What is our running game? And what chance does it have against Wisc and O State?

Now we're haggling over spots.

Yeah, they do, but you have to wonder what we practice.

At the risk of sounding meltdowny......King Friday rarely does things that give us control of the game. Just a laid back king who only does just enough to hang around.

At least no one is bored any more.

But they didn't beat anyone else Yeah, I wonder why we have so much trouble with them? It's like we turn into the Dumb and Dumber Show.

Fake punts are our biggest threat.

Blough is a great QB .....no wonder they beat us last year.

It looked like he was throwing the ball away there. Everyone was covered. No, the RB was open but he never even thinks about that.

Riley's MO is to match the intensity of the opponent. If we play the Girl Scouts, he's selling cookies.

Tommy should've thrown an outlet pass there instead of flinging a long one to nobody. That kind of play loses the big games.

Has a good arm and mobility. Cunningham remarked about how active his arm is. Then again, I had a pretty active arm in junior high... You're like a running stand up routine.

You know who has a great sub? Cousins in Wisconsin. Get the Brat sub.

I didn't know Alonzo would play.

I think Blough is a pro quarterback....he's got the right skills.

This Purdue offense is pretty good....not sure why people think they're such a pushover and automatic win.

Oh, that long pass they got....you can't stop that....that was a perfect route and pass.

I'm worried that there haven't been nearly enough short passes to Morgan, Newby, and Pierson-El. Now nearly enough!

So did Illinois But we're not playing Illinois today. We're playing Purdue....and they totally whooped our ass last year. We'd better not take them lightly....we better throw the entire arsenal of short passes at them.JSand it is this year not last year. This team isn't taking Purdue lighty. The fans can take this game however they like. OK......create bad juju at your own peril........we'll know who to blame.

Morgan, Pierson-El, Reilly, Newby catch 50+ short passes from Armstrong and run like hell. Armstrong is hailed as the short-passing champion of the world. In the Sunday interview with Jim Rome ,Tommy says, "It was easy....I just flipped it to them and they did the rest. I didn't even get touched the entire game. I wish I had known about that shovel pass before my senior season. And the little outlet pass to the running back, it was like a walk in the park. "

Purdue DID beat us last year.

Excitement on these boards is usually a bad thing.

Kris Brown was my favorite Husker kicker. Let's keep his stuff unless he starts beating up women.

I think most of the Big Ten teams are uninteresting compared to the Big 12. Purdue is as interesting as any of them, but you have to admit most of us know virtually nothing about most of the Big Ten teams, even after all these years. It's not like we look forward to anything but the big ones.
