boilerfan87 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 The reality of this season has been clear since early on. There are far too many inexperienced players, coupled with numerous and often significant injuries that would be too much for a veteran team to overcome. It is largely a lost season from a going to a bowl perspective, but it is completely different to me than the Hazel years. I still watch these games to see the young talent develop. There is more ability out there than there has been since Tiller's early days. Once it grows up and some depth is established, this could be a very solid program. If the recruiting trends are any clue, I think they will get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Plummer didn’t throw that pick six and if a few balls weren’t dropped, the outcome could have been much different. I like how these young guys are getting in game experience, but yesterday wasn’t their day. I’m taking clients to the Wisconsin game next month, hopefully they learn how to defend the run by then. If not, no biggie as Mad City has its fair share of watering holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinois, in tough weather, gashed the Boilers with the run with 242 yds rushing. The Illini was determined to run they ball and they did. They punched Purdue in the mouth. Probably saved Lovie’s job, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also need a bowl appearance I think to give him more time there....at 4-4, they have a chance. They will get Rutgers, but have 3 tough ones left with Iowa, Michigan State, and Northwestern. I think they can do it. Northwestern and Rutgers are almost certain wins, and Iowa and Sparty don’t seem all that daunting. Sure, the Hawks are ranked, but given my feelings toward polls, I really don’t put much stock into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gipper Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) HELP IS ON THE WAY!!! As of today, Purdue's highly ranked Class of 2020 recruiting class includes 2 defensive linemen, 4 linebackers, 5 defensive backs, in addition to a four-star RB, QB, and WR. Oh yeah, recruiting ain't over, more will sign. Edited October 29, 2019 by Gipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Nowlin Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 he has made progress this week according to Brohm, but not available this weekend He has said as soon as he is healthy he plays, so I do not believe a Red Shirt will be used.

Coach Nowlin Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 We had a great day at Purdue as we took over 80 kids to Purdue game today from our Middle and High School Football team and school band. Tailgating on Slater, some Purdue Pete time and a thrilling finish, with a bonus of Drew Brees!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gipper Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Well, at least I hope so. But as David Bell said yesterday, “we’re in playoff mode now”. Additionally, Google Drew Brees’ pep talk yesterday. If that doesn’t resonate with you, why even play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipper Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Plummer to undergo surgery. AOC (Aidan O’Connell) is now the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilerfan87 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I have never seen such a star-crossed season. I didn't even know how to react when Plummer went down. It was beyond "are you kidding me?" because there have been so many others. I think it was more like "well of course he is hurt." O'Connell has looked decent in limited time. Odds are they won't get a bowl game anyway, so hopefully they can beat Northwestern and keep the bucket in West Lafayette. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
