After watching CMU steamroll Purdue, Shafer was spotted flipping cars in his neighborhood and punting kittens. He wants Chippewa blood next weekend.
Unfortunately we heard the same thing about the team "being ready" for Nova in week 1. At this point I need to see it on the field. Purdue is not a good team but CMU is no pushover, were going to need to be light years better then we were against Nova to win.

Yep their coach is GROB. Takes over a 6-6 team that got to a bowl and got trounced and immediately wins 1 game. I can't believe that 2015 kid from Illinois picked them over us. He might be crying right now. Then again he may start for Purdue next yearThat game reminded me of Akron-Syracuse 2008 home opener at the Dome. Akron 42 Syracuse 28 and he G-Rob era was going to be over. Purdue was beyond bad. Central Michigan could beat us if we don't play well.
Joe Fields vs Kyle Orton. Quite the QB battle there.Purdue rolled us 51-0 with our Next Great SU QB a dozen or so years ago...my how times have changed
upperdeck said:cmu-purdue was an even game that somehow turned into a rout. stats were dead even but for TOvers. we cant lose that battle either.
I watched most of this game... Purdue is a bad team. CMU will be tough at home... this won't bee a walk over for SU.This Purdue QB ain't great.
We should not lose to CMU... and based on other results from the first 2 weeks we have more than a fighting chance against Maryland, Wake Forest, Boston College, and NC State. None of those teams are great from what I've seen of them the first 2 weeks.we lose this game and we are staring at a 2 win season.
