Purdue v. Penn State Game Thread

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Well folks....no two ways about it, an undermanned Purdue Boilermaker squad faces a monumental task today in Happy Valley taking on the unbeaten 12th-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions @ noon (Eastern time) on ESPN.

Let's see what kind of effort and fight these Boilers can mount.....adversity can show the true measure of a team at times like these when expectations have taken a hit.

Boiler Up, my friends.

Sorry to hear about all these injuries. I hate to see teams not be at full strength when they play each other. Good luck Boiler fans (but not too much good luck today ).

Is the injury bug ever going to stop this year?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Whoa....the line collapsed there....a little familiar.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Time to grow and handle adversity.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Tired of being someone’s homecoming

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ouch. That didn't take long.

Did they score already

At work cannot watch the game

At work cannot watch the game

Yeah, PSU got the ball at midfield and drove down in like 5 plays. Purdue had a three and out. Just got to fourth down again. It's going to be a LONG game.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Painful.

 

[RDUBoiler]

Cormier is the MVP of the game so far. Two good punts and he just saved a touchdown on the second punt return.

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Plummer has Got to make a play

 

[iBoilermaker219]

Not sure they're even going to learn anything from this game....

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Targeting?

 

[BoilerGal74]

I’ll consider a game a success if we get out of Happy Valley without any more injuries....Now targetting. Shisssssh! One more player lost.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Goodness gracious.......another one (Allen) gone.....at least not due to injury but rather targeting.

 

[indy35]

Targeting?

Bullshit call, the QB wasn't sliding, he tried to just sit down in the middle of the play. And of course they completely ignore the PSU holding on the play. .

Can yanni reclassify?

Well, BGal.....at least it's a beautiful day, here.

 

[RDUBoiler]

Targeting?

Couldn't hear well. Does that mean Allen was ejected?

 

[BoilerGal74]

Cornell?!!!? oh good land

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Couldn't hear well. Does that mean Allen was ejected?

yes

 

[Tommaker]

If we weren't the youngest team playing today in the nation when we started, we are now.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Illegal touching... That sounds like I feel like . How was that not pass interference!

 

[iBoilermaker219]

If/when this one gets out of hand, I'm just hoping we keep it clean. Teams in the past would have some dumb*** penalties making us look bad

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ugh.....that would have at least bought some time.....defense back out there again.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Illegal touching... That sounds like I feel like . How was that not pass interference!

I think that was the right call, BGal.....he stepped out on his own. Would that be offsetting penalties? Don't know as he's ineligible at that point.

And as I write.....the Boilers have stepped out of this game. Another score.

 

[anon_y5n942o85fk69]

Plummer just has to get used to throwing on the run this year. In practice he ought to have three lineman so he gets used to it.

 

[purduepat1969]

Don't understand our coaching decisions. Play our starting corner on special teams when we're already short players...

 

[IndySouthsider]

No mas.

 

[BoilerGal74]

I think that was the right call, BGal.....he stepped out on his own.

And as I write.....the Boilers have stepped out of this game. Another score.

Lol....I was talking about how the term sounded...Double
Entendre.... Realized it was a right call. Just trying to get through what looks to be and endless afternoon.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Hey....Hey.....a first down.

 

[iBoilermaker219]

We woulda been called for a late hit there..

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Leave it to me to be obtuse.

 

[BoilerGal74]

I am at the lake so have the game on screen through internet. Switched from my Ipad to my phone to throw up onto tv screen and now have a 7 minute delay...

 

[BoilerGal74]

Leave it to me to be obtuse.

Never Tex.....

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Well.....looks like incomplete......but we all know the Boilers' review history.

 

[BoilerGal74]

So....How much of an *ss is Franklin going to be today. How high will he run the score for Homecoming. My guess he never calls off the dogs or puts in subs?
