Game Thread: Purdue @ Michigan State

[IndySouthsider]

Dumb doesn't begin to describe it. Who in the h&ll doesn't go after the football after the block when it's still in the field of play?????

Offense can’t advance. We did touch it. Defender wasn’t aware and covered it up. He thought what you did.

Actually if no one went after it the play would have been called dead, right?

 

[PUQBMan.]

And of course we start celebrating and don't pick up the FB. WTF???

You aren’t supposed to pick up the football. That’s why it was such a stupid play. Any 3rd grade pee-wee player should know that

 

[FLAG HUNTER]

Gotta do something different on offense

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Schopper? You're up.

He has been up a lot today

 

[IndySouthsider]

That may cost us the game right there

 

[BoilerinPA]

One of the first things you are taught playing special teams, if the blocked kick heads towards your own goal line, get away from it. Too many bad things can happen. A fumble. Poor field position. Etc. Really poor decision there.

 

[ahhculdee]

No offense.

Wouldn't the ball be called dead at the one regardless if he didn't pick it and advance it?

 

[Lionheart1]

Well this should bring everyone back to earth for the balance of the season. O$U win will just be a fond memory.

No. The ball goes back to where it was kicked.

 

[purduepat1969]

No. The ball goes back to where it was kicked.

Thanks! My bad. I'm dumber than the player that fell on it!

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

We need a turnover

 

[BoilerinPA]

No. The ball comes back to the line of scrimmage.

 

[bonefish1]

Wow. MSU d making our offense inept. O line really struggling.

 

[purduepat1969]

5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and Purdue has possessed the ball for what, 30 seconds?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Wouldn't the ball be called dead at the one regardless if he didn't pick it and advance it?

Don't think so. It would just be like a missed kick out of the field of play. My understanding of the rules is that the offense can only advance it if the kick is blocked and goes behind the line of scrimmage.

Defense can recover/return if beyond the LOS but is not required to do so.

 

[purduepat1969]

The defense is really really bad today...

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Our secondary are several yards from their WRs consistently

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Lombardi is out playing Blough by far.

Lombardi: 19/34 233 yards 1 TD 0 INT
Blough: 16/30 119 yards 0 TD 1 INT

 

[bonefish1]

Lombardi playing a helluva game. No poor decisions and hitting the open receiver.

 

[purduepat1969]

Lombardi is out playing Blough by far.

Lombardi: 19/34 233 yards 1 TD 0 INT
Blough: 16/30 119 yards 0 TD 1 INT

Bough may as well not have shown up today. Really, really poor performance.

Blough: 16/30 119 yards 0 TD 1 INT

I would not have guessed Blough had over a 100 yards passing

 

[arcb102000]

But his receivers are wide open for the most part and no pass rush pressuring him.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

I think Blough gets one more possession. If Sindelar is healthy enough to play, you have to give him a shot in the 4th quarter. Blough has been as bad as Sindelar was the first game against NU, minus the TO’s.

 

[pu1985]

Hard to blame it all on the D.
The offense has been awol all game.
Sigh...

The way they're running the clock, Purdue may only get two possessions.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Didn’t Ramsey march IU down the field on these guys?

 

[IndySouthsider]

Well that was fantastic

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Wow, we have life!!

 

[purduepat1969]

Wow! Now gotta hold them and get the ball back.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Hopkins !!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Finally......right back in the game, Boilers. No complaints with ugly wins if Purdue can somehow pull this one out.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Ok. Defense. Need a stop or TO.

No way

 

[purduepat1969]

C'mon defense!!

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Like that we have energy on the sidelines finally

 

[02Boilermaker]

Getting the TE involved just seems to open up so much for the offense.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Uhhhh review

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

wow.....that good vibe didn't last long.

edit - have to review that one.
