Purdue fans predictions and comments for the Michigan game
To say that some Purdue fans are confident might be a massive understatement. They are riding high right now after upsetting Missouri, and expect no less against Michigan.
I was surfing around Big Ten blogs and message boards and I found a few comments that were a little mouthy from Purdue fans IMO, and I thought I'd post them here - just in case you weren't properly motivated.
Purdue could mess around and beat Michigan next week. Jeff Brohm is a difference maker.

Purdue upsets Michigan next week. You heard it here first
It feels strange to type this, but Purdue is the biggest test Michigan's defense has faced to this point.
Yes, Purdue is good enough to beat Michigan
Purdue has actually beaten Ohio State more times in the last 10 years than Michigan has.
Oh, and we needed fewer tries too.

Brohm is going to scheme against a very strong defense and Purdue is not going to get shut down completely. I am not expecting another 35-42 points, but We’re going to score some. Can we keep Michigan kicking field goals or worse?
I don’t think Michigan has the offensive talent to run away from us, let alone most teams in the Big Ten.
Purdue has more wins over Ohio State since 2004 than Michigan
I say that’s legit.

Michigan is way overrated
I wouldn't be surprised if UM ended up 6 - 6 or 7 - 5. I give UM at least 3 BIG victories because of their defense but unless our offense improves drastically from it's putrid play the previous two weeks against inferior opponents Purdue fans will be celebrating a decisive victory.
I agree with some fans here, if Purdue is able to get an early lead, UM simply doesn't have the offense to score enough points.
If Purdue can't beat UM then Brohm needs to be fired. The Big Ten is way down this year except Penn State which the only team getting a major bowl invite. Harbaugh has nothing to prove this year because if you true football fans have been paying any attention Harbaugh is heading to the Colts next year.
I watched them play a good but not great AFA team yesterday. Their QB did not throw accurately and made some poor decisions. Michigan defense is solid but certainly vulnerable, didn't have much of a pass rush on smaller AFA OL.
We can beat these guys.
Michigan is certainly beatable
Playing in front of a sellout homecoming crowd against atop ten team...I can't see a let down. Michigan could handle them but I dont think it would be because we're not ready to play.
We cannot lose to this clown
Two games in a row with mediocre performances till 4 the qtr. Should Purdue strike early and often by getting points, it might be too late for Michigan to catch up.
This year is different and feels different. We now know how to score with a balanced attack. Our defense plays stingy as well.
Purdue 35 MI 24.
Kids believing in themselves is the key,he is telling them right now lets win our first big ten game at home in front of a sellout crowd, shock the world again.
Purdue will blow the game open if Michigan plays as lethargic as they have in the past two games in the red zone thru 3 quarters. My hunch stays with a track race pace that Michigan cannot keep up with. Holding officially at Purdue 35 Michigan 24.
Michigan is ripe for the picking. I know we haven't beat a ranked team in yrs. It will happen on 9/23.
My guess is that Harbaugh tries to simply out tough and out muscle Purdue (which a team hasn't either tried or been able to) to run them down in the late 3rd and 4th quarter...my guess is that is what Missouri wanted to do but when Purdue got up 21-0 in the first quarter, that went to hell and a hand basket.
If you enjoyed watching us crush Missouri, you'll enjoy what Brohm has in store for Michigan. 42-12 Boilers
The great thing about playing Michigan right now is their quarterback SUCKS! Boiler the fuck up baby!
Brohm has us on a path to 9-3, just like Tiller in '97. We're going to whup that ass on Sept 23 and I'm going to say I told ya so
35-7 Boilermakers. Michigan is garbage.
They can't score in the red zone HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Fuck Michigan
Sellout crowd = huge Purdue win
Michigan is scared
Jeff Brohm > Don Brown
I have been waiting a long, long time for a huge Purdue upset, and I can feel it coming this Saturday against Michigan. For 4 yrs with Hazell we sucked, but now we have a legitimate coach in Brohm. Michigan is 100 percent overrated and 100 percent beatable. They have no idea what's in store for them. Harbaugh's "vaunted offense" has been a complete joke this year. Their defense will have no answer for Brohm's schemes. He's a brilliant play caller. Expect this to be just like the Missouri game. Michigan would get walloped by Missouri… we shut THEM DOWN. Can Michigan even move the ball? Can they even score points? We get through and sack Speight once and HE'S DONE. There is no reason why we can't win this game. Michigan dies officially on September 23, a day that will live in Purdue football history forever.
What a joy it would be to embarrass Michigan on national tv
Stat of the Day:
MICHIGAN SUCKS
Don Brown vs Jeff Brohm? One is a genius and the other coaches for Michigan. Brohm wins every day
Purdue wins and the meltdown from Michigan fans will be EPIC
This will be my daughter's first game and she is so excited to watch us beat Michigan.
Purdue 42, MI 6

