** 2024 Opponent Preview : Purdue (Game 5) **

[ZRod]

Beat Illinois, avoid Peacock. Ship sailed when we the D forgot about the flat. 

Pretty sure this game was scheduled to be on Peacock preseason.

I'm pretty impressed this thread hasn't become some of the same jokes for the broadcast partner that can be found when talking about the university in Columbia, SC.  Maybe we will save that for during the week.  Lots of pressure to win this game.  It's really a must win to me with the schedule being what it is.  First road test but Purdue has been mostly non-competitive with 3 INT and 3 fumbles in the last two games.  Maybe some opportunities to force some turnovers?

As a hyperactive, impatient person, they’ve always been my fav. Even though night games look cooler. 

LOL well, I would agree.  

Plus I do like a good Sat morning routine of coffee and huevos, mowing the yard, long shower, and the next thing you know it's an 11AM kickoff.  Perfect time for grilled cheese and a Modelo.... Or a cocktail on ice.  chuckleshuffle

No.  As of last week it was still TBD.

But every team does have to play on Peacock once per season.  So it was bound to happen sometime.

PU is horrible and not only is there a chance that their coach doesn't make it through the season but there is a chance they will lose 11 games in a row.

I am not 100% sure if they have quit on the season but it won't take much for that to happen.  A first quarter where NU takes the lead is probably all it will take.

This should absolutely happen. I’m just afraid that Purdue is one of those stupid teams that’ll come out and play possessed, clicking on all cylinders, beat us by 10 and then go on to lose the rest of their games.

We don't lose games by more than 7.

100% chance that their QB, who is horribly bad at QB'ing, will start the game 10/10 with a TD.

Ah you’re right.

Wasn’t it Purdue in 2019 when we played them and they were down to their third stringer and he ended up having a career day?

I think so???  And like a walkon RB???

I still think we should roll in this one. Nothing I've seen from Purdue suggests otherwise.

[BigRedBuster]

Have to admit, I have no clue what all that means.

 

[Red Five]

I take it blue is good and red is bad.

And I am reading it correctly that we have a 99% chance of winning?  That seems high not only for this game but for any game...
