Northwestern - Purdue Game Thread

Tonight, vs Illinois, or vs Iowa? because yes to all three
Hard to win when your best players on both O and D aren’t playing
I think O Connel looked lost tonight, especially the last series. Maybe it wasn't all him but he made some poor decisions
We need to stop using the Rondale thing as a reason we're losing. We have PLENTY of talent at WR. Our QB play was horrible tonight and our offense in the first half was pathetic and predictable.
Is it just me, or did Brohm really not do a very good job coaching? I think he made a lot of blunders tonight. Ultimately, that's why Purdue lost. I legitimately thought we had a shot, and I'm thoroughly disappointed. But when has Purdue ever failed to disappoint, at least in the last 20 seasons?
He is not a “throw a guy open” QB. The guy has to already be open. His decision making is way too slow. We still had a chance to tie though.
Also, hard to win with who we have behind center.
Tough battle.....Boilers need to regroup and go punch another hole in the boat in Minnesota on Friday.
Offensive coaches = F. Horvath gets an A
No. Coaching and QB play tonight made it hard to win. Brohm was not a good coach and our offense was not good.
It was like throw it long and hope. Odds are that will not work.
I feel pretty good that we beat them with Karlaftis and Moore, but yeah they were very clearly the better team tonight
Not as confident about that game right now. PJ always seems to have our number. Hope we break that streak.
stop with the damn excuses. Moore wasn't coming back and we have all kinds of recievers. Secondary isn't any good and that is not changing. Scholarship QBs on the bench and we play a walk on that can't move. We could keep blaming Hazell.
My favorite play was a 4 yard completion to Amad Anderson on 2nd and 10 in the 4th quarter. Easy pitch and catch play that got us to a bowl game 2 years ago
We have always sucked against physical defensive teams because we have no running game. Horvath tries extremely hard. But he's just in no way, shape, or form the answer.
kind of agree here, long low percentage passes, but it worked vs Ill. w/ Bell's miracle one hander.
Yea i felt like they got away with a ton of holding as well. We fought hard. Disappointed in a loss obviously but lost by 7 to an undefeated team. And we had chances to win. Regroup and win next week. Boiler Up!
This. Many times over. And if I am agreeing with lenny, that is saying something.
This one is strictly on the guy coaching. He decided our qb, passing plays and clock management. We just don't seem confident and it's been this way during his tenure.
Garrett Miller has a monster TD catch and we never go back to him. Hmmm...
Purdue was fortunate to be in this game, at no time did I think the Boilers were going to win. Look, O'Connell is a nice story, probably a decent back up QB, however, Purdue isn't going to beat many good teams with him under center every Saturday. Time to start the UCLA transfer and see what he can do, O'Connell and Plumber aren't leading Purdue anywhere. Also, next off season Purdue needs to go the NW route and try to bring in a solid QB from another program.
I'll call bullshit. Defense wasn't the problem. Offense was completely incompetent and it's not a "Rondale" thing. It's a coaching and QB thing. Brohm makes peculiar and erratic decisions with choosing a QB. It's going to end up costing him his job.
all of these teams recruit from the same talent pool, land alot of 3 stars and have some 4 stars, so you get alot of close games where 3 to 5 plays are the difference.
You can keep bringing in transfers. But they're not getting developed. Plain and simple.
I don't understand Jeff's fascination with AOC and going down with the Titanic. He had Sindelar and Blough, who were head and shoulders better, and he would yank them out after an INT or fumble, but AOC could throw multiple INTs and/or fumbles and he will stick with him no matter what.
I don't give a rats ass what you call. I'm not going to agree with you so I'm not going to bother arguing about it.
His best year was with Hazell recruits. We are just treading water in a sea of mediocracy. 2 damn yards rushing.