I do like the "we've beaten OSU more times than Michigan in the past 10 years" line of argument. Because sure, that's a metric you should focus on. Not the fact Purdue hasn't won 10 or more games in a year since 1979. Here is a short list of teams that have accomplished that feat in the intervening years:
Rutgers, Wake Forest, Illinois (3x), Kansas (2x), Missouri (5x).
I do look forward to visiting that site in 2 years when Brohm leaves for a better job and they are left wondering what hit them.

dream crushers are coming
September 21st, 2017 at 3:59 PM ^
These guys are just excited about their team. What they don't know, is that Harbaugh is going to have this team so pumped up for this game, they are not going to know what hit them. I think the defense is going to be fired up. Also, fuck purdue.
September 21st, 2017 at 3:59 PM ^
I came here for a laugh, but then saw the comments about Purdue beating OSU more times than us (in fewer games) since 2004 and all I could think of was Sad Jordan meme.
I'm confident we will beat Purdue this weekend, but I really care about flipping the script against the buckeyes.

This quote right here should tell you everything you need to know about purdue fans:
"Brohm has us on a path to 9-3, just like Tiller in '97. We're going to whup that ass on Sept 23 and I'm going to say I told ya so"
I mean wow. "Whup" our ass and go 9-3! What a year that would be.
September 21st, 2017 at 4:08 PM ^
This literally reminds me of Rutgers fans last year, and then after the game it was like "What the fuck? How does Michigan hang 70 on us in our own back yard?" BEAT PURDUE fergodssakes
September 21st, 2017 at 4:12 PM ^
AF threw one pass, right?
lol

They're excited. They deserve to be, Most of the comments I've seen for Purdue folks are cautious optimism, which has got to be a wonerful place to be for a change if your lot in life is to be a Purdue football fan. God bless 'em.

This game has me concerned, but in a good way. Seriously, a month ago, who would have thought this game would have any significance?
Michigan's defense is scary good; Purdue's offense is scary good, schematically challenging at least, and could keep the defense on the field a lot longer than it has been used to. OTOH the Wolverines' offense, especially passing and in the red zone, has been less than scary. And given the fact that, for years, in away games Michigan has been cautious in its playcalling and not played particularly well, especially offensively;
But find a way to make it through this game and get to the (too early) bye week, and Michigan has to feel good about how this season for how the season set up, especially on the defensive side of the ball- four rather different challenges addressed, and that should set things up nicely for the rest of the year. It will be a great test,

Purdue's "scary offense" is ranked 17 spots below us in S&P. It's amazing how good your offense can look when you play teams with shit defense. To put that into perspective, we've played arguably the ugliest stretch of offense during the Harbaugh era against defenses as bad or slightly better than what Purdue has faced and still have managed to perform better. Purdue isn't gonna know what hit them, at least when they're facing our defense.

The day Purdue fans shit the bed.
September 21st, 2017 at 6:23 PM ^
Don't care about some delusional Purdue fans. They are just uninformed about what is coming. The nervous nellies on here though are pathetic. Michigan out classes purdue at almost every position and people are scared of some kind of upset. Unreal. Look for Michigan to play a clean game and roll. Purdue is ripe for a grudge fuckin and it's coming. Unbelievable, Michigan is the alpha dog and will roll.

will be disciplined and play well. There might be some tom-foolery from Purdue, but I predict pain for the Boiler-Makers.
Speight will have his best game and running backs will be catching passes for big gains.
Go Blue

In his presser yesterday stated that Purdue is what he's used to seeing and he's not worried one bit.
Most they get is 10. Nordin will score more than that on his own.
37-10 good guys
