Purdue Hanging with WI

[Huskerfan55]

At the end of 3 quarters Purdue is hanging with WI at WI.  They are only one score down.  How far have we fallen with this coaching staff?

I feel like the implication here is that Purdue is some terrible team and if they can do it why can't Nebraska...but that isn't really fair to Purdue.

 

Purdue hung with Michigan and Louisville late into the 4Q and went on the road to an SEC team and beat them by 30+ points, Mizzou is really bad this year but still - they beat them like a good team should beat a bad team and in a fashion we haven't really seen out of Purdue in a while.

They typically get a couple great years each decade and will continue to improve as long as Brohm stays. They're not always the garbage team that Nebraska fans have seen since you joined the conference. Everyone is going to have to be wary of them going forward.

 

...but to explain the game, UW turned the ball over three times and it killed us but if you look at the box score, outside of that, we completely dominated the game. 

 

College Football is a game played by immature young (barely) men...we like to break it down and make pretty predictions that try to account for everything but if a kid isn't feeling it one day for whatever reason everything can go haywire. That's how we get weekends like this one. It happens to everyone, even Alabama. The transitive property doesn't apply to teams so I wouldn't get hung up on it, if you do you'll end up with the idea that Iowa is going to beat you by 60 points because they beat ISU by 3, who beat OU by 7, who beat OSU by 15, who beat you by 42.
