Nebraska/Iowa
- Thread starter purduepat1969
- Start date
Nebraska was in great position, then the 4th quarter happens.
Well as bad as Martinez played sometimes… Frost never pulled him, and now we know why.
How he parlayed what he has actually done into an extension is beyond me...if he had not played there, no way that happens.
He won’t have to worry about that at Nebraska too much longer I am sure
I hope nothing happens to him. He is good for Purdue.
Nebraska played against Purdue very well in the first half but the Boilers rebounded in the second half and led 28 to 17 prior to the Huskers last td with about one and a half minutes left.Nebraska played the same way today also,but held onto the lead until the fourth quarter.What a bunch of chumps.
At some point in time when you play so many close games and still lose you point the the finger at one person - the coach. Basically they are not playing or focused to win. Rather they are focused on stats! They are playing to look competitive! At some point in time you need to stop looking at your stats and playing competitive and just concentrate on one thing - winning! Throw out the style points. Nobody remembers style. Just win! Even winning ugly is still a win! When Purdue plays IU, the only thing that matters is the win! You need to go for the glory and the rest will follow!
Iowa is one of the most boring teams ever. But every year they win at least 8 games. And with wins comes respect!
So don’t do what Frost does! Do what Lombardi did. Just win baby

I could not agree more.
They love to tout how many games that he has lost by 7 or less, but, on a day like today where he/they blew a 15-point lead and were in complete control, that is incredibly misleading.
He has lost a lot of games by 7 or less...that is accurate...but, he has been a major part in a number of those losses.
I am thrilled that he got the extension that he did not deserve...bless than fanbase for going through what they have and remaining as loyal and passionate as they are (that, and, out of touch with reality).
And they have a veteran laden team.. losing Jo Jo domann is going to hurt them more than losing karlaftis or bell will hurt us., they had 4 sixth year seniors this year who were good players. The backseat sports podcast made a case that even with good coaching their personnel won’t be better on either side of the ball. They didn’t play any young guys all year and still went 3-9. Literally no young guys played.
For a 3-9 team
You guys can fill a stadium. All BS aside. Iowa’s been prepared lucky all year. Their were adjustments made and you played terrible at the wrong time. And you got ALL the calls. Better luck next time. Frosty will get you guys there.

Just in case anyone is wondering about their fans and how they think.. check out post 5. They think doing better than Iowa is their birth rite and that it will only be a matter of time. When, in reality, in this conference… where the physicality makes it a TERRIBLE idea to have an offense based on a QB who runs first .. they may never have Iowa’s success
but that’s how they all think.. no matter how many rubes they sucker into thinking they’re sooo nice in person
We needed Nebraska to win and also Minnesota so that we could get a share of first place with a win today.
There will be better days. One more year of us doing things right and Nebraska doing things wrong and it’s likely we never go below them in stature
You have respect for Iowa after the truth emerged about the long-time strength coach?
How about respect for Penn State and MSU? UNC? Pitino, Calipari?
All it takes for respect is to win, in your view?
That is the most mindless cliche in the sports world.
Dejected Nebraska fans at the end
Nebraska fans like to act like this isn’t a rivalry because they’re still above iowa despite getting their asses kicked every year. All those dejected fans at the end of the game for a three win team shows they absolutely care, you would’ve thought they just lost the division.

Lmao … read the end of post 27… one of the many reasons Iowa fans are awesome
Yep, and Purdue had one of the more comfortable wins against Nebraska. It was the only game when Nebraska fans left early.
I don't think I've ever seen a 3-9 team that outscored its opposition, let alone by 335-272. Nebraska finished 1-8 in B1G games, yet its points for/points against was exactly even 239-239. It's unbelievable how many close games they lost.
A baseball coach once pointed out to me that an all star caliber player in the 90s was unreal when his team was up or down 3 runs and absolutely sucked when the game was close. That is Nebraska
I am talking about recruiting this year and next by saying we went 8-4 and was tied for first in our conference. Few recruits will care if we are above or below Nebraska in stature. IMO most want to go to a program that is trending upward.
In marketing, the more positives you can say the easier the sale. Being in a Bowl Game is an upward trend, but where it is played and how big of a Bowl it is makes a huge difference. It also adds if we win. If we get in a crappy Bowl without a big audience and then lose, yes we are treading upward, but...
I would take us trending upward while Nebraska, northwestern and Illinois trend downward
The losses on defenses are notable, but they also lose a lot of key players on offense that are leading in production, e.g. reception leaders: 1st Toure 898 yards, 2nd Allen 602 yards, and 5th Falk 223 yards.
Offense
QB Martinez (likely)
WR Toure
WR Falk
TE Allen
OG Sichterman
On defense, Nebraska basically loses their entire secondary and loses a lot of size up front with Daniels, Stille, and Thomas. They should be fine at linebacker, especially with Honas returning, but Iowa showed how you can run the ball without Daniels plugging up the middle. Also, PFF graded Domann, Britt, and Stille as the only defenders scoring above 70 overall.
Defense
NT Daniels
DT Stille
DT Thomas
NB/OLB Domann
S Williams
S Dismuke
CB Cam-Taylor Britt
The 2023 class is the critical one for Purdue, which replaces the 2019 class. This season was important for Brohm to recapture some momentum, especially when you consider that Purdue has a good chance of reaching 9-4 with one of the hardest schedules in the country. Adding together another year of NFL Draft buzz, this winning season, and continuity with the coaching staff, then the 2023 class will have strong tailwinds for improvements in recruiting.
The 2022 class is sneaky good too, so Purdue is in a good spot. Purdue's roster still has an air pocket from the weaker 2016 and 2017 classes and a mediocre 2018 class. The offensive line is still young and will continue to improve as it continues to mature. The next four years look good for Purdue fans.
I don’t know about linebacker .. domann was one of the best players in the big ten and THE player who kept things from getting very ugly for Nebraska. Backseat was saying that honas is good but nowhere near the player domann is .. Heinrich is just alright.
Also the losses you talk about are one thing in a scenario like us in 2018 where you see a cam Allen and a Cory trice get their feet wet late in the year. Nebraska didn’t have any young players getting their feet wet
Yeah, I agree. I just meant they will have decent experience coming back at linebacker, but they don't have anyone who can replace the role Domann played. Nebraska could have the biggest defensive regressions in the Big Ten next year, similar to what we saw with Northwestern this year.
Very true. Also.. not a good thing to lose most of your secondary when facing Purdue
