Game Thread: Purdue @ Illinois

[BoilerBulldog]

Which brothers played together in 2002?

Roger Orton, third string long snapper?

 

[Zaphod_B]

Knox, keeps chuggin..

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

sloppy, papi....

and another gift from the Illini.....tis the season.

 

[Dandelion1972]

Mike Mendez saw some action at right guard at the end of the first half.

Anyone know if he's played before?

 

[LonestarBoilerFan]

Nice rushing TD for Moore!!!

Boiler Up!!!

 

[NVboiler]

MOoRE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Lovie looks confused

Lovie still looks confused.

 

[boilermaker75]

Score here and score to start the second half and it is over.

We did, I'm calling it a game!

 

[Zaphod_B]

Lovie still looks confused.

Dude... He ALWAYS looks confused...

 

[boilermaker75]

Nice rushing TD for Moore!!!

Boiler Up!!!

It goes as a TD pass.

 

[boilermaker75]

Safeties keep getting bailed out with bad passes or bad receiving.

Got to get that fixed before OSU.

 

[SIBoiler2]

Lovie still looks confused.

You sure that's not Darrell with a beard and shades minus the turtleneck.

 

[Zaphod_B]

Not too bad as far as INT's go... a punt will probably have put them in abou tthe same field position..

 

[boilermaker75]

If you are going to get an interception you want to be up 29 points and be like a punt.

 

[boilermaker75]

Yep, not going to hurt. We already got this one.

Why is that DB strutting around? Does he not know the score?

Exactly, they don't have the right mindset to be successful. All me and no team. Like the Illinois QB not handing off because he wants to run the ball. I would bench him.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Our defense has played well today

 

[boilermaker75]

That stadium shot showed a Hazel-like crowd. I guess "crowd" is not the right term.

 

[FirstDownB]

You sure that's not Darrell with a beard and shades minus the turtleneck.

Did you see the fans with the Lovie beards? I think those are headed for the same dumpster with the squared off Hazell ball caps.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Knox!!

 

[BoilerBulldog]

I’d like to see Sindelar get some reps in the 4th.

 

[boilermaker75]

I’d like to see Sindelar get some reps in the 4th.

I think this coming score will be the end of Blough's day.

 

[FirstDownB]

I’d like to see Sindelar get some reps in the 4th.

Clear the bench. Keep the starters healthy and fresh for OSU.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Let's save some of those trick plays for next week's game

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Solid as Fort Knox on that run....not sure that was really a late hit....but keep marching 'em off.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Knox will not be denied

 

[LonestarBoilerFan]

574yds of total offense. Not bad for a days work!

 

[Zaphod_B]

I like when the "outlet" is almost already to a 1st down when he catches it..

 

[BoilerBulldog]

I think there’s value in trying them out in live action and giving OSU something to think about. Sometimes a fake trick play is even better than the trick. Remember the fake flea flicker?

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Don't get hurt David!

 

[LonestarBoilerFan]

I felt like Blough could have run that in, but the memory of last year was there

 

[Zaphod_B]

I'm not real confident in the FG kickers... prove me wrong..

 

[Zaphod_B]

I'm not real confident in the FG kickers... prove me wrong..

Yay! it worked!

Today is the 9th 300+ yd passing game of Blough's career. On Purdue's career list, he now only trails Brees (16), Painter (12), and Everett (10) when it comes to 300+ yd passing days.

Hopefully he ties Everett next weekend

 

[NVboiler]

Here's what I believe to be a Chicago Tribune writer's comment earlier-
"#Illini had great crowd today with announced 41,966. After last Purdue TD for 36-7 early third quarter lead, I think I just saw 41,960 head for exits."

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Now we see why Moore does all our punt returns

 

[BoilerBulldog]

And that’s why I don’t miss Anthrop returning punts.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Hopefully he ties Everett next weekend

I’ve somehow forgotten how prolific Painter was.
