Game Thread: Purdue @ Illinois

[Zaphod_B]

Thats the kind of 'inventive' play calling people were wanting...

 

[RDUBoiler]

My family thought *I* got injured on that touchdown pass from Sparks. I literally fell on the floor.

 

[boilermaker75]

That's what I mean the QB is keeping the ball just go for him.

 

[RDUBoiler]

I kind of figured this play was coming and have been waiting to see it all year.

I had a feeling they were setting up a reverse. Didn't see the pass play coming then, but should have guessed that Brohm would have a pass play from Sparks in the playbook.

Nice job D!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

DOWN he goes! a great hold/series.....a good chance here for the Boilers to get some separation, perhaps.

 

[DrEss]

With this coaching staff, the future for Purdue football is unbelievably bright. I just can’t imagine how good this team will be once we get a steady stream of 4 and 5 stars joining the fun. Boiler TF Up!!

 

[BoilerFYF]

Sparks! Huge!

 

[purduepat1969]

Great route by Sparks.

 

[boilermaker75]

Nice catch Sparks.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Sparky! first down, Boilers.....nice conversion after Blough's forkball to Moore on 1st down.

 

[boilermaker75]

Yes Zico nice run after catch!

 

[BoilerFYF]

This kid looks like Brees right now wow!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Blough is carving them up right now.

 

[boilermaker75]

Let's punch this in and bury Illinois early

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Fort Knox time?

 

[Zaphod_B]

Zico is having a hell of a day so far!

 

[purduepat1969]

For as bad of a game Sparks had at Nebraska, he's showing it today. Gotta give him credit.

 

[BoilerFYF]

Zico with 85 yards and a TD. Moore with 84 yards. Blough with 200 passing in the first quarter. He might catch Orton this season

Great job on that third down catch Jared. Really performing today. No one has sucked

 

[FirstDownB]

On pace for 900 yards lol

 

[BoilerFYF]

Guys Illinois defense on the field for way too many plays so far... we can wear them out...

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Markell Jones with Horvath leading the way......sweet!

But a slightly "bitter" conversion try.....sheesh.

 

[boilermaker75]

They already look worn out!

 

[BoilerFYF]

Corbin hurt! Hope it’s just a hobble but without him they can’t come back

 

[FirstDownB]

98 really messed that up

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Well.....back to sleepy D now. C'mon Boilers.

 

[BBG]

Just when I think the defense is coming around we have a bad time stopping people.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Strike two on that fastball. some zip from Bush.

then DOWN he goes!

 

[BBG]

Just when I think the defense is coming around we have a bad time stopping people.

And I happily eat my crow. Nice job.

 

[boilermaker75]

Great sack that saved points

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Hey...Hey......nice to see the other team with kicking woes.....WIDE right.

 

[BoilerFYF]

Wow.. do we ever get actual luck?? Illinois illinoising on that drive lol

 

[BoilerFYF]

Great sack that saved points

Thienemans huge on that one

 

[boilermaker75]

A drive for a TD would take a lot of fight out of this Illinois team. Especially after they didn't take advantage of getting down to our 5 yard line.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

And I happily eat my crow. Nice job.

Not bad with the healthy greens, BBG.

 

[Zaphod_B]

Sweet!! D stiffened up, then got some luck!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

TE! yes, that's got to open up with Zico and Moore.

 

[FirstDownB]

Lovie looks confused

 

[Zaphod_B]
