Purdue

Gotta get a stop on the first drive.

I swear to god, #9 Stevens is garbage. Not only was that an uncatchable ball, no reason for Stevens to touch him. Purdue knows to just heave it deep. It's only a matter of time til it works.

Stephens

Good correction. Nice job.

General football question because I've never played. Are CB's and DB's trained to not play the ball? Why do our corners never see the ball and stare at their man.

Converted our last 10 3rd downs. Impressive.

College DBs do have a tough time playing the ball. That's for sure. I think it's just a hard position to play in today's college football.

Jacob...that was not a nice throw on 3rd and 3. Should have thrown it higher. Lol im picking on him.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

This has been a fun game to watch. I know Purdue is bad but it's nice to impose our will on someone in a road game.

Haha you'll come around.

 

[UCalum08]

Heyy, there's #9, STEPHENS...so glad he is on the field.

 

[UCalum08]

Our offense is getting stale. Quick 3 and outs leaving our defense on the field.

The technique being taught to most players today is to stay on the receiver's hip and run with them. As a result, it makes it more difficult to find the ball. The way the contact on receivers is called today, you have to play this way and then watch the receiver's eyes to determine when to turn to find the ball. Not an easy position to play well.

Hellllll yeah!! Loving this play. Suck it Purdue

Wow, that would be incredibly hard. You take it for granted watching the NFL because they make it seem so easy. Thanks for answering that.

This game can't end quick enough...hate feeling like no lead is safe.

Doesn't help when we aren't running the ball too good.

Saw someone tweet this. This is for you Jacob.

"I assume Tubs thinks that all team give up down 2 scores or more in the 4th, like he did against BYU"

 

[UCalum08]

I feel a turnover brewing on offense for the Cats.

Haha exactly!

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Moore needed to make that throw.

 

[UCalum08]

Jesus Christ. This offense has been pathetic. Still dislike Moore. No confidence.
