Iowa - Purdue Game Discussion Thread

I’m dreaming of Rainbows and Unicorns when Moore and Bell out there together....Ohohoh! Go George!

Karlaftis blowing Cronk up

Purdue and Iowa are either both good or both blow lol. I can’t tell which yet

Perhaps somewhere in between....I think when playing well each can hang with most of the conference, but both may struggle at times.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

BIG George! and Down he goes!

Ready for the Dynamic Duo to play together

Gotta figure this DL out

IU is trashing PSU

 

[purduepat1969]

O’Connell is surprising good for a walk-on in my opinion.

The problem is, we're playing a "serviceable" walk on in season #4. Why?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ok....gonna get one last shot in this half. Hanging in there.

IU is trashing PSU

No offense but so? Has nothing to do with our game.

 

[Dennis H.]

IU is trashing PSU

Saw bits..sounds like PSU has turned it over 3 times

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Is it just me, or did anyone see a flash of that punt heading for the legs of an unsuspecting Boiler blocking?

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

AOC with the INT

I watched Rutgers today. Both teams look better.

Neither is starting a GD walk-on.

 

[purduepat1969]

It's time to end the Aidan O'Connell experiment.

 

[boilermaker75]

telegraphed that pass

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ouch.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

It's time to end the Aidan O'Connell experiment.

Agree with that

 

[Dennis H.]

telegraphed that pass

Stared him down the whole time

 

[BoilerGal74]

Well Fudge!! Ok D....Time to step up this last 31 seconds.....!!!

 

[NashvilleBoiler]

Unreal

 

[IndySouthsider]

We are just not a good football team in year 4. Rondale should opt back out now.

 

[purduepat1969]

Four guys standing in the secondary, each covering no one. Great job...

 

[Dennis H.]

Linebackers need to get deeper in their drops in this stuation

 

[wallyboiler79]

LOL. I know exactly what you were thinking.

 

[AZPurdue]

No pass rush. Soft defense.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Somewhat fortunate to only give up a FG here.

 

[boilerpt]

This.

 

[purduepat1969]

Diaco needs to start ripping some @ss. There's no reason to be this pathetic on D.

 

[IndySouthsider]

I like the aggressive play with 59 seconds but I was shocked to see who we started at QB.

 

[bananabucket]

14 point swing earlier, another 6 point swing there

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

AOC is good for a walk on. Exactly, walk on.

We are the Cradle of QBs. Walk ons at QB should be playing mop up time for us, not starting.

 

[BCfanatic2020]

A lot of things that you just shouldn’t see in year 4..

 

[FLAG HUNTER]

Secondary is really sucking today

 

[purduepat1969]

I like then aggressive play with 59 seconds but I was shocked to see who we started at QB.

What we saw is exactly what I feared. Scholarship QBs not able to distance themselves from a "serviceable" walk on. It's a bit of an indictment on Brian Brohm in not better developing talent.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Please Football Gods...Don’t let IU beat PSU. Our Boards will be insufferable...

 

[BCfanatic2020]

It’s such a weird fan base that 1) what you said is spot on, 2) you stating this truth will be interpreted as you saying that O’Connell can’t do anything right and that you personally dislike O’Connell

Who cares if he's a walk-on or not? If he is the best player start him! I can see how it could be a recruiting issue, but maybe he was just underrecruited... or maybe he's REALLY developed... If he's the best player, start him - and give him a chance! If he doesn't pan out, fine, but there is no reason to have an anti-walkon bias when he is playing the best of available options.

As a running back or a QB...

Have to agree. For offensive minded geniuses they are not great at identifying QB talent. Honestly other than Bell what does this team have in offense!
