No way they would have spiked the ball. It makes no sense and goes beyond any reasoning of thinking. I don't think Weis is a great coach, but he's not that dumb. |

We're not going to solve anything. I just think assuming a TD is the wrong way to go and I think that's what Hope did. I like our percentages better trying to stop them from scoring than thinking we can drive the field in 30 seconds against a defense that had shut us down until the 4th. I think we all agree that the soft coverages on the last drive were the real problem, and that came from the staff. |

Q. Yeah, he comes over and you guys were talking. COACH WEIS: Well, he knew in his mind he was going to throw a touchdown pass, he just didn't know to whom. Actually when we ran the ball on 2nd down, if we didn't score we were going to clock it. We didn't have any timeouts left because we knew what play we were going to go to on 4th down. We were going to clock it and just spike the ball and put our personnel in and call the play on 4th down. |

I'm beginning to understand why you call him the "UB of the IU side" even though I feel that is extreme. The homerism and statement of opinions as fact, is pretty UBish. |

We can sit here and blame Hope all we want, i didnt like the TO call but i understand where he was coming from. The fact is we had a chance to win by stopping them on 4th down and we didnt do it. Thats why we lost not because we called a time-out. |

Boiler22, My original point was that Hope keeping us in games hurts him more than if we got blown out. No one had a positive expectation for the season (I assume everyone knew my Outback prediction was a joke). We lose by 20 to ND no one is mad. Look at the prediction thread most predicted a loss. The team fighting until the end makes one play or moment so important. Hence the double edged sword. Hope motivates the team keeps us in games and we all get pissed. We lose by 20 everyone says it is his first season and an inexperienced team. That was the point. Then DC defends what was a bad decision. |

I was talking about the 3 page bitch fest about the TO call. Like i said i would not have called the TO but im not the head coach. He had his reasons, i still would not have called the TO there. But the fact still is we had a chance to win the game and didnt do it. Edited by Boiler_22, Sep 28 2009, 09:39 PM.

There is a person of interest that we haven't heard much from: Hoosierinhogville - what are your thoughts on how the game ended? Do you feel like the TO gave them a significant advantage in scoring the last TD? And do you think Clausen was really going to spike the ball on third down, or was it a bluff to catch the defense off-guard? Edited by BoilerVision, Sep 28 2009, 10:12 PM.

It's spreading over to his thoughts on the Colts now as well. |

I completely agree that playing off the entire series is that what killed us. That was bad defensive calling. Why wouldn't Hope assume a TD? Its inside the 5 with 3 plays (and we were going to call a timeout after the first play). Our percentages of stopping them in two plays is as low as it gets. It may be easier to stop them than score in 30 seconds, but we were never actually going to stop them, so it is actually equal. Thinking that we were actual going to stop them is near sighted and stupid IMO. |

Those were complete different situations. If you think they were similar, then you are the dumbest football fan ever. |

The '99 Gomers didn't have near the talent of this year's Gomers. Better coach, perhaps...but not near the talent disparity that we had in Saturday's game. |

Really BV, Davie has any clue of clock management to end the game and ND wins in the final seconds and Purdue goes 6-5. The game ended with ND fumbling the ball on 3rd down and never getting a play off on 4th down. Lets see what was it 32 seconds when we called the TO. I say best scenario if ND gets the play of after the run 22 seconds on the clock if Jimmy fumbles it and gets sacked what 5 seconds so 17 seconds and then they must mark the ball and call a play time runs out again because it is 4th down and ND can't clock it. If ND gets a play off it is rushed an not organized. Seems pretty similar because a hurt Jimmy rushing to call a play is best for Purdue but instead we call TO let them run a planned pay and then huddle up. In 1999 Davie screwed up in 2009 Hope screwed up. I agree the game is 60 minutes and two plays do not make a game. Everyone is overlooking the Off play we ran to end the game another sign of pure genius. We still had a TO so no need to start the Cal lateral experiment. The 1999 team of the three Brees played on was the worst. 1998 and 2003 was record wise the two best teams under Tiller. 1997 6-2 in conf The 1999 went 4-4 in conference 1998 9-4 6-2 in conf 2000 6-2 in conf 2003 9-4 6-2 in conf |
