Of course, an interception in the end zone helps keep the score right :)

UNL with a FG to end the shutout. Shutouts look bad, but I will always think that teams should try to convert on 4th down when being blown out. Kicking a FG, unlike trying for a TD, is like giving up.

Dylan McCaffery with a 75-y TD RUN called because Oliver Martin had a good block?

I really didn't think that was in the solar system of holding.

Purdue with an apparent third down conversion on a Blough keeper at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Refs wait until after the commercial break is over, then spend 2 minutes reviewing the play to overturn it.

Now, I don't quibble with that call. Blough looked a bit short of the 1st live, so I think overturning it is right.

But WHY in the world would you wait until after the 3 minute commercial break to review it? Shouldn't you review that while we're at commercial?

Oh well. Purdue got a pick, and has the ball again. The punt and INT made a nice swap in the field position battle lol...

They are stifling BCs offense.   
Love it!

Purdue misses a chip shot with the ability to go up 33-7. 

Our kickers suck.

That was definitely the right call (facemask) but I severely dislike the precedent of a ref not throwing the flag until after it goes up on the big screen and everyone is angry.

Barnes has really stepped up at LB for Purdue

true frosh WR Ronnie Bell with a TD! Bell was a 2* recruit that was committed to play basketball at Missouri State until Harbaugh offered him.

Seems like a completely different defense from the last 3 weeks.

A team that lose 3 games by a total of 7 points.  Backs to the wall, good coach.
