Rutgers Update

[Zeke2005]

Why haven’t we moved past this yet?

We have. Rutgers gal hasn't.

 

[cruelhalo]

They’re explanations not excuses.

Sounds like excuses to me.

 

[redwine65]

Injuries and an inability to catch the ball got us smoked today.

We are down a DE, 2 LBers, our starting CB, and our starting LG. Too much for us to overcome, and with so many new kids in the lineup, mistakes were made.

Furthermore, we had 6-8 drops, just downright inexcusable. We have to get back on the practice field and make things right.

We look to right the ship next Saturday vs UCLA.

good to know, I was wondering if Wisconsin turned into the 70's steelers in a week..due to the score

Nope, they just caught us at our weakest point, after a grueling game with Nebraska, we should have won.

Reminder:

Rutgers is dogshit.

And had we not dropped a TD pass and hit the upright, on a field goal attempt, we would have beaten y’all. Final score was 14-7 in a game that could have gone either way.

If we wouldn’t have been tackled we would have made a touchdown … every time.

Tell me more.

Iowa seemed to have a big score last week too. I guess they only lost to probably the B1G and big 12 future champ

 

[BoilerN]

Rutgers will not win another game this year.

Neither will PU...which I predicted would go 1-11. Remember @BoilerN

I guess we will see if Purdue wins. Was a missed fumble call or missed extra point away this past weekend.

I DO like PU to cover 28 points on Friday night.

More excuses! We used those same excuses the last seven years on one score loses.

Idk what to expect more that we have a QB and not a boring and predictable defense. There are wins out there, idk if Friday is it, regardless of how often Purdue upsets top 5 teams.

Spoilermakers!

Could also see them losing by 50 and the game being over 5 minutes in

Hahaha!

Yeah, I wonder if they maybe shot their wad in that "amazing" game vs "super tough" Illinois.

I don't think they have totally quit on the season BUT getting smacked by 50 might do it.

Ya. My worry is people are expecting it now… the history is there, but the money is going on Purdue. Hate that.

-28.5 now, enticing!

I have money on that. Why wouldn’t you? Though consistently beating top 5 ranked teams is fun.

define consistently please

 

[BoilerN]

define consistently please

I think they have something like the 3rd most wins vs top 5 ranked teams.

Edit: a couple quick googles. https://www.espn.com/college-footba.../who-most-wins-vs-no-1-college-football-teams

Also has 10 wins vs top 5 teams while being unranked.

 

[leodisflowers]

Oregon might put 70 on Purdue and even with improved QB play that looks like a 70-28 game. Purdue's D is god awful.

The link you provided was wins against #1 team which stated this......

Purdue, 7

Most recent: Michigan (1976)

Then there is the list of top 5 victories from their rivals site

1947 Purdue 14 #5 Illinois 7 (Home) --- Holcomb
1950 Purdue 28 #1 Notre Dame 14 (Road) --- Holcomb
1953 Purdue 6 #2 MSU 0 (Home) --- Holcomb
1957 Purdue 20 #1 MSU 13 (Road) --- Mollenkopf
1958 Purdue 14 #5 MSU 6 (Home) --- Mollenkopf
1960 Purdue 23 #1 Minnesota 14 (Road) --- Mollenkopf
1960 Purdue 24 #3 OSU 21 (Home) --- Mollenkopf
1961 Purdue 9 #5 Iowa 0 (Home) --- Mollenkopf
1964 Purdue 21 #5 Michigan 20 (Road) --- Mollenkopf
1970 Purdue 26 #3 Stanford 14 (Road) --- DeMoss
1974 Purdue 31 #2 Notre Dame 20 (Road) --- Agase
1976 Purdue 16 #1 Michigan 14 (Home) --- Agase
1984 Purdue 28 #2 OSU 23 (Home) --- Burtnett
1998 Purdue 37 #4 Kansas State 34 (Alamo Bowl) --- Tiller
2018 Purdue 49 #3/#2 OSU 20 (Home) --- Brohm
2021 Purdue 24 #2 Iowa 7 (Road) --- Brohm
2021 Purdue 40 #5 MSU 29 (Home) --- Brohm

So 3 times since 2000, two in 1 season (2021) is what you would define as consistently beating top 5 teams. As long as we are on the same page.

I read 3 in the past 6 years. I’ll take it. Better than most.

Shocked ND isn’t in that list more tbh

When you had your best coach ever and chased him off.

3 in the last 6 years if you are a Purdue fan
3 in the last 26 years if you understand the definition of consistently.
