How did 2018 Purdue beat Ohio State and should this game concern MI
Purdue is completely different team but coaching decisions are likely similar. Purdue was aggressive on 4th down and mixed in runs effectively once they had a lead.
TLDR: Ohio State made tons of errors & missed all of their deep pass attempts (1 for 12) Roland Moore had many key catches and runs
Big Plays:
OSU misses FG attempt from 17
OSU turns ball over on downs 1 series later on the Purdue 2 yard line
OSU roughs punter- instead of a punt Purdue scores 7
Purdue fakes a field goal, holder runs for first down Purdue scores 7 instead of 3
OSU stops Purdue, late hit on QB turns 4th down on Purdue 25 to 1st down at 40 Purdue gets TD
Purdue has 2 rushing touchdowns in 2nd half that reminded me of a recent OSU game
OSU tries onside kick, Purdue recovers
Haskins throw 5 ft behind his receiver for a pick 6

Rondale Moore and no.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:49 PM ^
he had like 200yds on 12 catches or something like that. Keep cover on the one WR Purdue has and its TE, Michigan should be ok.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:17 PM ^
Ohio State just didn't feel like tackling that day, God bless em
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:19 PM ^
e.g.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:47 PM ^
plus penalties + turnovers + some luck
so disciplined football remains table stakes
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:43 PM ^
If you just ignored like 5 plays, OSU dominated Purdue
/s
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:18 PM ^
All I remember is Rondale Moore...
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:48 PM ^
I think you mean Roland Moore
December 2nd, 2022 at 11:37 PM ^
You mean Randall...
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:18 PM ^
I like our chances.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:20 PM ^
MI = The state of Michigan. Not sure the state should be concerned. I don’t think UM should be concerned either.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:21 PM ^
Charlie Jones is a nice player. He is no Rondale Moore. (He might be a Roland Moore, though, not sure).
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:30 PM ^
More Ronald than Roland. Definitely not Roald.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:41 PM ^
And definitely not a Ronnie. He’s not nearly Metal enough to rock a name like Ronnie.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:22 PM ^
We will take care of the Spoilermakers.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:23 PM ^
Michigan just needs to score early and often, sorta like how they vote in Chicago.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:23 PM ^
But looking at the play by play, it's amazing that OSU scored only 3 in the first half and only 6 through 3 quarters. They definitely moved the ball and hand no turnovers at that point. Must have just kept shooting themselves in the foot. And then add a potent offense/WR on the other wide, Purdue was ripe to take advantage of it.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:24 PM ^
Michigan doesn't have OSU's soft ass defense (some of the worst tackle "attempts" I've ever seen) and this is not a black out night game at Ross-Ade Stadium where a dying Purdue fan is in attendance.
So, no.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:33 PM ^
This. Michigan is a schematically sound laterally moving team on defense. OSU is a joke and way better than them anyway.
It's the proverbial not the size of the dog in the fight. Michigan is both size and fight vs Purdue.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:47 PM ^
I remember Tyler Trent, a true Boilermaker, and how they showed him at the game, how the Boilers would not be denied, and how the players went up to him after the game. Definitely a teary game.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:51 PM ^
Unrelated, but that Larry Prout is a great kid. Really had the feels reading his tweet to Blake Corum...
I wish I could play football but I can't. But I'm really good at having surgeries. Remember to breath slow-stay calm-hold still & always say thank you to the nurses. If they can't get your IV in after 3 tries tell them you want someone else. You will be Ok Blake!Your friend Larry pic.twitter.com/pAQ2oU5z9r

they will be aggressive with 4th downs, and we have to make them pay. Minter's defense is disciplined and will be well prepared. Wish our RB room is a bit deeper, and JJ probably will need to win this one with his legs
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:29 PM ^
Was a bonkers game. That waterbug WR for Purdue just played out of his mind to win it for the Boilers.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:34 PM ^
Randall Moore totally went off in that game. That, and I believe that was the game dedicated to the student leader that was stricken qith cancer
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:36 PM ^
No worries. Michigan has been dialed in all season (the Illinois resting-everybody game aside). Fear/paranoia level is about a 1 for tomorrow night.
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:00 PM ^
Not so fast, I think we win but Purdue covers the spread
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:41 PM ^
This is the Tyler Trent Game.
Purdue wasn't playing OSU that day. They were also playing Cancer.
Purdue Kicked cancers ass that day.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:43 PM ^
Purdue has been beating OSU for years. I think it's mental. Five wins and an OT loss this milliennium.
That said, it's also partly because they generally play a different brand of ball than most of the Big Ten. It's enough reason to not overlook them and in a sense makes me all the more confident.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:48 PM ^
If you are ranked high, you must always be prepared for the Spoilermakers.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:59 PM ^
Purdue cannot win unless Michigan makes several costly errors. Do not make costly errors and you will win. Probably the nicest possible route you will ever have for a big ten title
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:00 PM ^
Nicer than last year’s Iowa team?
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:01 PM ^
We should take proper precautions because that game was only four years ago and the crazy voodoo vibes have yet to fully dissipate.
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:10 PM ^
Every game concerns Michigan because they're not "World Famous" like the buckeyes.
That's why they're going to win.
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:12 PM ^
Watching the highlights now. I love watching osu lose. They’d lose more if officiating was fair
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:16 PM ^
Our defense will be much better than theirs was.
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:18 PM ^
I mean we should expect the kitchen sink. We should expect aggressive play calls as they know they are the less talented team and the underdog. Some of it may work, some won't. Michigan will win the game.
Also have to remember that the Purdue game was in the middle of OSUs season. Almost certainly took them lightly and were not prepared when they got punched in the mouth. I don't think Michigan is taking this game lightly simply because its the Big Ten Championship game and a win could be the difference between playing TCU and playing Georgia in the CFP semis
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:28 PM ^
Part of it is Big Ten West Chaos, and part of it is an annual tradition at Ohio State where they magically forget how to play football one game a year.
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:31 PM ^
I don't know, but that game sure put a whuppin' on my (offshore) sports betting account. Not my best day.
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:32 PM ^
The game was already over (42-20) with 2 minutes left in the game when they had the pick six. Don’t make it sound like osu should have won this game except for a couple bad plays. They got blown out!
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:01 PM ^
I see what you did there
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:42 PM ^
Rondale Moore had an epic game!
December 2nd, 2022 at 6:58 PM ^
Jim Harbaugh is a better football coach than Ryan Day orUrban Meyer. Meyer recruited at an unprecedented level that is the difference in those games.
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:14 PM ^
You should always respect your opponent and be diligent. It’s when you think you walk on water that you get beat.
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:37 PM ^
Why are you asking if we should be concerned because of a game played 4 years ago
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:14 PM ^
Besides Rondale Moore having a Heisman type game, I remember that Purdue had a linebacker (I think it was a linebacker) from Ohio who played the best game of his career that night.
December 2nd, 2022 at 10:38 PM ^
This game was easy.. purdue was at home. It's literally the only place they can beat ranked teams.
It was a night game
It was dedicated to that purdue kid that had cancer before the game. Players were motivated.
Osu couldn't score in the redzone
