Purdue Football Day on BTN....
- Thread starter BoilerGal74
- Start date
Thanks for the tip. I want to record some of these classic games.
Was at the game and I believe that’s the point where Allen was begging and pleading for someone to tackle Markell...literally begging his players.
. . . they're still trying to get him on the ground . . .
Brohm was like “we’ll keep running Markell off left tackle until you show us you can stop it.” Sure seemed like they couldn’t. Allen was going apoplectic on the sidelines yelling at his players.
Allen likely knew that that single game could be a determining factor of the trajectory for both programs. Had IU won that game, it would have made a big statement that Allen was truly pushing his program in the right direction and Brohm had, at best, pushed the program a little bit forward....
Fast forward to after the bowl game, and Brohm has leaped the expectations of where the program should be at with the best recruiting class (in terms of actual substance) since about 2000 (Stu's class).
True that. When we scored to go up 31-10 Allen had to know his goose was cooked. I think Allen will have a career like Danny Hope, but somewhat less successful with few if any bowl games and no real signature wins (Hope beat OSU twice, beat Michigan and won a bowl game).
It’s better than losing to a directional Michigan school in a dome.
Pizza! Pizza!
