Purdue vs. Auburn: Game Thread

Auburn is closer to a 10 win team than a true 7-5 team. It’s not like they were getting beat by marginal teams and they certainly were not blown out in many of them.

That being said, Purdue’s defense is bad up front and without Neal it’s a glaring weakness.

agree, JDB.....losing Neal really hurts bigtime in general, but it's even more magnified against a team like Auburn.
 
To hell with it, let’s just go for it and do every crazy play the rest of the game. Try to keep it at two scores, maybe get lucky at some point.
 
I, like most, thought this might be a bit of a mismatch, but holy hell... It's still early and the defense could wake up, I guess. Yikes.

Also, how does a team, like Auburn, with this much talent sleepwalk to 7-5? Were they sandbagging for an easy bowl victory? :D

TV showed a stat early that 4 of Auburn's 5 losses were to teams that ended in the top 20, so there's a huge strength of schedule difference.
