Purdue at Illinois: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[Boiler8285]

40pt second half from the Boilers - and it still wasn't enough. Helluva game, though - and fight.

Defense sucks.

Seeing Browne shine, makes the case that the staff made the wrong choice sticking with Card……..what other bad personal choices are they making?

Probably some true freshman that could be difference makers on this defense. Koy Beasley?

A lot of indications that the kid behind him is actually our future. Now that teams have tape on Browne, we’ll see how he looks if he in-fact continues to play…

Defense couldn't stop them - I don't mind them going for it.....wish they could have executed it better.

He knows his defense sucks. Walters is a defense guru after all.

On the road against a ranked team? Yeah, go for the win.

Correct season over , on road go for it

Alisandro being on the team.

not to argue w/ anyone but Browne is operating w/ a better play caller

Same play caller last week that only scored 6 with Card so there's that...

Wisky is a way better team than Ill, kicked RU's ass today

 

[Bippus33]

squandered alot in the 1st half

Squandered. Reminds me a lot of the 2023 season.......

It's certainly time to play players who have not had a shot to play.......I saw several new faces and numbers today.....

How many people would be good with Simmons as interim ? I would

Probably not but there was a pulse there today. First time this year vs a FBS team we didn’t roll over and give up. Sad that that’s the bar nowadays.

Walters and the D gave this team less than nothing today and squandered a win. At least the O coach helped make it obvious where the fault lies!

In the presser Walters said he called the offense.

On the bright side - no "official" turnovers (the teams traded possessions with losing kickoffs) and only 38 penalty yards - that's at least improvement in those areas. Browne's 100+ yds rushing is first for Purdue QB since Rob Henry in 2010.

if only we had not muffed that kickoff in the first half.........................or any of a dozen other self inflicted wounds

 

[mdclaxton]

Walters wouldn't commit to Browne starting going forward if Card is healthy in the post game presser. I feel like he earned the job the rest of the season without a doubt. Card won't be here next year anyway so what good does it do to start him? Build for the future at this point.
