Purdue Snowflakes: The Defense
November 4th, 2023 at 10:57 PM ^
Walters opened the flood gates.
Nice win for the boys.
No mercy. Sweep the leg. Annually.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:10 PM ^
Eh, Michigan's not Cobra Kai, though. That's OSU, thinking that they're entitled to beat Michigan and win the Big Ten every year.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:28 PM ^
Everyone is making us out to be the enemy. You think due process is going to exempt us from being the bad guy for the rest of the year to our rivals and the rest of the Big Ten who chose mob mentality over waiting for proper justice? Nah, they want to wallow in excuses as to why Michigan is performing like a legitimately sound, well-rounded, and elite football team.
We should be running it up on everyone in the Big Ten if possible for the remainder of the year at the very least
November 4th, 2023 at 10:57 PM ^
Is Wallace hurt?
November 5th, 2023 at 3:59 AM ^
Radio didn’t say anything, not sure about broadcast though
November 5th, 2023 at 1:55 PM ^
I saw him play in the 4th quarter. He had at least two excellent plays: he blew up a WR screen and stalled out an OZ run.
November 4th, 2023 at 10:58 PM ^
Purdue must have been using their usual signs because they were awesome as always.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:00 PM ^
Allowed a touchdown, fire everyone.
November 5th, 2023 at 2:37 PM ^
Ah yes, that touchdown....that meaningless touchdown to most...
but…to a few, it was a significant, soul-crushing, backdoor-covering disastrous ending to what began as an innocent fun night …
Up 17-0 in the 1st quarter, my $300 so called "sure bet" on Michigan -31 was just a foregone conclusion: “We’ll win by 50! EASY MONEY- time to switch it up...wine to scotch...nice and relaxed…what a night!”
Fast forward to the 4th quarter up 28 with 5 mins left- commence tension/doubt/ hope: “No way we scores TD here. They’ll bring in Tuttle and just run out the clock” But no! here comes JJ for the final series…”Touchdown Michigan! Yes!!! I win!”
Then, the final 30 seconds- Up 35, Purdue at Michigan 25, 4th and 5 with the play clock winding down - CONFUSION: “WTF is going on? Timeout with 25 seconds to go?” With my eyes glued to the TV with vested interest, motioning my right foot to kick the field goal and as I hear my suddenly entertained buddy, giggling like a school child and his wife- confused and concerned- here comes fucking Card for the final play….Shiiiit! The DAGGER…”Touchdown Purdue”…Just a fucking dime!…from a guy who seemingly couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn all game. “WOW”…”It’s fixed” I turned to my buddy, as to suggest the entire gambling world was conspiring against me. My only logical explanation.
So, FU Purdue, FU Card, FU Walters! What. a. night.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
It was great except for one out-of-body experience by Waller in the first half and one missed jam by Sainristil at the end. The defensive line, Will Johnson, and MICHAEL BARRETT were their usual dominant selves.
November 5th, 2023 at 12:35 AM ^
Moore is finally rounding into form too. He's close...tipping passes. Next week hopefully he steps in front of one of Drew Allar's many checkdown special's
November 5th, 2023 at 1:57 PM ^
Will J. is going to razz R. Moore for tipping away his 2nd pick!
November 4th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
Felt bad but really at the end of the day was pretty damn good. Are you a national championship team when you're "feeling bad" as a fan ends up with this result? Loved hearing Will Johnon's name called quite a bit for once! Dude looked sharp
November 5th, 2023 at 12:35 AM ^
Yeah that last TD was a downer but it was good to see Coach happy, solid post-game
November 4th, 2023 at 11:03 PM ^
Good to see the starters playing late in the game. The rotation needs to stop now that the real season's starting.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:03 PM ^
That last td was definitely the epic double bird especially given it was on Mikey but who cares total domination.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:04 PM ^
Too bad Purdue scored within the final minute. The defense was solid and looked they came out of the game healthy.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:04 PM ^
Given that the previous high in points allowed was 10 this year, I think its safe to say the Stalions Effect is 3.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:16 PM ^
I'm using this later, just so you know. Thanks.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:34 PM ^
Michigan handed them 6 incredibly easy points, so I think the Stalions effect is about equal to zero.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:35 PM ^
Minnesota's TD was pretty BS. Not quite as gift-wrapped but still.
