I'd like to make this game since it is such a short ride for me, but I have a season ending volleyball tournament to coach on Saturday, and maybe, just maybe there will be a Game 7 to watch.

Great write up ELA.  Lots of good stuff here.  One of Blough's biggest weaknesses is taking unneeded sacks (though I prefer that to forced picks like plagued him early in his career.)  I am hoping like hell for an upset but figure we'll see an entertaining shootout (unless wind gusts screw that up) with OSU's talent prevailing by 10 at the end.

Wow!  Didn’t see that coming.  Purdue is in the hunt in the West.

I think Buckeye coaches watched too much Texas Tech film

It sure looked like that yesterday, but OSU almost always gets everyone's best shot. 
Next week they will be back to looking like Purdue, and Sparty will give them all that they can handle. 
If I've seen it once, I've seen it a hundred times.

Can a team really give another team "their best shot" while giving other opponents less than that?

I just watched an OSU make mistake after mistake, penalties, alignment issues, not being able to run the ball, giving up on trying to run the ball ...  a Perfect Storm.

We see this happen every year to top teams, which is why going 13-0 is so rare.  Somehow, a team can "have a bad game" and get upset once a year, even a much better more talented team.

I view it more as a statistical event than something relating to motivation.  You don't quite make that first down, you have a crucial penalty, some WR drops a ball, then the team starts pressing, which is mental, and things spiral out of control.

And Purdue has a pretty good well coached team.  I hope they can keep their coach.  They were a team I "had my eye on" this year.  As noted, they lost 3 games that could have been wins.

Others can confirm or deny whether or not they recall a let down after strong performances vs OSU in years past, but it seems like a pretty regular occurrence from my vantage point that after an OSU upset/near upset you watch some of their next few games and wonder "these are the same guys?"

I was at an Eagles Concert in Cleveland and missed the game.

Quick question: How does a team throw for ~500 yards and only score 20 points?

Completely ineffective in the red zone. Think they were there four or five times and 6 points out of it

The receivers had some inopportune drops.

I heard it was 4 trips to the red zone. An interesting thing about that is, even if each had been a TD+XP, it still wouldn't have been enough to win. That's nuttier than the blowout to me.
