Purdue Gameday...

[ElwoodJBlues]

OL was actually pretty good. Mang doesn’t look good out there. Need more out of LQA on the ground to keep some mileage off Shrader.

 

[Orangezoo]

So aside from the WR follies...I think Rocky has Harrell in the palm of his hands. He's adjusted on the fly throughout.

 

[smartman]

Trying to stretch the defense. They are taking shots because they are crowding the LOS.

getting some openings too.

 

[orangefog]

Just catch the ball in the second half. The D will make some adjustments. Cruise to 3-0.

 

[smartman]

He's never going to stop. It's like asking my dad to stop smoking Marb Reds.

Shrader of 2021. In tough games, he's just going to need to play this way when all else fails.

 

[qdawgg]

Uncanny how bad we've been, just insane

But a guy not even recruited by his state college is going to be a stud….

 

[jgeorge322]

I suspect he would have missed that wide by 30 yards.

Maybe. But he may have made it too. That 44 yarder he just missed wouldve been good from 60.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Pretty good first half. Our defense was really opportunistic with all the turnovers.
Shrader had a pretty good half, but man, the WRs must have dropped 5 passes among them, and a couple sure TDs. We should be up more than 21-7 at the half. But so long as we don't let them score on the opening drive, the game will remain in hand. I worry about Shrader feeling like he has to do it all himself, after so many dropped balls.

 

[cuse309]

It sucks that the one skillet our wide receivers lack, is their ability to CATCH THE DAMN BALL!!!

 

[RMH44]

He hasn't been back in.

He was shaken up on that drop. Not sure what happened but he was injured and asked out of the game.

 

[Scooch]

Need to keep them from scoring to start the half. Then score. Then win.

 

[HoustonCuse]

I’m not an expert but I feel like our WRs should be better at catching things. At this rate, I can understand GS running so much, he’s got to have zero confidence in these clowns. They’ve dropped absolutely everything.

 

[two3zone]

Shrader is really good.

Our D is really good.

Our WRs can’t catch.

Our kickers can’t kick.

Refs stink.

Wilson got picked on all half. Something to watch going forward.

 

[bigmike]

Maybe we can connect on a few mid range passes. How about some Villari?

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

It was the first half of a big college game for Brown and Hatcher specifically. Pump the brakes. Jesus.

How about Alford stepping up with 4 catches for 70 yards?! Jesus.

 

[JKinPhilly]

He was shaken up on that drop. Not sure what happened but he was injured and asked out of the game.

He was in on the pass to alford where like 4 guys had to drag him down

 

[Scooch]

It’s mind blowing how it’s been YEARS with our WR corps largely being bad at catching.

 

[KellySyracuse]

two more TDs please and solid defense. Take Purdue to the mat

 

[Eric15]

Good half. Coulda been better.

I keep reminding myself that Purdue got zero points out of two drives inside the 10 yard line. So the score easily could be 21-14 or 21-21.

It's kind of a strange game where the score could easily be better or worse.

Good news.

I'm ready to see Long get a shot. He did have the catch of the pre season.

 

[bigmike]

Alford has to lead his room here - it’s time. Put this thing out of reach.

Precisely. 4 turnovers is an incredible gift. They’re gonna come for us in the second half and they have moved the ball well at times.

 

[baggerbob]

Perry?

Can you imagine if he beats up a Purdue defensive lineman blocking. What would he do if you put him in at DE?

 

[qdawgg]

I guess it’s an improvement. In the past the WR’s couldn’t get open. Now they get open but just can’t catch. I don’t know if that part is important or not.
