Ugh

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Yeah. That sucked.

 

[pastorjoeboggs]

Whee!

 

[BoilerStutz]

Maybe just maybe this is why attendance is down. That was a junior high pass. Purdue has got to recruit some Big Ten athletes. I thought Hazell could do this. Apparently not.

 

[BBG]

Second series is much better. Still, can't give up easy points that early on.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Liking our OL so far. Great series.

Agree and Knox is running over people.

 

[Boilers1975]

Awesome drive ! If you're going to screw up best to do it early...O-line looked good !

 

[pastorjoeboggs]

Knox looks like the real deal.

 

[BelizeBoiler]

Go Ugly Early! Second series was much better.

 

[immortal06]

Solid response; time for Austin to move forward now that he's gotten his inner-Etling out.

 

[threeeputtt]

I am ordering my Rose Bowl airfare as we watch!

 

[purduehayseed]

Yeah. That sucked.

maybe our gameplan was to spot Marshall the spread, then start playing.....
nice answer to a srewup tho.....

 

[studed]

defense solid in first series

 

[PaBoiler78]

defense solid in first series

esp. Bentley

 

[pastorjoeboggs]

Knox is running the ball really well? Awesome, we'll throw the ball three times.

Welcome to the John Shoop offense.

 

[Augie85]

I watched the interception again and the defender was holding our receiver which allowed their other guy to pic it off. he had both arms around his waist and no call so I don't hold him totally responsible for the pic

 

[BBG]

Good series followed up with a bad series on both sides of the ball.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

sigh...

Welcome to the John Shoop offense.

Lol.. I think that is exactly what happened too.

 

[BBG]

Offense looks the same as last year....

 

[pastorjoeboggs]

Offense looks the same as last year....

If our offensive line is so freaking good, why the heck can't we line up in an I formation and run the damn ball?!

 

[Augie85]

what would you expect from Shoop. looks like some decent players and no good game plan

 

[boilersallthewaynow]

If our offensive line is so freaking good, why the heck can't we line up in an I formation and run the damn ball?!

So far, same old same old.

Shoop would never allow it. We have a good line and a good set of backs

And now a huge special teams blunder

 

[BBG]

So far, same old same old.

We don't agree very often, but on this we do.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

nice touch on the deep ball

welcome back, Mr. Yancey

 

[ss32000]

Don't think that was a play call since the left tackle was 5 yards down the field. It works though

 

[BBG]

Most certainly some talent on this team. Nice play by AA

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Great series! Now let's get a stop.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

im seeing lots of improvement but just really poor execution at this point. Guys needs to make proper reads and make the plays they should.

 

[Augie85]

nice southern accent of the officials. guess they're not big ten.

 

[BigTimeAt69]

It was the first quarter of first game....

Really never know what the 1st quarter of the season is going to bring

 

[Augie85]

cheap call.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

That's a fumble.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

That's a catch!

 

[threeeputtt]

That's a fumble.

That is a catch

 

[BBG]

That's a catch!

Yeah it is.

 

[Augie85]

officials are blind
