Gameday Predictions/Game Thread:

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

I'll take Purdue in this one and they probably throw a score or two up late to push the lead out:

Purdue 36
Minny 24

 

[Boiler Wolf]

31-21 Boilers.

 

[MilwaukeeBoilerFan]

28-24 Boilers. Turnover ratio wins it for the Boilers in the second half. Close to the finish.

I like this score but with Minnesota scoring late as we take the foot off the gas with a large lead.

 

[Dennis H.]

I think minnys discipline gets us, 31-21 bad guys, hope I am wrong

 

[Kly]

No way Purdue loses today on the day they honor Coach Tiller. Emotions will be high....this will be the most impressive win this year.

 

[mediaexpert]

Purdue 31 Minny 10

 

[BoilerGal74]

Unless we see a lot of injuries...agree the boys are doing this for Coach Tiller....38-18. Smack those Gophers!!!

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Brees in town as well this week. Do you let him speak before the game? Maybe Arnett? Colvin?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Win for Joe....in memory of some classic games under Joe Tiller against the Golden Gophers.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Stadium looks a little emptier than I had hoped for......

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Hopefully the Minny kid is ok but Hunte just laid the wood.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Hopefully the Minny kid is ok but Hunte just laid the wood.

Yeah......that was a big time hit.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Whoo Hoo!!! Boiler Up!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Holy cow......can you be more open?

TD!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Yeah......that was a big time hit.

should probably be targeting. that was helmet to helmet.

shankapotomus

He probably won't kick other than kickoffs the rest of the game. Shanked the first one as well and then over compensated

 

[boilermaker75]

Arnette is not there. Joe's son Mike is.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Anyone notice the bubble screen for the first offensive play? Very classy

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

blough got popped too. guess we are hitting today

 

[StickPurdue]

Purdue strikes fast. Misses the xp, but still the offense made it look laughably easy. A very good sign to score quick, not so great to miss the xp.

Two tackles that could have possibly been called targeting. The big hit by Hunt (even though it should not have been called, his helmet hit above the shoulders). The other was the hit on Blough when he threw for the score. He got hit high. It feels like they could call that 9-10 times a game, but when/why they call it seems like a coin flip.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Arnette is not there. Joe's son Mike is.

Probably too emotional for her to be there but sure bet she is watching....

Unless it's Purdue... then no question it's called...lol

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

minne looking ragged early.

 

[boilermaker75]

Yes, we would have been called for that.

Probably too emotional for her to be there but sure bet she is watching....

This was a game they were coming back to celebrate with his 20th anniversary team.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

ugh...awful pass

 

[boilermaker75]

They were supposed to be there to celebrate Joe's 20th anniversary team.

 

[ahhculdee]

Bad interception. Mistakes pulling up already. Can't have those on a windy day.

 

[Dandelion1972]

why no review on the fumble/no fumble?

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

man they cant cover the ends

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Turnovers.....the great equalizer or momentum killer.

Nice scramble pick-up for Blough.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

worship sighting

 

[boilermaker75]

two awful throws

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Captain obvious here........awful decision/throw......sheesh.

 

[BBG]

Our offense sucks. Tons of beer may make me regret this... But our offense sucks . Thanks Hazzell.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Blough probably needs to sit this game...back to hero ball throws that led to 20+ Ints last season

 

[Dennis H.]

Blough being Blough

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

cmon man

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

Ugh, getting Blough , 2016 version so far.
Yikes
