Purdue vs PSU Game Thread

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

C'mon Gus. One of the best drives you've ever seen? It was solid, yes. Oh well....c'est la vie.

 

[purduepat1969]

Brohm just gave the game away not using the clock...

 

[Ashaath2016]

We can score in 57 sec

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Oconnell magic here for the win.

 

[bonefish1]

Need a Heisman drive right here

 

[gbl97]

True. The meltdown is normally last 2 minutes of the 2nd half not the 1st.

Like I said.

 

[indyogb]

It's strange that we can't even return kicks to the 20. :/

 

[BSIT]

This is why we need a strong running game. In the bank if we could run out the clock

 

[asby]

Well it was nice while it lasted...A very Purdue way to loose

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ok - still life - Jones with a smart play there.

 

[indyogb]

Gus Johnson is kind of a blowhard. I know many love him but I do not. In truth, I think most commentators are useless - I'd prefer they just pipe in the crowd noise on broadcasts.

We could have came close if we just ran it like twice in either of those two drives.

 

[FirstDownB]

Yep. Poor tackling and lack of a four minute offense sealed this one.

 

[purduepat1969]

You gotta get rid of the ball!!!

 

[rjmpu82]

PSU mentally better than Purdue

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ouch - that might just do it.....killer sack.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Gotta use the TO there, no?

 

[purdueplayer]

I think it was big time clock mismanagement. We didn’t even try to milk the clock in a quarter where we couldn’t move the ball at all.

 

[FirstDownB]

Absolutely poor clock management

 

[indyogb]

PSU mentally better than Purdue

They're more disciplined, for sure. I think we were more explosive but also way more mistake prone. If we played them 10 times, I think we'd split or come close (they're just a bit better than us, but it's a pretty even matchup). Honestly, I am pleasantly surprised. I expected some kind of catastrophe.

 

[purduepat1969]

We are so mentally weak. Downing doesn't get out of bounds.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Smart play from Downing - need a completion - then possibly have a shot at a Hail Mary?

 

[NashvilleBoiler]

Poor coaching and tackling

 

[Casey and his Brother]

Yuck. Panicky Purdue Pete

 

[purdueplayer]

Absolutely poor clock management

I think it’s worse than that. That was awful.

 

[FirstDownB]

I think it was big time clock mismanagement. We didn’t even try to milk the clock in a quarter where we couldn’t move the ball at all.

Didn’t execute four minute offense
Called an inexcusable timeout coming out of a timeout
Didn’t call timeout after completion on final drive

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

We are so mentally weak. Downing doesn't get out of bounds.

He had to stop the play, IMO.....take the TO.

 

[purduepat1969]

That'll do it...

 

[purduepat1969]

He had to stop the play, IMO.....take the TO.

He was 2 yards from the sideline

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Very disappointing ending

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Damn - somebody didn't tell me we were still in syndication episodes.

 

[Casey and his Brother]

Gus Johnson is kind of a blowhard. I know many love him but I do not. In truth, I think most commentators are useless - I'd prefer they just pipe in the crowd noise on broadcasts.

He sucks.

 

[indyogb]

Hehe... of course that's how it ends... with a whimper. It was a good game, I was entertained. I appreciate the players' efforts. I know it sucks to lose, especially when you're that close.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

What is it? 10 straight now to Penn State....too many mistakes to overcome.

 

[gbl97]

Would have been a huge win to start a special season. That's what Purdue does though I guess.

 

[FirstDownB]

We just can’t have nice things

 

[purdueplayer]

He was 2 yards from the sideline

His coach should have done a better job of using time when he could of so he wouldn’t leave that decision up to a player. I just don’t understand not using any time or trying to get them to use a TO. I don’t get it. We had two drives that took off like 2 minutes in game time.

Hey, I'm completely with you on that.

 

[BoilerMaker P]

If you didn’t know that’s how it would end once they punted, you aren’t a Purdue fan.

 

[Casey and his Brother]

The best part of being a Purdue fan is knowing what's going to happen before the game starts.
