O'Connell running faster than I thought he could!! 😂

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Gots to punch this in, fellas.

 

[purduepat1969]

Where was the flag???? You can't just block Anthrop from the pass!!!

 

[TC4THREE]

Going to need one more score to seal this one.

 

[BSIT]

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

Glad to see him come to his own. Hopefully he can help ease the pain of losing Bell next year

 

[Hausta01]

I don't get how that wasn't interference?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Well....more points, but that would have likely been the nail in the coffin.....still life for the Wildcats.

I saw a hat off - was he ineligible at that point to be first to touch - don't know if that changes the rule or not - there looked like there was the usual NW contact there.

this is why I didn't like going for 2 earlier.

 

[Dandelion1972]

Did you see their coach congratulate Jackson after that missed pass?

Big smile, jostled his helmet!

I am right there with you, PA.

 

[TC4THREE]

Now if they want to drive the field at 5 yards a carry on this drive, let them. Nothing big. NO PENALTIES.

 

[BSIT]

A special teams mistake? There's a surprise.

Except the biggie onside kick worked out even though it was by accident

 

[purduepat1969]

Our defensive line is just getting completely bottled up...

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Coverage sack, there.

 

[Zaphod_B]

Coverage Sack!!!

 

[purduepat1969]

Now the pressure is working!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Sacked Squared! And a missed holding call to boot.

 

[Zaphod_B]

coverage sack followed by real sack! love it!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

DOWN he goes, again!

 

[purduepat1969]

Surprised Sullivan didn't get a flag on that..

 

[TC4THREE]

4 straight sacks. Wonder how many times we've ever done that before.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

and then there's BIG GEORGE.......BOOM!!!

 

[BCfanatic2020]

Hell yeah! Defense staff adjusted and subbed some guys and the sack party began!

 

[Zaphod_B]

Wow! A sack on every play in a series! Thats crazy!

 

[BoilerGrad02]

4 in a row, I would think that might be a record.

 

[TC4THREE]

Surprised Sullivan didn't get a flag on that..

Well it certainly wasn't a facemask on replay but the way he yanked him around by the shoulder pads it would've been easy for an official to assume that maybe he had. Kudos on them for not jumping to that conclusion.

 

[boilermaker75]

They had a better chance punting and hoping for a fumble than picking up that 4th down. That should be game.

Exactly what I was thinking.

w/ some missed holds thrown in too. saw one on Dean

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Plenty of Sacks....Love it.

Should be but they still have their timeouts so we need to get them to burn through those.

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Joe Anderson sighting. Nice!

 

[BCfanatic2020]

White Castle crave case

 

[Dandelion1972]

Does AOC have another year if eligibility??

Yes, if he considers the wuhan year as a free pass.

 

[boilerpt]

Time to get Bell out of the game. I cringe watching these guys slip all over the place.

 

[Zaphod_B]

They're talking Dead & Co!! Deadheads unite!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Horvath....churning - take that clock down.

I saw that, and was trying to figure out which Purdue coach it was it first. then I figured it must’ve been a Northwestern player. He had a huge grin on his face, almost exaggerated. Please tell me that was a NW player and not Jackson, if so it would be really poor sportsmanship. Unless i’m reading it wrong and he was legit saying “good play”, but he got totally smeared on the play going for the ball.

In the old days - this would have called for a student celebratory feast.
