Bowl Question

[Boilerbrewer]

All three of Purdue's non-conference opponents (Louisville, Ohio, and Missouri) ended up being bowl teams. I wonder how many other P5 teams can make that claim about their non-conference schedules.

Purdue can't be accused of playing cupcakes as a path to bowl eligibility.

Missouri turned out to be a pretty decent club after we played them. I think that was probably the best overall game Purdue played and likely Missouri taking Purdue lightly as well. If that Purdue team shows up every week, it is likely Purdue wins 8 and possibly 9 games this season (add Rutgers and Nebraska along with possibly Whisky or NU).

that team showed up in at least two of the losses this year. poor coaching decisions led to a loss twice

imo

(edit) in the B1G, neb played all bowl teams

Yes, the Rutgers and Nebraska losses were puzzling and disheartening at the time but Purdue did recover from them!

My biggest coaching criticism would be having McCollum on the field for the final play of the Minny game.

If he doesn't get injured there I think Purdue doesn't allow the big TD run versus Rutgers and stops Nebraskas last drive.

Why just him? Why not all of the starters? Silly to question Brohm. Every good coach would do what he did. We were only up 2 scores and they were moving the ball at the end. Players get hurt in FB sometimes - it’s part of the game unfortunately.
