The coach does have a vest that says "T.E.A.M." on the back, so im a little surprised that isn't leading to more success.

Who has Purdue beaten to put them in the "pretty clear" better than you thought? I thought they were bad, but not bad enough that Beating ball state or southern illinois moved the needle.

I think Fickell is my new favorite NCAA football coach!

A wins a win. I was in no mood to suggest that our losses were any less losses when we outgained Iowa and still found a way to lose, so I wont try to make this any less than a win. Still some things id like to fix.

Assuming we would have lost to OSU last year, we would have needed to go 8-0 against the rest of Indianas schedule to do that. Given that we actually lost to the Michigan team that Indiana beat, and we lost to a 4-5 Rutgers team, im not sold that we would have gone 8-1 against that schedule.

I hope we pull it out. Looking at the total yardage, if we do, we stole one

So, for the record, im now hearing the argument that Indiana Hoosiers football as at a structural advantage over us that makes us unfairly stuck on a lower tier?

I cant get over that, in a close game, we left four potential points on the field because our coach is too stupid to know how a clock works. I watch a lot of football, I can't remember ever seeing a team run out of time when they got the ball with that much time and three timeouts.

We had 3 timeouts and almost two minutes, and have to settle for a field goal on second down. That is horrible clock management. How can a big ten team possibly be that incompetent at the two minute drill? Whatever positives PJ has, this kind of in game management is a horrendous liability for...

This is the worst clock management in history. Even if we get the first down, what do we do?

If we run out of time and have to kick when we started the drive with almost two minutes and 3 timeouts, thats unforgivable.

At least we dont practice tackling

That offensive possession was almost good enough to let us punt the ball to their half of the field!

Serious question: does indiana have so many structural advantages over us that they are an unreasonable barometer of success?

Felt like the right balance of recognizing the obvious (you need to do something creative because you are too outmanned to call a conventional play that requires you to win a battle straight up on the goal line) but also not desperate and gimmicky (like trying to have the right guard throw a...

Absolutely loved that play design by Bielema on fourth and goal.

Before every lines up to talk about the refs being on OSU's side, its worth noting on that third down completion that came back, it sure looked like the Illinois defender was grabbing the OSU receiver's arm before the ball arrived and it went uncalled.

Playing like you dont give a damn can be a powerful thing, especially if you are an underdog.

Im surprised coach Prime isn't lobbying to have the entire NCAA retire his son's number, like the NHL did with 99 for Gretzky.

I went to the team stats for the game to check under the score. Apparently, I also have to check under total yards, passing yards, rushing yards, yards per play, first downs, and third down efficiency.
