I realize we're playing with one arm tied behind our back, but Purdue was still in good position to have a shot at winning Saturday.
I thought Brohm made a few questionable play calls that hurt.
1) Not going for it on 4th and 4 midway through the 4th with the ball at midfield. I know, I know...great call if you make it, terrible call if you don't.
2) kicking onsides down 7 with plenty of time left and the defense playing well ( and Iowa playing very conservatively). We gave them the ball at the 40 and they scored 2 plays later.
3) on a few late 4th qtr drivers, calling QB draws? Never understand why you call a QB draw with a pocket passer. Isn't that how Sindelar got hurt? It also burns precious clock that you need when you're behind late in the game.
