Defensive juggernaut Purdue clamping down Braxton Miller in the 'Shoe

[Jeremy]

OP does have a point. Has Purdue recruited that much better atletes? What's the deal here?

Just like that Bucks up 14-13

And just like that, Purdue marches down the field and scores, Boilermakers up 20-14

14 is a hell of a lot smaller number than what OSU hung on our defense.

Well, sort of. They have a stud at D-Line who is projected to be drafted in the first round, and their corners are both pretty solid players as well.

And now, Purdue knocks the ball free while Miller tries to scramble, recovering the ball in Buckeye territory. The vaunted Boilermaker D has now forced 2 fumbles and 1 interception from Braxton Miller. Maybe Bo can send his coaches to the next Purdue coaching clinic--"forcing your players to execute"

Transitive property doesn't work, but no two ways about it, this is a little embarrassing.

Different game times, it's a hell of a lot easier to get psyched up for a prime time game at home against us then a noon start game against Purdue.

Before Miller's run, we were doing the same exact thing. After the run our defense lost its mojo.

You can't use the transitive property in football. Each and every game is different.

Really? then howcome each and every time we play a team with a running QB we get torched?

 

[funhusker]

Why is it, if Braxton has a rough outing Purdue is AWESOME and is much better than Nebraska!

and if Taylor has a rough go, he needs to be benched????

just curious.

Well, that's a bit of a separate issue :lol:

And miller seems to be done for at least this game... He didn't look good at all getting onto that medical cart... Hopefully he's ok

I mentioned last week that Indiana played them better then us and this was the argument as well,but two weeks in a row?

 

[Polarhusker]

So far after almost an entire half, Purdue leading 13-7 over Ohio State in Columbus. OSU only has 50 total yards rushing, and Braxton Miller has been held to 6 yards rushing on 5 carries and only 52 yards passing. Clearly, Purdue's defense decided to "execute" today, right Bo? Maybe Bo should be sending his assistants to Purdue University to learn how to stop a running qB?

I'm getting the feeling you care for Bo that much.

Exactly. It's no secret that our defense was absolutely horrid against the Buckeyes. I have to think that our defense 2 weeks ago was even worse than against UCLA... Which is bad.

If our coaches are feeding the same excuses to our players, each and every game is gonna be the same for us.
