Another classic game where the opponent did absolutely nothing special. They just played their game and waited for NU to screw up.
A couple of things stood out to me. First, the pick 6 was bad enough - especially since he nearly had one on the first drive. But the play before, we picked up a first down on a nice option play that was nullified by a holding call. Instead of 1st down in Purdue territory, we are facing 2nd and 15.
The asinine desperation, shovel flip INT is arguably Martinez’s worst decision ever - in a career full of bad decisions. Worse yet, it came right after a great punt and great stop to give NU great field position. Instead, the field was flipped by Purdue and they seized control of the game.
I’ll add the missed opportunity at the end of the half to the list of mistakes. A complete game-changer is missed.
And - what the hell was up with our pass coverage? How many completions came without a defender anywhere near the receiver? It was one uncontested catch after another.
It seems we are better off with just one week of poor coaching than 2….
