We finally got the TE involved

 

[02Boilermaker]

The way the punting team's gunners always beat our guys, I have to believe the coaches' philosophy is to avoid holding penalties at all costs because it's a 10yd penalty at the point of the catch. I'm not sure a different PR would make much of a difference.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Close... fumbled (and recovered) instead...

for.......no yardage. wow.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

I thought they said they were going to play Sindelar in the second qtr and then decide about who to play in the second half

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ok, Boilers....finish this drive in the end-zone.

 

[Zaphod_B]

Ground and pound...

Its gonna be a long game at this pace.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Really, really like DJ Knox.

 

[Zaphod_B]

Is it? Usually lots of running lends itself to a short game doesn't it? (keeps the clock running...)

 

[BBG]

Looks like we are gonna run for a bit which I am fine with. It's working... Good change coach.

Good point and you're right as it seems as soon as the ball is caught there are gunners there. Handt thought of that until now.

Great observation.

Isn’t the new rule, if you fair catch a kickoff, you get it at the 25?

 

[boilerpete1]

Blough playing because of the rain and his running ability

I meant it's going to be closer than what I'd like with this offense.

 

[BoilerBiker]

We need to get the ball in Moore's hands!!!

that worked great.

keep the suggestions coming... need some more points

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Chop block. Cmon OL

 

[Zaphod_B]

ahhhhh, gotcha.... definitely agree with you there!!!

 

[purduepat1969]

This offense is SAD. And if they don't turn this around, they're going to get beat by a MAC team. Two penalties in the red zone pushing drives backward. Inexcusable.

 

[BoilerBiker]

well nevermind.

 

[FirstDownB]

What’s the Emu coach got his panties in a wad about?

 

[BBG]

That was on the rain . Not Moore.. but this offense is mostly one dimensional with Blough right now.

Ugly game.

 

[DannyGranger]

The Discipline- lack of, with this team is really concerning. Penalties are the one consistent thing these two weeks.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Glad I am not out there watching this game. This is painful right now

Yes, if called inside the 25-yd line.....goal is to reduce the number of kick-off returns.

I've emptied the Advil bottle left over from the NW game.

 

[purduepat1969]

I'm gonna need to have a drink soon. This is just pathetic.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Wow Moore was the PR. Did Jackson get hurt on that last PR?

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Sindelar is in

 

[BoilerBiker]

Can we PLEASE put someone other than Mr Fair Catch in to return punts.

wish granted

 

[IndySouthsider]

Yes, if called inside the 25-yd line.....goal is to reduce the number of kick-off returns.

Well they might as well do away with the kickoff then.

 

[BBG]

Now we are moving the ball. Like what ES is doing.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Finally using our TEs

 

[BBG]

You know I see what brohm was doing... He used Blough and the running game to soften the defense up.

It worked coach. Great plan

 

[PaBoiler78]

Sindelar is in

it's like night from day.

 

[Zaphod_B]

Sindelar is definitely the superior option when he is "on" and not throwing crazy picks (IMHO)...

 

[02Boilermaker]

Definitely think establishing the run early helped. I think every pass play this series has been play action.

 

[purduepat1969]

And this is THE example of why you play Sindelar the rest of the day.

 

[BBG]

Wow ES... Great drive.

 

[Zaphod_B]

Heck of a shovel pass there from Sindelar!

 

[BoilerBiker]

it's like night from day.

beautiful cap to a great drive
