[Todd Gack]

Includes a pick-6. 7:29 remains.

 

[OburgOrange]

We are going to have our hands full with this team

Next @CuseFootball opponent Central Michigan up 14-0 early at Purdue...though it appears the Boilermakers might be terrible.

 

[Entropic]

Just turned on the game. Outside of the score how does CMU look. I know its early.

This Purdue QB ain't great.

 

[Upstate]

Villanova would destroy Purdue.

Higgins has it right -- I'm not paying the closest attention, but based on listening to the announcers it seems Purdue can't pass.

Would love to see CMU roll them. Purdue is already backed up on this drive. It's on ESPNN, for those interested.

How good/bad is Purdue???
From personal experience - Are they in their Greg Robinson era?

Can we play Purdue instead of CMU next week?

 

[Alsacs]

Purdue is bad. CMU is not that good. The Boilers have sucked since Joe Tiller retired. Their QB play is terrible.

 

[Timonen]

Purdue is attrocious. Don't read anything into this. Noteworthy is cmu's punter/kicker knocking himself silly making a tackle. He's out of this game. Who knows on next week but didn't look great

Yeah, CMU scored on two big plays -- the pick-6 and a long TD pass where the Purdue defenders ran into each other. If they didn't score again I wouldn't be surprised.

For what it's worth, Syracuse and Purdue both played Top 15 FCS teams last week, and both won by 1 point.

(Edit: nevermind that isn't correct, they beat Western Michigan by 9).

I think Central Michigan is going to be handful next week - they're a solid club.

Well Syracuse's QB play isnt great either.

cmu played a not top 15 fcs team last week and was behind 16 nothing vs Chattanooga before rallying for a close win which included 4 picks by chattanooga's offense

And we needed the biggest gift from God in the history of SU football (a missed 35 yard dead-on field goal) to beat Villanova.

I definitely think we can win next Saturday, I'm just saying it will be a challenging game on the road and that CMU is definitely worthy of our respect.

(Chattanooga is currently ranked #15 in FCS)

 

[Upstate]

It's interesting. Watching this Nebraska game... Armstrong Jr. just threw an absolute duck for a pick six. Didn't see Nova's QB make a really poor pass the entire game. If anything, it's more a testament to a really underrated upperclassman FCS QB. Even Hackenberg threw a poor ball that got picked.

 

[Todd Gack]

CMU 14, Purdue 7 -- Purdue DB/punt returner just got tossed for targetting.

 

[Rocco]

I think CMU is pretty good. They spread the ball out really well.

21-7

 

[SWFLCUSE]

big screen play gets CMU inside the 5 and as I type this they punched it in.

 

[Todd Gack]

No harm to SU if they roll them. I'd still bet on Purdue, though, given how they pushed them around on their one TD drive.

 

[CanadianSU]

Purdue sucks

we also lost our starting QB to stupidity or else we roll by 2 tds vs nova

 

[rrlbees]

We'll beat CMU much easier than that Nova near disaster, but CMU is better than Nova.

nova is better than purdue though
