdue won those first three and been able to get to 6-0, you would likely be looking at a top 15-20 team playing a top 5 OSU team at home for a night game. It would have been Gameday in West Lafayette again and the rebuild Brohm has done would have been fast-tracked even more.
That being said, Purdue can still get to 3-3 with wins against Nebraska and Illinois but both of those teams spread teams out and that has been Purdue's weakness so far this season. If they can have a similar defensive showing against the next two teams, I'll be more optimistic about getting to 6 wins and a bowl game. The additional practices would mean so much to those younger players getting as much time with the coaches as possible.
