My small addition to all this: I just read my subscription to Blue&Gold and the analyst in there rated our passing offense vs their passing defense as "even". Uhhhhh...I must have been transported to a parallel universe. Floyd and Rudolph et al against a secondary which was one of the worst in the nation last year and lost the four they had? Even with the great monster end Kerrigan, this bunch still could not consistently defend the pass [or anything else, really]. The "analyst" [I'm beginning to have my doubts, now] only gave us a win on "intangibles" {Kelly; Home field; etc.}. If that guy's right about our pass offense vs a defense such as what Purdue seems to be fielding, I'm moving back to that other universe ASAP. P.S., everyone's impressed by Marve and the fact that he started for Miami. Maybe they should be. But my reading of the stats says he threw an interception every 16 attempts. Maybe all that poor decision-making has corrected itself; maybe not. Given that background [with a less-than-fifty-percent touchdown-to-interception ratio] I'd say that Purdue's question-marks at QB are at least as large as ours.

All good points. Add to that Marve had to sit out last year after transferring, plus he had an ACL injury and will be playing behind a rebuilt O-line and McBurse has had a grand total of FOUR carries (not starts, but carries) in his career.

AND... on top of everything else, Purdue has razor-thin depth at nearly every position. I expect the fast paced offensive pace will take its toll by the end of the game.

every game is important in cfb... but you do NOT want to lose the first game on the job then have to play Michigan, Michigan St., and Stanford back to back ot back after that...

got to come out guns blazing.

Uh, yes. That would be the same actor that also said, "You tryin' to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?"

I am nervous now. I think we might do alright but as per usual part of me always has that thought in my head "what if we lose, what does that mean is kelly already a bust is it just something that will take time, i hope we win we can but i dunno" uggghhhh until we hit our stride i will always feel like that
