Purdue 2020 Schedule / Win/Loss Prediction

[jindy]

and now we have GBI writers writing stories about we should be happy our non-conference games were canceled, and we should have a better record because of it. If this team in it's 4th year under Brohm with all the talent he has brought in can't beat teams like Memphis, Air Force and Boston College this year, then it never will, and no progress has really been made other than to bring purdue back to mediocrity. Those 3 teams despite their records are not really formidable teams. It's not like we're playing Auburn, or USC, or UNC, or ND or Miami . We're talking Memphis and USAF. and we should be happy we won't have to play them? We lost to both Nevada and some team from Michigan. Western? Eastern? Southern? northern? if purdue is afraid of losing to Memphis, they should apply to the MAC! or join University of Chicago.

I guess this forum LOVES mediocrity and 6-6 records..

Even the most casual fan knows we beat OSU on a very emotional day at Purdue. On any other day or field, OSU would have won. th t game was much like the first Saints game after katrina. The entire world could sense whoever the Saints played, they would have won. the same was with purdue on that special day.

So to say this team is great because we beat OSU on a very emotional day is not really accurately describing how good or bad our team is/was. We also beat Michigan 14-13 one year. anybody with a brain knows our team was nowhere close to the level of that team either.

I know some of you love this team, and you will scream your head off at anybody who tries to be realistic. Face the facts, while 6-6 is better than what hazell could produce, going 7-6, 6-7 and 4-8 is really nothing to brag about.

The article to which you're referring was an analysis of which Big Ten programs had very/extremely easy non-conference schedules(i.e. sad to see those games cancelled) versus those whose non-conference schedules were more difficult. Nobody claimed Memphis(for example) is Notre Dame or Auburn, but they're also not some low level MAC or FCS team either. They have been included in some of this year's Top 25 rankings and have 5 wins over ranked teams in the last 3 seasons, along with a win last year over an SEC team. And exactly where/who has referred to Purdue as "great"?

More cluelessness from the wole keyboard.

Ok and David Bell started fall camp 2nd on the depth chart, does that mean he’s the 4th or 6th best receiver on the team? Of course not. By the bucket game O’Connell was playing better than any QB on the roster save Sindelar. Had your 2nd best QB play the game just like IU did. IU’s 2nd stringer was just a lot better. Not trying to be controversial, just facts. The injury narrative is sad. What it really is is a depth narrative as I continue to point out.

Forgot to point out earlier that Bell was listed as 2nd string to start the season due primarily to having missed time and been limited in much of fall camp because of a lingering hamstring injury. Another fact you ignore.

Facts are not a strong suit for ol' wakeman.

It's all about trying to make Purdue's devastating season appear like it really wasn't that bad.

Maybe wole's cousin?

There you go again wolegib. Playing Memphis is not a big deal? They only went 12-2 last season and played PSU in a bowl game. AF? They only went 11-2 last season and played Washington State in a bowl game. @BC? They were just 6-7 but played in a bowl game.

The pundits who write about these things (nationally) have typically said that Purdue has one of the toughest non-conference slates in 2020. In the BIG, we have one of the top three toughest. If you can't acknowledge that, I don't know what to tell you.