November 5th, 2023 at 10:35 AM ^
But there was also no CS effect in the Sparty game so split it with Purdue and call it 7 points.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:04 PM ^
The season high in points allowed will mask that this was one of their best games of the season. Purdue had basically zero real drives till that one under 2 minutes
November 4th, 2023 at 11:07 PM ^
One minute off (I think) 11 consecutive quarters of not giving up a defensive touchdown….
November 4th, 2023 at 11:12 PM ^
Purdue Snowflakes is redundant.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:13 PM ^
Only had plays from scrimmage as close as the 14. Purdue only converted one third down and one fourth done. Very nice
November 4th, 2023 at 11:13 PM ^
Charity from Michigan prevented a shutout in the first half. 4 th & 3 TD pass at end of game was a dime by Card. Not their best but pretty good. Very glad they seemed to come out healthy. 9 & 0 going into Happy Valley. Looking forward to next week.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:18 PM ^
Hopefully Wallace isn’t hurt. This isn’t the part of the season where we need corners out. We don’t have depth there anyway.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:29 PM ^
They played well. The first six points were gifted them, and the garbage time TD sucked. Safety play seems hit and miss too much.
Overall just enough things to work on for the stretch run.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:30 PM ^
Scored 41 points and it feels like so many missed opportunities.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:31 PM ^
The first six points were on the offense and special teams. Dare I say the final score does not indicate how dominant the D was?
November 5th, 2023 at 12:02 AM ^
6 Points on bad special teams and poor decision on 4th down. 7 points in garbage time.
The defense was great again as a whole.
November 5th, 2023 at 10:43 AM ^
We will go as far as this Defense takes us. I still do not believe JJ and this offense (sub-par compared to last years) has enough to win a pure shoot-out game without multiple turnovers.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:34 PM ^
3rd quarter streak continues. Next week we're breaking Penn States. There can be only 1 scoreless 3rd quarter team!
November 4th, 2023 at 11:34 PM ^
For all the attention Will Johnson's coverage skills get, he has since he stepped on the field has been a willing and physical hitter. Very impressive, and we get one more year of him!
November 4th, 2023 at 11:49 PM ^
Didnt really notice Mason Graham aside from one play late. Put the club back on!
November 5th, 2023 at 10:41 AM ^
True, did he play limited time, would be good to see the snap count tally.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:51 PM ^
The late TD mostly sucks because people who just look at scores won’t realize we crushed Purdue while OSU had their hands full with Rutgers.
November 5th, 2023 at 11:05 AM ^
Rutgers would be ranked if they were an SEC team. They aren't bad at all. OSU is really good.
November 5th, 2023 at 12:04 AM ^
I hated that garbage TD for a multitude of reasons. As I watched the Purdue sideline after that play they were all smiling and laughing, like they actually won something. Congrats, you beat an enormous spread and on your 2-8 record. I'm sure you'll sleep well tonight, douchebags.
November 5th, 2023 at 12:32 AM ^
Hey, it's always nice for a team to leave on a good note. I don't think we need to take it as an insult. It just goes to show that Purdue realistically had no expectations of winning tonight.
November 5th, 2023 at 11:18 AM ^
Yeah it didn't bother me. We were playing with the 1's till the end and punched in a late TD. Fairs fair
November 5th, 2023 at 10:39 AM ^
Yea and now Cryan Walters can hang his hat that he’s scored the most points 9 games in vs UM.
November 5th, 2023 at 7:47 PM ^
Yeah, I hate giving up those last minute garbage scores
November 5th, 2023 at 12:28 AM ^
2 fgs gifted to them and one sad TD at the very end, otherwise Purdue couldn’t do anything on offense. Was hoping for another shutout, mostly to shut Walters up.
November 5th, 2023 at 2:04 AM ^
The do it so unspectacularly too.
November 5th, 2023 at 10:40 AM ^
The future for Mikey in the NFL will be as a nickel/slot cover-guy. We should use him as such exclusively from here on out.
