Indiana State gave up 11 less points to the Purdue offense than we did. The same ISU team that let IU drop 73. This is one of the worst defenses in the country.

Kelly...shut up about Purdue playing tough.


I know it's the political thing to say, but we should curb stomp them.

It truly is. Linebackers are terrible, secondary is poor, and the scheme is lacking. Really need to get their **** together ASAP.

Well, we got away with one here. Next week will be interesting. I don't think we'll come close to putting up 30-points against the Spartans; but we should still win that one as well.

Because we have a five star freshman who needs carries or he'll transfer like the other three we've lost in the last two years?

Play a freshman when we're just pounding it out? Especially when your blue collar running back is consistently picking up first downs? Really? Tops teams aren't playing their freshmen in that situation.

Like Michigan should curb stomp Akron? Like Stanford should curb stomp Army? Like USC should curb stomp WSU?

It's College Football. **** happens. Do we need to improve in a lot of areas? Yeah. But I'll take a win every time.

Ugly win, but win and move on. Davaris Daniels was a bright spot. Have t find carries for Bryant and should probably get Folston some touches too.

Nah we can't give them carries.. We have to find out if they "really wanna be here".. then we'll find the guys we want on our team so we can beat Purdue by 7.. it's all in the plan, have faith in the plan

because top teams are top teams, with top players. Thats why they dont play freshman. If we suck and freshman studs arent going to get playing time than what reason does anyone have to come here and play ball? Education? Theses kids want to play on sunday, not graduate from notre dame and get office jobs.

He has to get more than one carry a game - period. We averaged three yards a carry, you're telling me Bryant would do worse? If he does the same as the others then he should play because he has a higher ceiling.

No other team in the country is losing top recruits like is, as no other team is making them sit in favour of guys who play no better than them but simply have more experience. It's not a coincidence.

Play the star freshmen or lose them. And even worse, soon enough we won't be able to recruit them.

I'm sure Bryant has had to pound it out before. We must be missing something that Kelly and company sees in practice.

michigan was coming off a huge win. those letdown games happen to everyone. USC is terrible this year, and no idea what happened to Stanford, but they still won by two tds. Coming off of a disappointing loss, nd should have been pumped to get back on the field and destroy Purdue.
