Purdue better find a way to lose to 2 of Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Iowa.
They did. Right though his hands and like last week it popped right up into the Purdue receiver’s hands. They scored a TD right after.Horseshoes are lucky, so having a horseshoe up your ass means you are very lucky. Mo Ibrahim being out, missing a 27 yard field goal, and Michael Brown-Stephens dropping an easy touchdown pass last week, an arguable missed offsides penalty on the XP block, and Maryland self-inflicting an illegal man downfield penalty on their game tying 2 point conversion, and Maryland apparently scoring 0 points off of 3 turnovers this week could all be considered either bad officiating, poor play by opponents, or just good luck for Purdue. I didn't catch the whole game, but some Maryland fans also claiming they dropped a potential pick 6 in the first quarter. I don't wanna take a really strong opinion on it, but even some Purdue fans are sheepishly stating they were gifted a win by the officials today.
How do you miss this?

Had to had been thinking about something else momentarily. You wouldn't think it would happen in a moment like this, but it can. For a quick moment he got sidetracked. Can't think of any other explanation. Clearly offside.Terrible. It would have been a bad miss if the kick WASN'T blocked. But the fact that this guy was not only blatantly offsides....but he was the one to get the block makes the miss even worse. Dude on Maryland didn't even get out of his stance before the guy was already past him. Where were the refs looking???
Purdue fans have been whining about offensive PI for years.I don't know why sports fans so often harp on things like this. It's a completely futile exercise. There will not be asterisks next to these scores in the record books footnoting a paragraph containing all of the things you've listed above. I'm sure you've heard the expression: "I'd rather be lucky than good." I think Purdue might be both and luck counts too.
Sometimes it feels like:Maryland's home crowd looks pathetic. You would think there would be some excitement for a 4-1 team.
Purdue is enjoying a recent run of positive calls and, more importantly, positive non-calls (such as offsides and offensive pass interference) to win some games. If the calls and obvious non-calls continue to favor Purdue (maybe it’s their year), they’ll be hard to catch.Purdue better find a way to lose to 2 of Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Iowa.
Depends on whether the Refs are helping you with calls and non-calls.Purdue fans have been whining about offensive PI for years.
Not like we're only ones that do it.
1. Purdue won past 2 weeks on road road isn't easy.
2. Purdue turned it over six times past 2 weeks. That isn't a sustainable model for success.
Yes, but that was a chance to make things right..That one was the right call
Figures.Purdue better find a way to lose to 2 of Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Iowa.
Does Fitz have to worry about his job at some point??Pat Fitzgerald's Wilcats look more like Rick Venturi's Wilcats.
Uhhh let’s not get cocky. We are 0-0 in both Wisconsin and Iowa championship seasons!Figures.
The year we finally beat both Wisconsin and Iowa in the same year, and beat Penn State to boot.
Nope

100% correct.Uhhh let’s not get cocky. We are 0-0 in both Wisconsin and Iowa championship seasons!
No, Purdue is not that good.I don't know why sports fans so often harp on things like this. It's a completely futile exercise.

Doesn’t sound like luck to me. Sounds more like “experimentation”.having a horseshoe up your ass means you are very lucky.
1990. Gutey was our coach.100% correct.
I’m just sayin. The West has always gone through Iowa and Wisconsin, other than the two years of NW but they’re looking like last place this year.
And when is the last time we’ve beaten both in the same season??
And the Gophers got beat by 10 by them in their home stadium on homecoming.No, Purdue is not that good.
