OK looking back at the game, we had 1 bad quarter, 1 ok quarter and 2 good quarters. That's not bad though it could be better. I like that our best quarters have been 1st and 4th. That is a good thing.
Also give credit where it's due. Putting Hayes (?) on Border made a big difference no matter who their QB is. Border was catching everything thrown his way in the first half.
A really good long run now. The game is in the books. 45-18 is not bad, guys.

As if you weren't a condescending pillock to start with.
I will block you. You block me and we both move on. I don't like you either.
I'll say it. Overall I'm satisfied with this win. We have a lot to work on but I like our chances next week. Cincy looks very beatable.
And it almost goes without saying, Malone>>>>>>>>Shoop.

I don't need to block you, not upset, just trying to talk about the game. If you feel the need have at it.
I think they looked better coached. Very few boneheaded decisions, few penalties, we looked like we knew what we were doing on offense.
Of course there were some concerns & Purdue will need to play better to beat the remaining teams on the schedule, but I'll add some more positives that I haven't seen mentioned yet:
-Malone let Blough use the whole field. Purdue converted 2 third downs with throws over the middle on crossing patterns (a Shoop rarity) & Blough took a few shots down the field.
-Blough spread the ball around to 9 different receivers.
-Oline provided a clean pocket & comfortable QB for just about the whole game.
-3 for 4 on short yardage conversions. Jones got stuffed on 4th & 1, but Blough was 2-2 on sneaks & Worship picked up his 4th & 2.
-Pressure from the D wasn't great for much of the game, but they did hit Coney enough to have him limping around at the end of the 1st half & they knocked him out of the game in the 2nd.
-DBs were playing tighter coverage. It didn't lead to many incompletions, but it limited YAC & prevented the type of long 3rd down conversions on QB scrambles we've seen so often the last few seasons.
-2nd most points scored in the Haze era.
-Back-up QB got in the game because the game was in hand & not because of our starter's ineffectiveness.
Like I said earlier, there is a lot of improvement needed to beat P5 level teams, but it was the kind of opening game Purdue needed to have.
