Agreed. Just have to win. And today we did. Conference game. On the road.

Love being 4-1 - two very winnable games in the next two and a bye for a much needed week of rest as well. GBR!
Agreed - defense played well - offense moved the ball all game. We put them away in spite of atrocious ST play.

Glad the way they responded in the second half. First half looked like all that we hate.
They gotta figure out how to establish the run. Something about the rhythm that our OC has troubles with. Bullock looks like an all conference backer

It felt really good to put a team away instead of finding a way to lose. That’s a big takeaway from this game and one that Rhule hit on in post game interview.
Didn't see the game, but just watched the highlights on YT, and yes I know, Purdue is not all that good. So all the same, not seeing the drudgery of the 1st half miscues other than the ugly FG attempts, what stood out to me was DR's vision of the field and ability to perform his check downs. He really is all that's advertised. NU D seemed solid enough. On O, some of the play calling didn't look all that bad. Still plagued by mental mistakes, but I didn't see any fumbles and the PICK6 was cool but all on Purdue's QB. Purdue was obviously terrified of DR because their DBs were all over our receivers and were called for it a lot too. Would like to see better separation, but receivers seemed to be able to get just enough room. Seemed clear that NU was the better team and that the score should have been higher.

Wasn’t pretty, but if you watched the game, we looked like we were 35 points better than Purdue. But we made too many errors and executed like we were 18 points better. So… not a great performance, but we showed we can be a pretty good team when we don’t beat ourselves.
I give this staff major props for basically fixing our turnover issue... Grinding out these kinds of games wouldn't happen otherwise...
Learning how to win UGLY is a step forward for the program.
We’ll take them any way we can get them
Not sure I see any more Ws on the schedule if we play like we did the first half. I was an 8 win guy to start the season. Now?? Not so much.
This is a game we lose the last 5 years. Maybe last 10 years.
Thankfully we have a QB that helps us overcome a shit ton of obstacles from years before and relieves a lot of pressure off of every one of his teammates shoulders. Defense included.
We are no longer a turnover machine. We can withstand completely shit awful play for 2 quarters and hang around. And if we can't run the ball, we have a kid that is a pretty freaking cool customer that can sling it a bit.
4-1.
Bring on undefeated Rutgers.

Our competition isn’t that great. But neither are we so it will be a grind.
Would be nice to see them play a complete game
4-1. I like my team, the direction and the urgency to be great. Get the fvck on board.
Amen. We were the better team. It didn't represent that on the scoreboard at half. But we were dominant. Grateful for Rhule and company doing just that.
DR seems to be good for about 30-60 yards of PI penalties. He throws it where defenders are put in a difficult position. You can almost add that to his passing numbers.
Purdue played like shit and we played out of our minds (before Jeff Sims nearly let them back in the game)
This year we played like shit for 3 quarters, and still won by 3 scores.
Make no mistake we are a better team than last year, but we’re still toeing that “Wisconsin and Iowa are gonna be squeakers” line that we have to get past.
I'd like to think we'll beat UCLA, but it's all good or better teams besides them. Going to be interesting.
The only loss I’m resigned to at this point is O State. Anyone else we will be slightly favored or a slight dog (USC). Wouldn’t be surprised if we are favored in all but two more games.
It would be hilarious if OSU spent all that money to be just an above average BIG team.
creating turnovers and not turning it over make it a hell of a lot easier to win these shitty games
Cool.
Not even sure WTF that is even supposed to mean.
We beat Illinois last year. We lost to Colorado last year. Amazing shit.
Sloppy ass game. Seemed like we were actually interested in winning the second half although it should’ve been 7-0 at the break. Too finesse in the 1st half against this team. Emmett took RB1 duty over. He needs to start going forward.
