O'Connell looked like a machine. The type of QB Pelini would've added to his graveyard list.

Pelini would have tombstones him. I'm liking Busch, though

That is an idiotic comment.  No depth & your best player is hurt.  Why do you think thus team is going to change over night.  You must have been band in HS

Ummmm, they gave up 43 points.  You do understand that isn’t very good at all.    You also have to understand the Purdue receivers are not very fast yet NU allowed underneath stuff ALL NIGHT LONG.   That’s actually not a good thing in football.   
 

The HS band comment is the best you could come up with.   That’s worse than the defense tonight.

Just because Mickey is better than Frost doesn’t make him the long-term answer. 

This is a great comment, because these players would have benefited just from a pineapple taking over

At this point I don’t know if there is an answer for our defense. We’re not talented enough to cover and get pressure with just the front four.  But when we do bring extra pressure we’re not fast enough to get to the QB before they get rid of it. 
 

I think we need to slow down on offense a bunch. Time to drastically cut the number of plays the defense is on the field for.

Whipple just keeps throwing the ball no matter where we are in the game.  I serious think that running that zone read at least once every quarter keeps defenses honest.  Casey only needs to run the ball one or two times and the defense will stay honest.  Hell, I dont know if the play is called more and CAsey just always hands it off, but its there.

 

 

You forgot the main thing to run.  It's called blocking.  They are not going to run our qb 20 times when is hurt

I loved that grave yard list.  Since him, we have created Heisman lists....

Their slowest receiver had 200 yards on newsome  

Ya but the defensive game plan was good according to some

[Cornbred]

Do you notice lately that winning coaches don't credit the other team for playing a great game?

Ooph.... When Purdue coach is disappointed after beating Nebraska 

 Brohm wins the biggest dbag award for that BS. Nebraska wins that game if we don’t have tomato cans for Oline. Sorry bro you ain’t ohio state or michigan

[Born N Bled Red]

Wish we were the ones to do it..  But Purdue should DESTROY Iowa.

Waterboy.  You have very little football knowledge. I laugh at some of your posts. Sorry if you don't like.  Pull up your big boy pants.

Mickey was 1-2 against the spread coming in.  Now improves to 2-2.  Look for the silver linings.  Mickey made people money today.

Can’t wait to have a real coaching staff who can recruit, retain, and develop talent. 

Who says that Mickey shouldn't have the chance?

Mickey would need to show a lot better results to get that chance.

Time of Possession

Purdue: 42:42

Nebraska: 17:18

 

Total offensive plays

Purdue: 101

Nebraska: 52

 

The fact that we only lost by six is kind of crazy. Add in consideration of all our injured coming in and leaving during the game… kind of impressive on our boys. I mean Phelan Sanford was playing meaningful time on defense for most of the game. Would not have expected that at all to start the year. Hope it’s only better from here, this bye week is needed badly.
