Game thread: NW'ern 34, Purdue 29 (final)

[BB73]

NW has close to 250 yards of offense, and there's 13:40 left in the 2nd quarter.

Purdue lost a TD when Chattams reached for the pylon, fumbled just before getting the ball there, and when the loose ball hit the pylon, it was a touchback, NW ball on the 20.

Wow, I thought that Purdue was supposed to win the Big Ten this year....

Yeah, good thing we don't play them. :tongue2:

Media members - repeat after me:

They have all 11 starters back on defense.

They don't play tOSU or scUM.

How come Joe Tiller's "high-powered" offenses can never seem to score any points...? I thought that that "offensive genius" was supposed to change the face of the Big Ten forever....

 

[BB73]

Basanez has over 300 yards of offense in the first half.

 

[BB73]

NW has a 4th and goal on the 1-foot line, down by a point with 2 minutes to go.

Nice call by Walker to go for it, and they score.

34-29 NW, 1:50 left.

NW has 610 yards of offense right now. Just got a pick, and the guy wisely went down.

NW can take 3 knees and it's over.

Purdue's offense is worthless without a decent QB... Orton was better than a lot people gave him credit for... Tiller has yet to prove that he can out coach the Big Ten on a regular basis... he may get some big wins every year but he will never take then to the top of the Big Ten.

 

[BB73]

The visit from NW is no gimme. I know we've got the revenge thing, but that offense is going to move the ball.

Purdue really sucks, I wouldn't be surprized to see Tiller resign. It's pretty embarassing for them...

All offenses are worthless without a decent QB.

Thats why NU is having a good year, a SR QB who knows how to run an offense that has been in place for years. The influx of freshman talent helps but it all starts with that QB who knows how to run the O..just ask PSU.

very true criticism of purdue, but NW is no slouch. If you haven't picked up on that by now, then you probably won't and will be ticked when they give us a good game in a few weeks.

Agreed, somewhat, they have an MSU caliber offense but an even worse defense.

Hopefully we won't be having anymore hangover games, the revenge factor and SR day are all factors that make me pretty confident we rip them a new ass regardless.

I think we win the game, I just think that they are a pretty solid team. I"m glad the game is not on the road this year.

I agree 100%.

I told people going into the PSU game that our win over Iowa was less impressive than PSU's win over NU.

The "formula" that mid level B10 teams need for their 1 good year in 4 or 5 is in place this year for NU.

Were still going to stomp that ass.
