Let’s Boiler Up!!

The Boilermakers open a season with a conference opponent for the first time since 1996. Dave Fleming and Kirk Herbstreit on the call.

Boiler up, my friends.

The Baker Mayfield Heisman House commercial before the game...hilarious

 

[FirstDownB]

And a grateful sports nation turns the dial from the dreadful Minnesota game.

You kiddin....I'm watchin the gohfers here, see....oooh.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

NU Cb needs to put his jock strap back on

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

So close....get it next time.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Terrible throw.

 

[FirstDownB]

bad throw but Zico got absolutely mugged before the ball got there

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

That was a generous spot.

 

[BBG]

Booze induced that was a bullshit non call for a TD.

 

[DannyGranger]

Oh boy.

That defense got bossed that drive. Looks like a team only returning 2 starters.

Need am explosive offense, come-on!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Killer turnover and conversion drive.....alright Boilers, need a mistake-free drive.

 

[mathboy]

Don't understand why the refs allowed the mugging of our receiver when the ball was intercepted. Our guy couldn't make a jump to catch because the NU guy was holding him down. WTF?

 

[ahhculdee]

Bad. Defense too inexperinced, 6-6 team is the goal this year.

 

[Avg_boiler]

Good defense

 

[purduepat1969]

Two pretty bad calls. Should have been pass interference. And the spot was horrible on NU run play on 3rd down.

I’ll take Overreaction for $600 Alex.

 

[indy35]

Absolutely terrible decision by Sindelar but the receiver got tackled.

 

[IndySouthsider]

How does a take down get missed?

 

[FirstDownB]

Time to fair catch those kickoffs. Moore is going to get split in two.

 

[DannyGranger]

Ok I'm ready for David B

Lol, I'm such a bad fan

 

[BoilerBulldog]

So far I’m not impressed by the O line. Nobody blocked anybody on that screen.

 

[BBG]

Ok I'm ready for David B

Lol, I'm such a bad fan

That last series was just ubforrunaun play calling. But sindelar seems off at the moment.

 

[BBG]

Youth of our defense is showing

 

[ahhculdee]

It's alreeady over. Northwestern has set their pace.

 

[New40ish]

Put George Karlaftis in.........oh that’s next year.......

 

[ahhculdee]

Conor Thorson too good. It's over 14-0
No offense.

 

[70boiler]

Oh my...

 

[purduepat1969]

This defense is...not good.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Ran the same double pull trap for a TD...young LB’s making bad reads, especially on Larkin’s run where a LB filled poorly.

 

[BBG]

This defense is...not good.

It's young... Big. Difference

 

[FirstDownB]

Paging Bentley, McCollum, Robinson, Okonye...

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ouch.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

It's alreeady over. Northwestern has set their pace.

Then go to bed.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

I wouldn’t mind seeing Blough this series.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

This defense is...not good.

This offense is....likely the best outside of OSU in the conference. Without Thorson, Purdue would be able to load the box. With him in, he makes he right calls in the RPO. There is a reason he is a fringe first round pick next season.

 

[purduepat1969]

It's young... Big. Difference

Yes, young. But they don't look good at all.

 

[DannyGranger]

This defense is...not good.

They offer no resistance at all? The front 7 looks real light weight

No offense, but I saw a ton of missed tackles and open runs that have nothing to do with Thorson.
