I hear Blough is warming up.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

On the defensive side, we are seeing a scheme that is putting players in the correct positions to make plays...guys just making mistakes.

Wasn't the case with Hazel when coaches from opposing teams said Purdue was easy to scheme against. I have seen better blitz schemes in the first quarter than 4 previous years

 

[IndySouthsider]

Was I the only one surprised Sindelar starts?

 

[BoilerGal74]

Whoo Hoo.... Hold that goal line.

 

[BoilerStutz]

Given Hazell's horrible recruiting, we've hung in there for a quarter. Nice defense at start of 2nd quarter to hold them to a field goal. It is likely Louisville will end up winning big, but it is already clear that Brohm and Co can coach. This will take time, but we can wait after the Hope and Hazell eras.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

I'm not sure why Jones is a returner.

This.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Was I the only one surprised Sindelar starts?

Blough must be hurt.

 

[Nolightoff]

Should have let the kick go out of bounds......

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Drew Brees.....in the house.

 

[IndySouthsider]

I am done with Jones

 

[BoilerGal74]

Drew Brees.....in the house.

...And on the screen being interviewed. What a great cheerleader!

 

[BoilerBulldog]

He's down

 

[BoilerBulldog]

I am done with Jones

I would have Lankford return kicks.

 

[boilerpete1]

Dang it Markell. That kick was going to go OB

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Wow. Louisville is undisciplined.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Fumble! Rumblin....stumblin.....bumblin......Boiler Up!

 

[BoilerInChiTown]

Yea. Yea. Yea. F#ck yea...

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Again. We haven't run yet. Right?

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Never mind.

 

[boilerpete1]

Hey! We earned a first down!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Interesting comments from DB and Purdue recruiting in Texas.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Purdue football is fun again. I'm onboard.

 

[BoilerInChiTown]

Can't say enough about how much of an ambassador for PU football Drew Brees is.
With Blough we may have a chance. Go Boilers...

 

[boilerpete1]

Good punt

 

[BoilerBulldog]

We have a much better defense. Coaching matters.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Ball club is 1000 times better than anything Hazel ever had

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Has Holmes been on the field?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

This is a nice drive so far.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

At this moment, Purdue is the better team.

 

[BoilerInChiTown]

The team is having fun and so am I...
Let's punch it in...

 

[arcb102000]

Anybody who believes that we would bein this game with Hazell coaching has his/her head up their a$$. Huge change has occurred.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Huge 2nd effort there, nice!

 

[Wolegib]

TOOOOOOOCHHDOWN !!!!!!

 

[BoilerGal74]

Yes!!! TD! Gosh has this been a fun half of football....These boys believe....

 

[Wolegib]

Purdue switched kickers after the blocked FG. Evans for the PAT.

 

[BoilerGal74]

And what a coaching duel....

 

[Wolegib]

Yahoo, avoided both a TD and FG in closing seconds

 

[Wolegib]

the key to our success today and the future will be our half time adjustments. With Hazell, we made none, and our opponents did and ran over us. With brohm, this is his chance to prove we belong.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Okay, It's the first fricking game but our tackling is sooooooo good compared to the dark days. We hit the light switch I think.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Amazing. We look like a football team now!
