Not sure what to say. This is the most talented team since at least 05 and it's looking like there won't even be a division title.

I feel like this should hurt worse but the team, mainly offense, has underperformed almost all year(save for VT, Maryland, and Rutgers). It almost feels expected. I held out hope that they were just saving it for this game but I guess not.

Beating scUM would heal a lot of wounds.

Just disappointed with all the called QB runs... I'm so sick and tired of motioning someone out of the backfield and expecting the other team to be shocked we are running a QB draw out of a 5 wide formation.

12 carries for zeke is just horrendous...2 touches for Braxton? If you're going to run the QB then jesus Christmas put Braxton in

He absolutely got a piece of the ball. Take off the scarlet goggles.



When you point out two officials calls - while saying nothing about what you just said there - it strangely looks like you're blaming the refs.

Nope, I've been bitching about the line play all game. And the baffling play calling. But these posts scroll past so quickly you probably didn't see it.

Why are you guys saying you aren't mad? I'm good with losing when the other team outplays us and MSU did but I can't remember a worse day of coaching. We didn't even turn the fucking ball over. Coaches didn't give us a chance to win.

This is the only reason I'm pissed. Again, we lost to a team that's completely depleted and without their fucking starting QB. Basically the same offense that dropped 49 and over 500 yards of offense AT Sparty last year couldn't even muster 20 fucking points against probably the worst Spartan defense Mark Dantonio's ever had. Tonight is completely on the coaches. Fucking Purdue put up more points on this Spartan defense.

This team, in its current form, will get trucked next week. We will now see what Urban is made of this week, because they need significant improvement in every area.

I really don't think the defense is that bad. They've stopped us from having 2 or 3 losses with this terrible offense. Something needs to change in playcalling, but other than that the other units have held their own.

This was more than just Beck. Our lines did not win enough battles, and when there was a play to be made the execution was too often lacking.

Sparty was the better team today. We've enjoyed 50 wins in the last 54 games and won the first playoff last season. Get over it. No one wins every game.

Taking the ball out of Elliott's hands, and still running the ball with JT is absolutely on Beck. I don't know the exact numbers, but I know Barrett carried the ball at least 24 times. Getting twice the runs that Zeke got is beyond criminal.

Just hope Penn State pulls the upset off next week and we destroy scUM and Iowa is about our only chance.

And maybe all the other 1-loss contending teams will be abducted by space aliens, and we can win the championship by default.

I am never inspired by complex formulas that depend on factors beyond my chosen team's performance on the field.
If you have to rely on circumstances beyond your control, rather than your own commitment to excellence, then any trophy is a hollow piece of tin.
