Purdue (1-1, 3-2) at Maryland (1-1, 4-1) Game Week

Purdue Boilermakers (1-1, 3-2) at Maryland Terrapins (1-1, 4-1)
NOON - College Park, MD - BTN
Purdue finally found a way to close a game, picking up a win in their most important game of the season.  Talk about your swing games, with a loss, Purdue would have been struggling to maintain bowl eligibility.  But with that win, you could argue they are now favorites in the Big Ten West, picking up a road win over, arguably, their biggest competition.  Now while that's a nice start within the division, they already have a home loss against the third ranked team from the East in their first crossover game, and now they face the fourth best team, on the road.  A loss here, and they will likely need to retain head to head supremacy over all of their division foes.  Oddly, Maryland's best resume booster is a close road loss at Michigan.  They beat a pair of cream puffs.  After last night, the close win over SMU looks fairly troubling.  And of Michigan State's three losses, Maryland was the only team they stayed close with.  The narrative that Maryland was all offense seemed to hold last week, after Maryland and Michigan State exchanged touchdowns on the first three drives, and Maryland only forced one punt in the first half.  That narrative flipped quickly in the second half.  After scoring touchdowns on their first two drives, Maryland only reached the end zone once in their next eight drives.  Against a Michigan State defense which hasn't stopped anyone with a pulse, that's concerning.  However, the Maryland defense, which was questionable, allowed a serviceable, but not great Michigan State offense, to tally just 72 second half yards, with 62 of them on one drive.  If this Maryland defense can just be decent, that's scary.  Taulia Tagovailoa continues to develop as a passer.  He not only found 10 different receivers last week, but 9 of them had multiple receptions.  Even with Rakim Jarrett clearly not at 100%.  I think the Purdue secondary is in for a rude awakening.  Sean Clifford torched them late in that win.  Same with Syracuse.  They were solid last week, but with Mohamed Ibrahim out, the Gophers needed Tanner Morgan to do more than he was capable of.  The Terps have a balanced attack, which Purdue has been 0-2 against thus far.
MARYLAND 28, PURDUE 21

Two of you are going to have to role play as Bwarbs and McTwerps, and get after one another a little bit here.

If the refs were ever able to screw both teams, this is the game

if Baby Tua and Rakim Jarrett are close to 100% healthy and if Baby Tua can limit the turnovers to just 1 or less, think Maryland rolls at home.

Pardon my whine, but this is the first time I have ever suspected that there is resentment towards the newbies that is reflected on the field.  To ignore the blatant offsides on the P.A.T. block (the guy who blocked it was only able to do so because of his head start), but call the non-factor ineligible man "downfield" (the play starts on the 3 yard line, LOL) on the successful 2-point conversion is hard to take.

Great job by Purdue, who I think is a very good team (and outplayed the Terps except for turnovers), but the outcome has a slimy feel to me.  Maybe nobody wants the newbies being relevant in the conference, which I think this year's Maryland team is good enough to be.


Have at it, folks, I'm sure this won't go over well and I'm fully prepared for it.  I'll just drop off this site if needed...

Maryland has been getting better and better.  Thinking the Terps will upset some people this year.

The Purdue player was not offsides though.  See video below.
If you watch it in super-slow-mo, he just timed it ABSOLUTELY perfectly.

One of the analysts on a Podcast I listen to had no sympathy for the Terps on that play.  Said the Terp OL has been pushing down field past reasonable all year on pass plays.  The play started on the 3 yd line as you said.  Were did the O lineman end up?

they have to get that defense just playing at a slightly above average level and they could be a problem. not sure that they'll ever figure out that defense though....been the same story for years.

That video makes me feel better about it, truthfully.  Thank you...
