Wow - that's how you let an inferior opponent get right back in the game. You're killing me, Boilers.

This game just has that feel of a close loss at the end. Too many mistakes and missed opportunities that half. It’s never good to give a bad team confidence.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Goodness sakes...keep letting them stay in the game...

can't let them assholes score on a 4th down there esp after not doing anything the whole half.

How do we blow out Mich St and Iowa. Play great O against Ohio St. And then play like dog shit against NW? Hope we see some 2nd half adjustments...

Stupid mistakes is right

Also the growing pains of inconsistency and playing to the level of the competition. Need a solid second half effort here.....we shall see.

Happy that I can’t see this mess. Big 10 network is showing Penn State vs Rutgers. My cable doesn’t offer multiple Big 10 channels. (Verizon FIOS).

I'm in EPa. and it's on the 2 BIG10 alternate channels.

It would be nice just to see a 28 -10 game vs a team like them instead of such a muddled mess.

Even though that benefitted us, that slip on the kickoff amplifies why playing games on this field is a joke.

This turf is a shitshow...

 

[PaBoiler78]

This turf is a shitshow...

gotta take advantage of the quick change op

 

[TC4THREE]

This turf is a shitshow...

We need to come out and get a 3 possession lead then try to bleed out the rest of the game without getting any key players hurt.

This turf is a shitshow...

And it's only getting worse.

 

[PaBoiler78]

gotta take advantage of the quick change op

yes, 3rd and 2 and a run to Horvath

 

[BSIT]

This turf is a shitshow...

The non onside kick worked out for us but hope no one gets hurt.

Bell is just a master of keeping his balance...

 

[purduepat1969]

We just keep shooting ourselves in the foot...

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

[purduepat1969]

Another great pitch and catch!

Too early to go for 2 there

 

[PaBoiler78]

And here come the flags again.....

now chasing points early in the game after Wright's TD.

 

[BBG]

TD wright!!!

SPOILER!

As usual my feed is behind.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Wright! another TD!

Order restored.....for now.

 

[BSIT]

Glad to see Wright has the Wright hands today

 

[boilermaker75]

Too early to play the two-point conversion game.

 

[TC4THREE]

Major props to Milton Wright. He has really come on as this season progressed. Thought those drops were really going to plague him through his entire career but the past 6 or so game he's developed into a reliable option.

Flashbacks to the Outback Bowl.

Agree. Especially with an offense as anemic as Northwestern's. Not hard to see them kicking a couple field goals the rest of the way.

 

[boilermaker75]

Hold them and drive for another TD to put this away. I don't know the time of possession, but it has to be heavily in our favor. NW's defense should be getting tired soon.

Especially considering our offense’s short yardage shortcomings.

He's a great weapon. Works hard. Deserves the success he has. Look forward to seeing him grow the next season or 2!

A special teams mistake? There's a surprise.
