That seems like an awfully familiar ending.. where have I seen that before?
Fresno State at Purdue MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
Welp - it was an entertaining game, but it was definitely a disappointing one to open the Walters' era.
The money was wasted on the stadium remodel. We needed it to buy out Walters contract.
This will always be a C rate football program. This is why. Same shit every year no matter the coach or philosophy. Beyond pathetic to lose this game
Not even mad about the outcome because Fresno was the better team. Fresno coaches were MILES better than whatever Purdue has. Fresno's QB is miles better than what Purdue has. O-line is a disaster that can't protect or run block (no adjustment from coaches). Secondary is undisciplined and was confused all day at what Fresno was throwing at them then probably got tired (no adjustments). D-line can't pressure at all in the 2nd half with standard rush set (no adjustments to blitz).
With all that being said I think there is a decent football team buried under all of the BS. Will be curious to see how the coaches and players rebound.

That’s what I noticed, games are won and lost up front, Purdue looked really poor, not expecting much this year judging by today.
Saw some good on both sides of the ball. It’s not like Fresno State is a bad team.
If that’s as good as our secondary can play then hopefully that is the last time we see them locked up man to man 90% of the game. Could not cover them one on one.
We will see what happens when Hartwig gets back but pretty disappointing showing from the o-line as well.

Not able to watch the game but only able to listen on the radio, besides the long kickoff return, long touchdown pass, and the interception is there anything to look forward to with this team?
And I felt that last season Purdue only would play effective offense after the other team scored, never otherwise increasing the score. Appears to be similar this year.

Wth. Tiller lost his first game at home to toledo. These guys will get better
No, but every team on our schedule will be better than Fresno State except for NW and IU.
Brohm knew he left the cupboard pretty bare. IMO he knew it was going to be a bad year with this roster.
And yes, Purdue was dominated in the trenches on both sides and that's why they lost.
On the bright side Purdue actually played a team with a pulse for the opener and the coaching staff learned some things. We'll know a lot more on how the season will go based on how they respond next week.
Ok. I get it, you are emotional. It is certainly not a given that they are worse than all but two teams on our schedule. They won 10 games last year. We will see. Could be a bad year for us. We certainly need to make some adjustments but Fresno State might also be a pretty good team.
In closing for today, I will say that there's plenty to work on, and the team needs development - OL was really concerning. On the positive side, it was refreshing to see some more discipline with respect to penalties and possible turnovers. Even the roughing call (which looked right to me) was fairly close, and you live with some of those. Going to be a lot of learning curves this year.
We shall see - @ Virginia Tech up next.

I am probably wrong....IU is probably better than Fresno State. They are only down 10-3 at half against the #3 team in the nation.
