Purdue vs. Boston College: Gameday Thread & Predictions

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Boston College comes to Ross Ade for the first meeting between the two schools. Purdue returns the favor in a few years (a game I’ll likely be attending).

Boston College 31
Purdue 23

 

[NashvilleBoiler]

Purdue - 27
BC - 24

 

[Summy1]

I think Purdue finds a way to win this game. They want the W bad.

Purdue 37
BC 31

 

[Gemini95]

BC is a fraud. Purdue 41-30.

 

[IUHDog]

PU 44
BC 20

 

[IndySouthsider]

Purdue needs a win!!! Don’t care how it gets done, just needs to get accomplished.

Side Note: Anybody here in Ross-Ade in 1992 when Purdue crushed Cal?

I assume I was but really have no memory of it.

 

[boilerman101]

The ESPN Gameday crew, except Lee Corso, thinks Purdue finally gets into the win column today.
Defense takes a holiday, again: BC 35, Purdue 42.
Can I get a, "Boiler Up!".

 

[BoilerFYF]

Purdue can focus on Dillon, gets hurt with some passes but wins 31-21

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Herbie and "Otter" take the Boilers.....

Corso with a not-so-fast and Desmond Howard take the Eagles.

I think the Boilers finally get over the hump in a close one....should be a good game.

Boiler Up, my friends.

 

[anon_y5n942o85fk69]

How is the crowd, attendance?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

More traditional unis.....I like em.

 

[BoilerFYF]

This type of team has always been a good match up for Purdue defensively..

 

[IndySouthsider]

Why the heck do they have the BC Target field goal at the 50??

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

wow.....a flag already.....who'da thunk?

 

[IndySouthsider]

Why???

Throw it away!!!! Jesus get your head in the game!

 

[BoilerFYF]

Herdman! Back in the action!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Why???

Throw it away!!!! Jesus get your head in the game!

yeah....good initial protection....gotta throw it away to avoid the sack.

Makes up for it, though now with a STRIKE!

 

[IndySouthsider]

Defenses not falling for these trick plays this year

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Blough has already taken two big hits....hope that doesn't continue.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Moore runs routes like a Senior. Wonder if he even stays 4 years.

Blough has already taken two big hits....hope that doesn't continue.

To be fair both were initially blocked well. One the QB held on too long the other was a long drawn out play with the fakes.

 

[BoilerFYF]

Zico! Way to get up in it

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Finish this drive off, Boilers....been a nice march down the field.

 

[IndySouthsider]

This is where we need our TE to step up.

That’s dangerous Knox. Be careful.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Zico! Way to get up in it

wish they could teach these guys not to reach for extra yards esp. when 3 yds away from goal.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Really really liked that. Like a lot!

 

[PaBoiler78]

This is where we need our TE to step up.

That’s dangerous Knox. Be careful.

he has powerful legs for sure.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Good start and way to punch it home, Boilers.

 

[IndySouthsider]

he has powerful legs for sure.

Powering that in there was huge. Our line seems to be holding up pretty well. Could be a good omen.

 

[BoilerFYF]

David Blough is probably no more or less talented than Joey Elliott, but like Elliott in his senior year, he’s locked into a rhythm. This team has fought back and appears to have gained something from the three tough to swallow losses. BOILER UP

 

[IndySouthsider]

You could see that was a big return coming. Evans is getting no hang time and there isn’t many black jerseys close when he catches.

Blough was considerably higher recruit than Trace McSorley

 

[BoilerFYF]

This type of team has always been a good matchup for Purdue as long as I’ve watched Purdue .. their OL does NOT look like Wisconsin’s

 

[IndySouthsider]

He grabbed the defenders head hands to the face.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Nice to see the laundry piling up for the other guys for a change.

 

[IndySouthsider]

This BC coach is pissing me off. Every call they have gotten was 100% correct

 

[BoilerFYF]

We can’t get to the QB at all... sigh. You’re not gonna get a better chance at a stop than 3rd and 14 from the 15. Karlaftis and Hunter can’t get here fast enough

 

[ahhculdee]

No pass rush or coverage.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Rats.

 

[IndySouthsider]

WIDE THE HECK OPEN

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Mosley is just so bad in coverage in the middle of the field.
