Playing Tennessee!!!!
- Thread starter SunnyFL24
- Start date
OSU is #1 in the nation in scoring offense at 45.5 ppg and total offense at 551 ypg.
It’s a 50/50 game. Purdue will score a lot, our D is slaw. It comes down to our offense. When it’s in sync it’s beautiful to watch and close to unstoppable unless you have a UGA/Bama level defense.
But they don’t play in the SEC or they’d be 99th in the nation .. duh
this board is gonna be unreadable until the 30th
there's an old saying, "there's nothing more irrelevant than the halftime score". Maybe 2nd in irrelevance is the score in the 4th quarter.
Because they play schools like Purdue. You don't give up 59 points to anybody and claim your defense is good.
And Alabama is 4th in the nation in scoring offense because they play schools like Tennessee with weak defenses.
Our offense is better than you think.I guarantee you our defense is better than you think
Bama played the best schedule in the country. #1 SOS. Try again.
I learned in another thread that our QB is prone to mistakes and tries to get down when he’s running with the ball.
Dang!!!! That is hilarious! That wins the internet. Let's call it a draw and meet in Nashville on the 30th and drink some beers (or boilermakers)!Here... this might help explain the ongoing joke:
We were driving to tie the game. Stalled out on the 50. Went for it on 4th and got stopped... by the #1 team in the county. And then they proceeded to score quickly. 14 point swing. Game was over at that point.
As many have noted, we are not a deep team. We had a mass exodus of players to the portal when we let the fraud of a coach go. Now I think we have a great coach. I'd say he still has a lot to prove but I am encouraged by what I saw at the 4 games I attended this year. I think it will be a good game. Long term, do you think Brohm stays?
One things for sure, this won’t be like the last time we played in this bowl. Purdue is much better than they were then and Tennessee is not as good as the Auburn team we played
no, that one is only about 12 minutes old... 😁
Nah man, most of us are just looking for good conversation. I would be glad to set up a tailgate with Purdue/UT fans on day game. We're pretty harmless unless you insult us.
In short, yes, I think Brohm stays. (Much to the chagrin of a vocal minority of "fans".)
He had every opportunity to "return home" not long after he got here, but raved about Purdue, and how good it is here. He doesn't seem to be burning to get to the NFL, nor to make a job change to make $1million more. He has VERY good support from the Board of Trustees, President and A.D. There have been massive improvements in facilities, and the fans are really supporting the program. No reason to leave with all that.
You guys definitely came on here like people who didn’t want to be insulted
see @Purdue85 … reading your posts has me more aware of things like manners lol
I would encourage you to watch that game. I don’t want to get kicked off the board so I am saying that very genuinely.
Tennessee was in it, as odd as they may sound given the final score.
We were hoping for a much higher-profile opponent ourselves. Maybe another program that’s won 75 percent of its games against Nick Saban.
We ran him out of the Big Ten with three straight losses. Ever heard of him?
We do recall a team apparently sponsored by Creamsicles. We licked them in the Astrodome. Purdue took a 21-0 lead, took a long nap, then rallied behind Mark Herrmann to win 27-22. Living in the past? I was living on the field for that one.
As for national profile, Purdue quarterbacks in the National Football League have more passing yards, more touchdown passes and more wins than any other school in NFL history. Len Dawson, Bob Griese, Mike Phipps, Gary Danielson, Mark Herrmann, Jim Everett, Scott Campbell, Kyle Orton, Drew Brees, for example. Three won Super Bowls, a feat matched only by Alabama.
We have heard that Tennessee, just after stealing the Oilers from Houston, once imported a Manning, too. Cooper, I believe.
If you’re good sometime, maybe our Gary Danielson will cover one of your games.
No I think it’s pretty good. I just know every offense we have faced other than Ohio state (because they got the ball out immediately) has had to double and triple karlaftis .. often keeping backs and tight ends home to keep him from wreaking havoc if you have a stroud to Wilson or smith-njigba connection I’d be worried … if you don’t you’ll probably do okay … 35-42ish
He’s been courted by both Tennessee and Louisville early in his time at Purdue. I’ve been told that he likes the AD, the President, and the BoT at Purdue. He’s in line for a strong extension after this season. He has his best staff since he’s been at Purdue.
I guess it depends on what you consider “long term”? 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?
Hell, Ed Orgeron is two years removed from a NC, yet he got canned? It’s insanity.
Dan Mullen is a good coach. He got canned. Why?
