Purdue @ Northwester Gameday Predictions & Thread:

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Cold and windy day up in the windy city and hopefully our Boilermakers live up to their burly reputation and can pound the Cats in to submission today with a four headed stable of RB's in Knox, Fuller, Jones, and Worship!

Prediction: Sindelar is able to find some success in the air with the short crossing routes against NU's freshman LB early on to drive Purdue to an early 14-10 lead but the NU Fighting Fiztgerald's button up their defense in the second half and control the game with Jackson in the backfield to a 30 - 17 victory.

I am headed to game and game time temp forecast is 32* with 12-15 mph winds. If you thought our receivers could not catch in clear,sunny,mild conditions, I worry about ability to snag many of "Goose Gossage" Sindelars bullets later today.

Northwestern is a team that finds ways to win games. Purdue is trying to get there.

26-20 NU.

 

[boiler2288]

Unscientific analysis of PU receiving roster based on where they were born/raised vs ability to catch in winter weather conditions;

Only Anthrop played HS football north of Mason/Dixon line.

I suppose Mahoungou does come from the northern hemisphere as well (Paris, FR)

I also realize it probably means nothing-just an observation....................

Have to agree with you on this one..........love tosee an upset but gut feeling says 23-14 NW

 

[FLAG HUNTER]

If Sindelar and receivers play with an attitude, then Purdue wins.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

21-17. Good guys.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

How many uniforms do the Boilers have now?

 

[boilerpete1]

I can’t stand Beth Mowins

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

BAAAaaad start...and the defense bails out the offense

I hadn't even gotten my snack, and it was three and out......

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Offensive line is struggling to hold on to their blocks

 

[Dennis H.]

Gonna have to throw on first down at some point

 

[SunnyFL24]

Awesome def.............

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Offense needs to sustain a drive here and put some points on the board. Need to play from ahead

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Gonna have to throw on first down at some point

If they can get 3-4 yards a pop on first down, keep running it on first down. Need to be better on 2nd and 3rd down

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Drop #1 goes to Phillips. Ball hit him in the hands.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

The "under" is looking good so far...

 

[Dennis H.]

Hope the tight ends get involved as this goes on

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Definitely nice to see #6 in there.

 

[boilerpete1]

How about some offense!!!!

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Come on offense!!! Let’s move the ball and put some points on the board!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

How about some offense!!!!

I'll settle for a first down right now.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Hey Hey!!!

 

[Dennis H.]

Be nice to see Burgess emerge as a playmaker

 

[BoilermakerD]

Why is he keeping sparks out there!?! You can't f-omg afford to waste mother f-ing drives!!

 

[boilerpete1]

Playing calling stunk

 

[Dennis H.]

Horrible sequence

 

[BoilermakerD]

F-ing garbage. You had a mother f-ing 2nd and 2 at the 42 and that's what happens... that's piss poor everything

 

[IndySouthsider]

Don’t like the Sparks package if he isn’t a threat to throw!

Don’t like going on 4th and 2 when you have zero offense and are relying on your defense. pin them deep. You going to wih with defense today.

 

[Rose Bowl Boilers]

That was just terrible play calling. Stop the Jared Sparks experiment, everyone knows he isn't passing. Killed the drive and flipped the field. Come on!!!

 

[BoilermakerD]

That was as dumb as almost anything I saw the passive Barry bonds or big dan the rent man do...

 

[BoilerBulldog]

I love Brohm but hate his calls on 4th down

 

[BoilermakerD]

That was just terrible play calling. Stop the Jared Sparks experiment, everyone knows he isn't passing. Killed the drive and flipped the field. Come on!!!

Awful

 

[Rose Bowl Boilers]

Have to have more than 3 rushers on 4th down.

 

[BBG]

Late to the the thread, but getting 4 wins considering we have virtually no talent on offense is nothing short of amazing.

 

[boilersinthehood]

Offensive play calling is HORRIBLE,

 

[BoilermakerD]

I hope they take that ball and stick it right down your bad idea throats

 

[BoilermakerD]

Making dumb as F moronic stupid ass decisions like that isn't amazing

 

[BBG]

Consider what he has to work with, yes it is.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Brohm shouldn’t have gone for that 4th down. Too aggressive for his own good at times is his downfall right now. Had Purdue punted, NU likely punts on their fourth down instead of going for it.
