Game Thread: Iowa @ Purdue

[IndySouthsider]

Wonder if David Bell is enjoying his trip to West Laffayette?

 

[IndySouthsider]

Wow they are letting us be physical too!

 

[IndySouthsider]

Oh he just left Smiley’s jock on the field



Not one to count chickens before they hatch. When was the last time Purdue beat 3 ranked teams?

 

[BBG]

This defense has one good drive and one bad and they score it seems

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

This defense has one good drive and one bad and they score it seems

yes....it could still work out if the offense keeps moving the chains and gets a couple of scores.....but.....it's nerve-wracking for the fans.

 

[IndySouthsider]

That drive was way way to easy. Will require an answer

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

No sir.....keep fighting Boilers.

 

[BBG]

Only good thing about that is it ate some clock. We need points of any kind on this next drive since our defense is crumbling

Nate Stanley looked super comfy back there on that drive.

 

[BBG]

Nate Stanley looked super comfy back there on that drive.

Yeah. Seems we do better when we are blitzing.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

We need to keep scoring. Obviously.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Goodness Gracious......what was that???

 

[IndySouthsider]

Friiiiiick

 

[BBG]

Come on Blough...

 

[purduepat1969]

Blough, 2nd terrible decision. Goodness.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Utter collapse

This is extremely depressing. And why is Barnes celebrating a terrible defensive play?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Probably was a horse-collar tackle.....would have been half the distance.....2.5 yards.....Boilers need to bear down.....game is slipping away.

 

[BBG]

Utter collapse

It not so much a collapse rather we just to play perfect with a defense that struggles like ours does.

Lots of time yet.

 

[arcb102000]

Blough threw into double covergage. He did it in the first half as well but it was incomplete. However, he was lucky not to have been intercepted then.

 

[BBG]

Come on D give us something!

 

[IndySouthsider]

They got a TIme out?

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Welp. Offense we will need you to win this one.

 

[purduepat1969]

The defense would be good enough if Blough doesn't make a terrible decision.

 

[purduepat1969]

Our special teams suck today.

 

[BBG]

The defense would be good enough if Blough doesn't make a terrible decision.

Disagree. Iowa pretty much just drives down the field at will. The ints going to help of course.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Ferentz is owning Brohm. He just made the changes and his team is got it going

 

[purduepat1969]

Ferentz is owning Brohm. He just made the changes and his team is got it going

No. Blough made a terrible decision on the throw.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Well....the good thing is 8 minutes left and three time outs.....the bad thing is TMHR has the ball back. Need a stop, Boilers, obviously.

 

[purduepat1969]

Disagree. Iowa pretty much just drives down the field at will. The aren't going to help of course.

I can see it both ways. Defense isn't good by any means.

 

[NashvilleBoiler]

No. Blough made a terrible decision on the throw.

Blough threw a terrible pass and now has turtled.

 

[BBG]

Well....the good thing is 8 minutes left and three time outs.....the bad thing is TMHR has the ball back. Need a stop, Boilers, obviously.

Yup. They score here and that might be it... Defense needs to get a 3 and out in the worst way

 

[BBG]

I can see it both ways. Defense isn't good by any means.

It's like I said... We have to be perfect basically on offense to win .Especially against the good teams

 

[IndySouthsider]

This is an all time collapse.

 

[BBG]

We just aren't getting any oreasure... None.

 

[IndySouthsider]

No. Blough made a terrible decision on the throw.

And that’s why Stanley looks like Tom Brady now?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

It's like I said... We have to be perfect basically on offense to win .Especially against the good teams

The margin for error shrinks bigtime against the better teams....now it's all about making some game deciding plays. The opportunity is still there.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Finally getting a push, and Iowa is backing up with penalties....good chance the Boilers get another crack....we shall see.

However - I don't know if I want this to come down to a kick....don't know if the 'ol ticker can hold out.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Turnovers. Wish we could get them on Defense

 

[BBG]

And that’s why Stanley looks like Tom Brady now?

They showed his draft spot earlier and he is peohectep to be a first rounder this year if he comes out.... FYI.

 

[BBG]

Good job D. Credit where credit is due.
