** 2024 Opponent Preview : Purdue (Game 5) **

I'm pretty impressed this thread hasn't become some of the same jokes for the broadcast partner that can be found when talking about the university in Columbia, SC.  Maybe we will save that for during the week.  Lots of pressure to win this game.  It's really a must win to me with the schedule being what it is.  First road test but Purdue has been mostly non-competitive with 3 INT and 3 fumbles in the last two games.  Maybe some opportunities to force some turnovers?

LOL well, I would agree.  

Plus I do like a good Sat morning routine of coffee and huevos, mowing the yard, long shower, and the next thing you know it's an 11AM kickoff.  Perfect time for grilled cheese and a Modelo.... Or a cocktail on ice.  chuckleshuffle     

 
PU is horrible and not only is there a chance that their coach doesn't make it through the season but there is a chance they will lose 11 games in a row.

I am not 100% sure if they have quit on the season but it won't take much for that to happen.  A first quarter where NU takes the lead is probably all it will take.

This should absolutely happen. I’m just afraid that Purdue is one of those stupid teams that’ll come out and play possessed, clicking on all cylinders, beat us by 10 and then go on to lose the rest of their games.

100% chance that their QB, who is horribly bad at QB'ing, will start the game 10/10 with a TD.

I take it blue is good and red is bad.

And I am reading it correctly that we have a 99% chance of winning?  That seems high not only for this game but for any game...

OK, but let's take Offensive Success Rate.  Dylan is completing around 70% of his passes.  But, the success rate is only around 38%.  That doesn't make sense to me.
