Better to be lucky than good

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Moral loss?

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Let’s enjoy this win, because it appears that it is going to be a long season

 

[Boiler8285]

Moral loss?

This is a very flawed team in a very flawed system. At least IU sucks.

 

[boilermaker75]

Wow, we can't make it easy.

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Good Heavens - he fumbled.....wth?

 

[BSIT]

[KentuckyBoiler]

We cannot even snap the ball now.

 

[BSIT]

Some losses feel like wins and some wins like tonight feel like losses

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

haha wow never felt so deflated after a win.

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Nothing easy

 

[purduepat1969]

This team is gonna get waxed next week if AOC is out...

 

[purduepat1969]

haha wow never felt so deflated after a win.

Its an embarrassing win...

 

[BSIT]

Brohm “we aren’t a very good football team”

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

As Brohm just said, we are not a good team right now. Stating the obvious

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

This team is gonna get waxed next week if AOC is out...

I think that happens even if AOC is back

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

I feel guilty about this win

 

[purdueplayer]

I think graham being out is hurting us more than we think.

 

[jmohlman]

I think graham being out is hurting us more than we think.

I think so too…we might get him back next week ⚡️

 

[TX4GB]

I think graham being out is hurting us more than we think.

And losing Marvin Grant to the portal.

 

[Ashaath2016]

Wow. Maybe people will be healthy next week. Can we have one game without a personal foul on third and long?

 

[imluvnmyskers]

You guys are horrible - FAU ??? You should have lost. In a couple weeks the Huskers are rolling in to punch you in the mouth and take your lunch money.

I feel guilty about this win

I don't think I've ever felt embarrassed by a Purdue win. Tonight made it a first.

After shitting the bed in epic fashion last week, I thought there was no way they could lose this game. That they would be so motivated to prove everyone wrong they'd come out on fire and destroy FAU.

This "win" tells me everything I need to know about the character of the team as well as the quality of the coaching staff in getting the team ready to play.

My guess is they felt they got shafted last week and instead of learning from their own mistakes that actually cost them the game, they focused on how bad they got screwed.

Dodged a bullet! This loss would have been hard to explain. FAU almost had 2 more scores and a win. The penalty and interception saved us. So who wants to blame the refs today? Probably FAU fans

My thoughts from last night:

The defense looked completely uninspired. They did make a handful of big plays, including a 3rd and long stop in the 1st half that kept them from going for it on 4th. Then a good stop that forced a field goal. But outside of those and the final play by Wahlberg, it was pretty vanilla.

Burton played decent minus the one stupid pass. Missed a couple easy throws too, one to Durham early that I remember. Before the Sheffield TD I said out loud that only 2 people should touch the ball, Jones and Mockabee. Shows what I know.

I heart Mockabee.

In the end, a win is a win, I guess. It sure would be nice to get Graham back. The linebackers are just weak. And the line produced almost no pressure all game long.
