So stupid... why even try that?
From an upperclassman, and a father who played 10+ yrs in the nfl, you gotta be more aware.
Decent game... I really liked how we fought.
It’s a shame that I’m gonna dwell on that play

I'll go glass half full since everyone else's is empty. Holt did some sort of masterpiece at halftime with our D.
thanks for depriving us as to see how we would have played out the last 2 min. on offense.
it's going to be a tough decision going forward . Do yo u go with Blough who doesn't make mistakes, but has almost zero vertical game and generates little offensively? or do you go with the gunslinger Sindelar who likes to go vertical , but is mistake prone. This game reminded me of Favre and the Packers. Sindelar has the talent, but also the heartbreaking mistakes.
Sorry I get emotional on game threads. I am cooled down now.
Gotta go Sindelar. We don't play a defense as good as NW for awhile.
No. I am sure you were perfectly ok when the defender was slamming Blough out of bounds. I actually agreed with the no call there. But it’s wasn’t any different than the one at the end.
IMO you have to go with Blough...mistakes destroy you in college football. Go with the game manager who gives you an added dimension on the ground.
Well, for one thing, Blough was very much in-bounds so it was the correct call. Much like the flag on Neal.
But the three INTs were him just throwing really bad passes under pressure. He'll be under pressure in other games as well.
I remember the play, but not what quarter and time it occurred. Let me know if you do and I'll look at the tape right now.
Apologies it's a bit dark...ESPN pause issue. You can see that Blough is in bounds.
And he pile drives him out of bounds make a video

He finishes a completely legal tackle. I see that you're just one of those "blame the refs guys" so I'll just move on.
Well since you're here taking the refs side. Do you feel that catch was offensive interference? Do you feel that last catch/fumble should've at least been reviewed? Let me know what your ref complaints are? Those were potential impact/game changing plays. They went your way!
I could see instances where they may not throw the flag, but it's hard to fault them on that one. And I'm not one to take the position that you don't call it near the end of the game. It's an unfortunate mental mistake for Lorenzo Neal....hopefully he learns from it and can turn it into a positive going forward.....but, definitely disappointing from an upperclassman, especially.
I think plenty of us had more issues with some of the other calls/non-calls during the game, but credit NW.....they made enough plays, and Purdue made too many mistakes. You can't expect to win many (if any) games with a 3-turnover deficit.
A tough loss for sure, but if you want to look on the bright side....the Boilers made a lot of mistakes.....could have folded up shop.....but hung in there with a good squad and nearly overcame a less-than-best game. Also, we saw the coming out of Rondale Moore. It's a long season; they have to put this one behind them. A lost opportunity, though.
TGIF!
What I saw was Neal trying to strip the ball and Larkin getting away with an academy award winning flop. An official decided to become part of the game.
