Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Milton is a truly bad football player.  His decision making is horrendous.  He has a cannon, though, that has earned him the title "ol Joe the flat footed mile slinger" and he who would be capable of overthrowing the taliban or even mother Russia if fielded in such a contest. 

Glory to Allah there is hooker- but he's fragile. 

No offense to Purdue, but they don't strike me as a power team that abuses opponents offenses.  So long as hooker is healthy there will be movement north and south... hopefully more the intended direction than the other.

I like brohn and I like Purdue.  I was happy to see this match up because with both teams at 100%, it would be a very interesting game for both moderate fans and those who study the games.  I hate they won't meet at full capacity.  That sucks. 

I figured it a toss up.  I'm thinking now UT has the advantage, yet there is a nagging suspicion that's kept my cash in my pocket. 

And @847badgerfan , UT will ALWAYS be a helmet school but not for their last generation.  They were front and center early and often, and still today command one of the biggest merch markets in the sport (and one not driven by gangs).  That is a good indicator... but, 20 years of just plain bad and ugly and zero good put a pretty big dent in that especially for this generation of CFB fans.

Yeah, Milton is seriously bad at playing QB. Almost have to wonder if his best position would've been playing something else.

Purdue is not a power team, but I'd have given them the nod had their guys not sat out. David Bell is seriously awesome, one of the top WR's in the nation right up there with Olave & Wilson at OSU and Jameson at Bama. He's elite. DE George Karlaftis is sitting out and well he's going to be a top 10 NFL Draft pick. And that kid almost went to Michigan. Good lord could you imagine that? Karlaftis, Hutchinson, & Ojabo all rushing the passer together would've been a literal cheat code. There is no way in hell to block that. There just isn't. It's not possible.

Now it sounds like their starting QB is out. So Purdue missing it's top tier guys, which means Tennessee wins so long as Hooker doesn't go down and Milton has to come in.

Some early XIIing.

come on over to the shoutbox on tennessee board... it would be fun to have you. 

yeah that was some bad play... theyve slipped into a nickel trying to shut down the seams on zone coverage, and have some guys in there who aren't very seasoned in anything but thuggery. 

Tennessee calls TO a few times to get the ball back before half, but DeMarcus Mitchell strips the Hooker and gives Purdue the ball at the TN 30. 

Two plays later, Purdue finally converts a TD instead of FG.

Boilers up 23-21 at the half.

hooker is way off today.  it looks like it's between his ears exclusively.
