What did we learn? Purdue edition

[Red Five]

I learned that it looks like we have a FG kicker for the next 3.5 years.

[DevoHusker]

I learned that we need to pay Tony White whatever he wants to keep him here.

if things are going to well...we will create some adversity.

So does Adidas coat their footballs in Crisco before sending them out?

 

Seriously, I am starting to wonder about the footballs that we use.  Like are Adidas balls slicker than Wilsons or Nikes?  It doesn't matter who is coaching or who the player is, we fumble non-stop.

We fumble too much, but since both QBs do it, you stick with the younger one that wins games.

[ZRod]

I learned that we can make a blowout become an ugly win, which is way better than completely blowing leads and 1 score losses.

Kick off fumble was Purdue's Nike ball.

I remembered how much that I love 87 yard drives that take 9 minutes off the clock.  We should do those more often.

I learned that being 5-3 feels much better than anythng we've seen in the previous 5 years.

Yeah, that (and Bullock's punt drop) shoots a hole in my theory.  But the kickoff we had a backup LB running with the ball, so weird things are the norm in that case.

I learned that Sims has not in fact changed from the player we saw the first two games, and that's too bad. I had hoped (for his sake) he might come out and play well the next time he was given an opportunity.

I also learned that this program is truly beginning to build confidence, and that the confidence is translating to the field. Gotta keep it going, but it's really encouraging.

Same thought crossed my mind though, until I saw the big swoosh on the replay and called myself a dummy.

We are going to play an absolute dumpster fire team in Michigan State to become bowl eligible. Who saw this coming after the 0-2 start?

Phalen Sanford should go as Matt O'Hanlon for Halloween.

That's a good analogy.

Ron Snodgrass's reffing crew has to be the most incompetent crew in not only the B1G, but also all of P5.  They have been doing this same crap for years.
