I agree that it was unacceptable to play so far off the receivers on the final drive...especially leaving the receiver wide open as he set up right next to the first down marker on 3rd and 16. But I'm not too big on the idea of rushing everyone on Clausen. If we do that, he flips the ball over the line to Tate and Tate is gone...in my opinion. And I agree, no excuse for the timeout. Clocks running with 36 seconds left in the game and you're ahead, you go with what you have on the field. We might never know who called it. Edited by BoilerVision, Sep 26 2009, 11:26 PM.

As someone a little older let me be the first to tell you that, other than the Drew Brees era, this is Purdue football in a nutshell, LOL. But after getting blown out in games like this from '05 to '08, I'll take this......for now. Edited by BoilerVision, Sep 26 2009, 11:45 PM.

Damn Irish. I thought that defensively Purdue put themselves a lot of times in a great position to make a tackle and simply didn't make it. Also didn't understand the cushion that they gave the reciever on the end on the third and 16. When it came down to it, they were one play away....but I just felt as probably did most Boiler fans that they simply weren't going to make it. |

i agree. at this pace the irish will probably win in the neighborhood of 7-8 games, which will keep charles around for yet another season. let the mediocrity continue. seeing the irish vastly underachieve is awesome. coming down the to the last possession against 1-3 teams in back to back weeks isn't a great sign. |

Hope said that the timeout was called because he wanted to save some time to get three or four plays off if ND scored. "I'll look back at the situation and maybe it wasn't a great idea." I guess he assumed they would score, not believing the D could stop them. I'm afraid that says some disturbing things about our coach. |

That doesn't necessarily prove that Hope called it himself. A real head coach takes responsibility for his staff's actions. |

Our best football teams weren't quarterbacked by Drew Brees. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

I agree, but do you really think the defensive coordinator, or anybody besides the head coach, called it in that situation ? If so, Hope is not running the asylum. |

I am tired of losing these games. I mean you think we'd come out on top once in awhile but nooooo that is just to much to ask for from a football program. Im past the drunk stage and am now on the i can't believe we lost another close fucking game kick. Jesus this is what 12 points in our three loses? |

The biggest thing is that it seemed that Notre Dame was in complete disarray when the timeout was called....it looked like they were going to actually spike the ball to stop the clock, IMO an incredibly stupid think to do with 36 seconds left. It would have forced them into a single play to score. I think that we can all agree that the timeout increased Notre Dame's chance of winning. |

The announcers said you could clearly see the ND coaches motioning with their hands to spike the ball. Blackledge called the last play to the TE perfectly. Who knows if they would have called that play without the TO. |
