that was like watching a young Mike Tyson in his prime fight when he was just mauling people and beating them unconscious and knocking them out in first couple rounds.

How the hell did Michigan lose to this Spartan team up 16 points? Harbaugh took his foot off the passing gas- that's why. This MSU pass defense is maybe the worst I've seen from a top B1G team in awhile. They even made Cade McNamara look good- he had a career day vs them- hasn't had that many yards vs anybody- ever.
I know how the Huskers lost when up late in the 4th.  Was a crappy punt.

awesome. thanks! watching it right now lol. 

I think he had the best speed to power I've ever seen from a boxer. Lots of boxers have speed or power- very few have great speed and great power. He was so fast, so quick, and so powerful- it was truly awe inspiring and scary.

Talk about a trick play drawn up by Brohm on the 2nd half opening kickoff!

I don't know how he taught his kicker to slip while approaching the ball, somehow still make contact with the ball, make it carom off a NU front-line blocker and then have his team land on it. Surprise onsides kick!

I mean, the announcers say it was just a lucky fluke, but Brohm COULD have drawn it up that way, right? :57:

Purdue goes down and scores, but fails the 2PT conversion. 19-7 Boilers.

God, I really effing hate it when these SEC teams schedule bodybag FCS games so late in the season. They are just not competitive at all!


It's pretty stupid. The Clemson-Wake announcers are pretty annoyed reading the SEC Scores, calling it "paycheck week in the SEC." Halftime scores are #1 Georgia up 49-0, #16 TX A&M up 38-0, #25 Mississippi St up 42-0, and Kentucky up 35-16 with later body bag games kicking off between Tennessee and South Alabama and LSU and UL-Monroe.

In terms of political boundaries, the SEC is gerrymandering their own schedule.

Looks like Reed and Crouch both hurt?  The only thing worse than losing is losing your #1 WR and your fastest LB

Purdue defense is trash today. Let NU march right down the field for a TD again. NU hanging around it's again a one-possession game. 

19-14 Boilers.

Yeah, they should schedule losses instead.

This is how it's been since the 12th game was introduced and it hasn't harmed the conference in any measurable way.
The end.
