[Travis Miller]

For the first time in 11 years Notre Dame comes to West Lafayette. Purdue is also seeking to win the Shilellagh for the first time since 2007.

Purdue flag now flying proudly over my Las Vegas home. Let's return to the Mollenkopf years where Purdue's record was 10-4 against them, and during my four years at Purdue football 3-1 from 1962 through 1965. Not being from Indiana, this was always my big game there. Curb stomp them!!!!!

Let's do this!

wearing all black on a hot sunny day, not a fan

I'll reserve final judgment until after the game....haha......but, I've never really liked the all black.

Gotta be hot out there to your point.

 

[pboiler18]

Lol

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Goodness - no edge at all there - way too easy for the opponent.

 

[HUD628]

Jenkins…yikes

 

[purduedavie]

That was an ugly first possession. Why does Theineman play 30 yards downfield? Last year they did that and it drove me nuts.

 

[RossMackey]

Not an optimal start— no defensive penetration or containment 😱

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Well that sucked

 

[PaBoiler78]

Jenkins…yikes

like BC said he's too slow for MLB, and I said to watch out for their #4

That’s our “genius” scheme!

 

[qazplm]

Feels like we will never understand how to deal with a running QB.

I'd rather play a hotshot pocket passer than a mediocre QB who can run

against a young OL too

Dline wasn't great against ISU

 

[PaBoiler78]

lots of low snaps by Gus

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Can't afford to give up another score here......

[qazplm]

Welp, I never expected a win today. Still don't, but surely would like to see a better effort going forward. I don't mind a competitive loss. I'm not going to feel very positive if we get blown out at home to a team that just lost how they did last week.

big series for sure

It’s like Purdue is shorthanded on defense having him that far back.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

There you go, defense - a nice stop.

 

[RDUBoiler]

Good three-and-out on the second possession.

What sucks is that the alternative has no more speed than KJ. I’m not sure he isn’t actually faster than Yanni

 

[RDUBoiler]

That fair catch play could have been disastrous. Not sure what that blocker was doing, but if the ball touches him, it's a live ball, right?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Very special indeed, still....wow....could have been disaster TWICE.

it all gets down to recruiting better LB's, one of my main bitches over the years

yes, plus the previous play was iffy

Fify....haha.

 

[qazplm]

Man both lines playing not great

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Man both lines playing not great

Have to agree.....without that changing does not bode well for a decent game unless Purdue gets a bunch of mistakes from the Irish.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Man both lines playing not great

Gus couldn't handle Kiser on that blitz

 

[qazplm]

If each line struggles like this it's gonna be a long season.

Having good skill position players doesn't matter if they get pressure every play

 

[HUD628]

Nothing looks good. Hartwig can’t even snap it right smh

 

[RDGBoiler92]

Like to see some screen passes when they blitz

 

[qazplm]

Do we not have containment? Good grief
