Nebraska at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[KentuckyBoiler]

I guess either way our offense will not score a TD

 

[Abugabby]

Only Purdue can get pass beyond the line of scrimmage ORRRRR pass interference. Dealer's choice from the refs.

 

[pboiler18]

How many points has the defense given up? Y'all just want to complain to complain. Most of y'all were predicting Neb to blow us out.

Don’t worry, it’s coming.

 

[qazplm]

Don’t worry, it’s coming.

Oh really? Another stop.

If it comes it will be because the offense is putrid not because the defense hasn't been playing their hearts out.

 

[NVboiler]

A third down successful completion.

 

[NVboiler]

Then lose 8 yards!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Tend to agree - Purdue's chances in this game hinge on the offense doing something......and certainly can't afford any turnovers.

Purdue - offense (91 yards), penalties (74 yards).....yikes.

Yes. The D has been average. I can see how you feel that’s a massive improvement though. Getting beat on man beater concepts pretty consistently.

The offense has been worse though.

 

[NVboiler]

I now realize why we can't score. The O has to wait until they're behind, their usual play.

Held them to zero almost the entire first half, averaging 30+, while spending most of the half on the field mind you, but "average." Got it.

Y'all ain't serious.

Or the defense scoring.

Letting them move at will between the 20s

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Good coverage from Heldt.....oh my - hold 'em to a FG would be a good result.

 

[qazplm]

I see, so you get points for that

 

[pboiler18]

This game is truly special

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Special Teams has been the MVP so far

 

[NVboiler]

Their FG unit is beyond bad.

 

[FLAG HUNTER]

Gotta give it to defense. They don’t quit!

 

[qazplm]

If you want Walters gone, feel free to argue. If you want the OC gone, I'm right there with you.

If you can't admit the defense played a very good first half then you're just being contrarian.

 

[boilermaker75]

But is 3 points insurmountable for our offense?

 

[HUD628]

Lmao this game is so stupid

 

[NVboiler]

WOW, who would have thought a 0-0 tie at half.

 

[boilermaker75]

Oops, I am not watching the game just checked on the web and it had said they made a FG, lol.

 

[Boiler8285]

Walters halftime interview “we need a drive”. No kidding. Maybe fire Harrell at halftime.

 

[NashvilleBoiler]

Props to the D. Fire the OC at half

 

[PaBoiler78]

WOW, who would have thought a 0-0 tie at half.

just got home, how are the field conditions?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Thank you, Nebby again......missed FG!

 

[HUD628]

They definitely did. A ton of their yards are simply from PI, a couple of which were questionable at best. The obvious one on Brown only happened because it was an absolutely horrible throw. Also Nebraska is kind of stupid and is just unwilling to run the ball. I wonder if Raiola has some clause in his contract that he has to throw x amount every game lol

 

[Thordog]

WOW, who would have thought a 0-0 tie at half.

with multiple blocked kicks

 

[tenwest]

Six pass interference’s in the first half. Yikes!
Can we get any kind of pass rush?

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Purdue has more penalty yards than offensive yards

 

[Jbigler1986]

That's what I've been saying. OC needs gone mid season. How the hell does he run an air raid offense? Our passing game is a nightmare. Not even trying.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

90-89 - penalty yards lead the offense. However, 0-0 - and Purdue certainly has a prime opportunity now to pull the upset.

I don't expect the defense to not collapse. It's almost impossible to spend as long as they have on the field and not give up a couple of touchdowns in the second half.

If this offense were just below average, I'd agree with you, but it's gotta be one of the worst in the nation and the defense can't be expected to hold up all game without the offense doing something.

Seems like the field is good...not much slipping.

I hear you - gotta find a way over the next 30 minutes - make some plays - dig deep, find inspiration......whatever.

Now, would I wager on it? I elect to defer on that.....haha.

Whatever happens, the defense gets steak and lobster, unless there's a serious turnaround, the offense gets expired Saltines, no water.

 

[NVboiler]

Now a 100 yards of penalties.

 

[NVboiler]

Now the usual, lose 5 yards immediately on first play..

 

[NVboiler]

Another successful 3rs down play. Go Mock!
