Purdue 23 Visitors 17
If there is one team in the Gophers history that has vexed them it is the Purdue Boilermakers. This will be no different. It will be a game of futility, ineptness, and failure to make a play. The Gophers will show some spark initially taking a 10-0 lead into the half. The Boilermakers capitalize on three picks all in Gopher territory. Leading to two TD. With the Boilermakers leading 14-10, Troy finally houses a return to take the lead in the game at 17-14. The sideline is jubliant. Fans see a chance. The Boilers move the ball, but are forced to Punt with 5 minutes left in the game. The Gophers have the ball on their 25, and Weber goes to the air. This is where the third interception is returned for a TD. With the conversion it is now, Purdue 21 Visitor 17. The game now has less than 4 minutes and the Purdue kick off carries into the endzone. Ryan Collado fields it, the up man signals to down it. But Collado begins to return it. He runs out of the endzone sees the blockers have given up, and tries to reverse his field by returning to the endzone to make a dash up the sidelines. He is burried in the enzone for the safety. The Steam whistle goes off as the Scoreboard updates to Purdue 23, Vistors 17, there are now nearly 3 minutes left. The punt and a return to the Gopher 45. Purdue need first downs and gets two. The game ends with Purdue taking a knee.
The idea we were a play away is no longer valid. The idea held by many is the team is poorly coached, or has quit on the coach. Players no longer are willing to sacrifice their bodies or risk the chance of an injury. The rest of the season does not look promising. Mecrifully it will soon be over.
