What I see happening against NU

[bonefish1]

I think Purdue is tired of playing close games decided late in the 4th Qtr.
It's time for Chuck Sizzle to have another big game and with our combination of #2 receivers (Durham, Rice, Sheffield, Burks) all getting into the act, AOC has a 400+ yds/4 TD game.
The DL dominates the NU OL, completely shutting down the run, forcing NU to pass and generating 3 TOs.

Down 2 RB I think the game plan is pretty clear. Pass until you get hot, then keep passing.

C Sizzle has some injuries which are slowing him down and may not see him at full speed for awhile.... doesn't help that Broc is probably done. But you're right about the other receivers needing to step up.

 

[MilwaukeeBoilerFan]

Down several players, I see this still as a close early 4th Qtr game. Any T.O.'s can sway it closer than need be. Hope we get out of this game without addtl injuries and play it without stupid penalties.

I think if there are no more injuries or stupid penalties Purdue will win.I will be happy with even a one point win.

IMO Purdue wouldn't be playing in these close games if Brohm would open the playbook up besides when they actually need a score. How many times have we been in a close game and absolutely needed a score and it seems like we go right down the field and score almost at ease. I get that isn't going to happen all game but he's gotta open it up sooner and let AOC show what he can do.

Meh, Mockobee is perfectly capable of running the ball. Lewis will be there as backup.

I don't see this affecting Purdue's game all that much.

Also gives Tyrone Tracy a chance to carry the rock. Protect the ball!

Perhaps he's trying to save them for the B1G championship game, where he probably will really need them.

Gotta get there first.

 

[NVboiler]

Gotta get there first.

If we win the rest of our games, we're there.

This is one of those games that will give me an ulcer....Playing at home against a team we should beat....I just see a darn close game

 

[tenwest]

After 2 road wins can’t be cocky and back on their heels! Boiler Up.

that Baylor O was really good to watch last night

 

[IUhaterade]

Are we really letting Chuck Sizzle stick because Gus Johnson called him that? Was he ever called that before this year?

Lewis has rushed for 67 yards on 3.4 ypc

Purdoo in TROUBLE tonight!

We have our best RB playing

 

[BCfanatic2020]

Qualitatively yea … but I think it’s a real gamble having him carry more than ten times a game .. Doerue is our second best and best at taking the pounding … we will need king next week

Thompson due back for either Wisconsin or Iowa.

I was just repeating what Tom D was saying....Broc apparently will be questionable for awhile. Maybe he will be back for those games. Injured players seem to always produce cloudy information from PU coaching staff. Don't want to give your opponents too much info I guess.

Imo we’re a better team with Mock playing more

 

[BCfanatic2020]

Of course, until he’s limping after a play then we are ****ed. He’s our most talented Back. I said he’d get meaningful carries before the year. Less than 1% of this board signed on to that idea.

We were already ****ed when we decided 3 scholarship running backs was enough at the beginning of the season. When you continue to ignore that position in recruiting, you get what you get. And yes, I know James hit the portal.

We are very fortunate our star RB of the future literally walked in the Purdue office

I completely agree.

nah, he's still suffering from frostbite.

Not as bad as OT. Have you ever posted on KC?

Didn’t have the score right but was pretty close with AOC numbers and Jones.
I think I just saw Palmer catch another 50 yard pass.

Who pays the toll for the secondary just being completely awful...for development back there being non-existant?

Hagen seems to be doing his job...at least in part...but, English most certainly is not...both from a personnel, and, scheme standpoint.

Purdue has lost two games because of just awful mistakes back there, and, was in position to do the same a week ago for the same reason, and, almost again tonight.

It is ridiculous to have the issues that they do...more ridiculous that they are not being addressed or fixed.
