Braxton Miller is starting to scare me. I was hoping his confidence would be shattered by his early issues.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:12 PM ^
"bad news, good news" but hasn't said anything further. Damnit, Brian.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:14 PM ^
Sparty fake field goal seems a bit unnecessary when you are up 24 in the second half and Iowa has shown no signs of life.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:15 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
Last week Sparty beat Minnesota by seven. The week before they lost to Nebraska 24-3. This league is full of Jekyl/Hyde teams. Wisconsin, in the end, will probably end up winning the thing.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:36 PM ^
Yeah, that's not true.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:17 PM ^

Braxton Miller looks like the type of player we thought Devin Gardner would be.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
Based on what? He's still like a freshman out there, like Miller. Gardner can throw fine, and can't be expected to excel in spot duty. It's not like he can get into a flow (maybe part of your point though).
November 12th, 2011 at 2:34 PM ^
Gardner's decision making is terrible. Miller may not be great, but look at that play where he converted a 1st down after scrambling for about 6 seconds. On a similar play, Gardner managed to throw when 4 yds past the line of scrimmage. Miller always looks like he knows what he's doing, even if he can't execute. Gardner just looks confused.
Running I'll call a push, because OSU's line is >>>>>>>> ours. (Actually, most of the B1G has better line play than we do, but don't get me started . . . )
November 12th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
Devin's a bust? since when he has two/ three more years to prove his worth.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
Let's hope he has three more years. He didn't play after week 4 last year.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:35 PM ^
Compared to Braxton Miller (a true freshman) he is.
Tell me honestly: if you had to start one of them next week, who would you choose?
November 12th, 2011 at 2:39 PM ^
Miller looked pretty shitty in his first 6 games this year. Considering that 6 complete games is a lot more than Devin has played in his Michigan career thus far, I think it's a bit early to make any kind of judgements.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:26 PM ^
some life for Iowa!
November 12th, 2011 at 2:44 PM ^
In my dream world Sparty derps the fourth quarter and Iowa wins by 1 with a last-second TD.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
Purdue alignment derp costs them a big completion and knocks them out of field goal range. That is why they are Purdue, I guess.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:40 PM ^
Sparty Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
November 12th, 2011 at 2:44 PM ^
Offensive explosion in Happy Valley for those who nodded off. 17-7 Nebraska and driving. I can't see PSU overcoming that lead.
Iowa scores again, but it's too little, too late. Try not fumbling that kickoff at the end of the half and this might have mattered.
Mizzou still up 17-5, in case anyone cares.
Also, it hasn't been mentioned, but NW is whipping Rice 28-0.
And serious question here: What exactly makes the 14-6 USC (NTUSC) -Florida game so much better than any PSU game. Do we have any evidence to suggest that PSU is any worse than Cocky/Florida/UT/Georgia? The SEC seems pretty meh to me this year after the top two and possibly Arkansas.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:57 PM ^
In all of your estimations
November 12th, 2011 at 2:52 PM ^
i bet you Sparty fumbles here! missed fg here comes the hawkeyes!
November 12th, 2011 at 2:50 PM ^
Note to Purdue: He is running on every third down. Just in case you missed the Indiana game last week. I hope Mattison is paying attention to this.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:51 PM ^
3rd and 15? QB draw every time.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
That TTU-OSU (NTOSU) makes me think Bielema has the right idea (83 at Indiana and 70 at Northwestern last year). Never take your foot off the gas pedal. If you're capable of winning 100-0, go out there and win 100-0. Nobody's talking about poor sportsmanship -- they're all talking about "domination".
November 12th, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
Hell of a duck on that 3rd down throw by Miller.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:57 PM ^
Boiler up?
November 12th, 2011 at 2:58 PM ^
Ummm...these guys need to color correct their cameras (PSU Nebraska game)
November 12th, 2011 at 3:02 PM ^
stay classy sparty faking injuries, phantom false start
November 12th, 2011 at 3:00 PM ^
Sparty is having some suspiciously convenient injuries...
November 12th, 2011 at 3:02 PM ^
Purdue and Iowa simultaneously get stopped on offense. Seems par for the course the last few years. PSU also picked up a first on fourth down, but I'm not sure how that fits in...
November 12th, 2011 at 3:06 PM ^
Purdue is doing their best to lose the game.
November 12th, 2011 at 3:09 PM ^
Hey Purdue, they're going to run the ball. Stack the box.
November 12th, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
I'm continually amazed at how the wildcat works. It's a draw every time. Everyone knows this, yet somehow it picks up solid yardage for almost every team.
November 12th, 2011 at 3:11 PM ^
Come on Purdue one big stop here!
November 12th, 2011 at 3:11 PM ^
And this is why you are Purdue...
November 12th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
OMG. Nice job Purdue.
November 12th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
Wow it was blocked...lol
November 12th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
Braxton Miller is king of the broken play. That's ridiculous. He is going to be annoying for four years simply because he isn't really that good, he can just run around in the backfield until something opens up
November 12th, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^
We haven't even played him yet and I already hate him.
November 12th, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^
purdue blocks it!
November 12th, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
on the scoring play.
November 12th, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
Nothing stupid here Purdue...
November 12th, 2011 at 3:24 PM ^
I told my wife - who sat down for a moment - that Purdue would throw a pick guaranteed. I was pretty pleased with myself.
she left again
November 12th, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
How good is Purdue's kicker?
November 12th, 2011 at 3:15 PM ^
He is pretty good.
November 12th, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^
Really, really good. And with the wind.
November 12th, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
Stupid Purdue!
