40 points and a big FU to Izzo after complaining about Zach's fouls...
I agree, he took a hard foul, if he gets hurt that would have been a disaster. Not a fan of that.
I'm not a fan of it. But I love putting it in Izzo's face...
Painter said it was because MSU went big. Take it for what it's worth lol
That was an odd answer, maybe he didn’t think the game was over, it clearly was though.
They foul Edey hard on every play...what's the difference? He deserved a shot at 40. Izzo ran the score up on us for years when he had the chance. Sorry Tom, keep crying!
The difference is that its worth the risk to win the game. But once the game is over, why risk it?
Exactly iu and msu ran it up on us when we were down. F them. We didn't forget. Or Tacos getting punched.
In the interview with Raftery, Matt Painter just said it was personnel driven because Michigan State had gone small - then went big. I guess you get sometimes so locked in that mode - you don't realize it? Maybe an asst. reminds him of the score. That's also the paranoia and Boilerepherine talking too.
True. It appears that Painter was just so much into the game he really didn’t consider the score. I don’t think he was trying to run up the score anything like that.
Exactly, he’s friends with Izzo, he wasn’t trying to run it up. I think he made an honest mistake, it happens in the heat of the battle.
Exactly! I believe Brandon Dawson got in Painter's face as well. Izzo did nothing about any of those dirty plays.
I questioned it also, but then I remembered Whiney Pants was on the other bench. The refs sure let that last hard foul go from MSU on Zach, so commonsense finally came in.
I don’t have an issue with it. I share Painter’s paranoia that leads can disappear quickly and better to wait a little long than to make the move too early.
TKR's reaction when he did come in to take Edey out rejects that theory.
TKR told Painter to let Zach get his 40 😂 what a guy!
For sure. They were going for 40. I'm not a fan of it, but not making a big deal of it either.
I have it on good authority that leaving Zach in to constant crush was CMPs response to the:
"Purdue bench and fans took a photo of the final score" thread. tfwiw 😁

When you’ve got someone in the running for national player of the year, you don’t sit him out just to be nice. Look what that did for Drew Brees, a runner-up to the immortal Chris Weinke after the latter’s running up numbers that led the nation. Bigger numbers buy more votes.
Those who worry about injuries should stay safe at home with all our 2022 football players who quit the team. They didn’t hurt a thing, unless you count their teammates who got them there.

Florida State also went 11-2 that year, compared to Purdue at 8-3. Brees was hardly sat all year.
Edey should have sat.
When Purdue went up 49-14 in the Bucket game, did Tiller take Brees out?
No, he had him throw a 50 yard post route to Vinny for another touchdown.
I understgand and agree. But the potential for injury at this point in the MSU game was a bit different. And, I underline that is just not Painter's character.
That would’ve been perfect if it had ever happened, but Montrell Lowe’s fourth touchdown run of the game with 9:52 left to play was the last score of the 41-13 Rose Bowl clincher. Drew had just one TD pass in that 2000 finale against the loosiers after getting four plus David Edgerton’s later two in his 52-7 Bucket win as a sophomore and none in the 30-24 win as a junior.
The more the merrier. Scoring 40 beats scoring 38. Especially after getting mugged.
Edey finished just six points over Rick Mount’s career average. Maybe the Rocket should have been yanked much more often to avoid possibly getting hurt … feelings.
My bad. I was at the game, but had forgotten Edgerton had come in to finish it. He threw a 24 yard TD to Vinny with 58 seconds left to put Purdue up 52-7.
