It's early yet.

This. The bigger the lead, the bigger the heartache at the end. Remember, I'm also a Flacons fan.

49-7 in the 2nd quarter. I think it is safe to say that we may actually win this one and we are virtually assured to have a column on AL.com tomorrow saying that we hate terminally ill children who cheer for Purdue.

After this game I think Gus needs a raise.

You shut that dirty, whurish mouth. We're just dumb enough to do it.

Okay, now that's some funny shit right there.

This does nothing but make me question even more deeply his ability to lead. It makes me further lament the colossal waste of talent year after year.

So. Is Purdue a white ASU? Or did the OL get better?

ASU's DL was stronger than Purdue's.

I wanted to put up more points on 'em to set that Bowl record...but I'll settle for the 1st half record.

Agreed. It seems to me that Gus finally took the handcuffs and went all in. Why in the hell hasnt he already been doing that? Aggressive but aggravating.

Still almost no running game, though it was refreshing to see Kam Martin out there.

The gameplan looked to be half JS-appeasement and half-sales pitch to George Pickens.

Against a middling Big 10 team that game plan sets records. Anyone want to guess where Purdue's passing defense ranks nationally? 125 out of 130 per http://www.cfbstats.com/2018/leader/national/team/defense/split01/category02/sort01.html

Against our usual schedule, we get our shit pushed in...again.

Who will throw to Pickens?

I'm a little pissed and a little happy. Pissed because I want to know where this has been all season. I know Purdue is shitty,but the play calling has been nice. This O would've beat everyone but bama and uga. Probably would've gave them fits. So I'm I'll to a point.

I'm happy as a pig in shit watching this! I see those number things on the score board and don't remember what they are. PointsPor something like that. That was fun to watch.

Disagree here. Against our schedule and going on what I saw this past season we win every ballgame sans bama and ugay. Possibly and highly likely we beat ugay too. I'm not getting crazy with the cheeze wizz here, but we scored 63 points against a power 5 team. Could've scored a lot more if we wanted to.

From 5 minutes into the third quarter this one was how can we get everybody on the field and keep this out of the 80's. Purdue was terrible, didn't want to be there or both. They had three that could really play but beyond that they were soft. Our offensive linemen pushed them all over the field...our linemen!

I kept asking myself how could THIS TEAM beat OSU? We were stronger, faster and far more aggressive.

******
What stuck out to me was the stat that popped up about three minutes before the half ended. WE WERE 1 for 2 on THIRD DOWN!
This indicates we did almost all of that damage on 1st and 2nd down in this one whereas during the season our offense was generally mired in third down decisions brought on by shitty play calling...predictable one yard dive plays, silly assed long developing end arounds and lateral wide receiver screens.

But the play that pisses me off more than any other is the Schwartz reverse.
We have the fastest fucking human in ALL of FOOTBALL and Dumbshit can't get him the ball in the air. This is an unforgivable waste of talent.

Was thinking this every time they spent a few minutes on the kid. We're the assholes that trashed a dying kid's favorite team right in front of him. We probably kicked his dog, too.

The play calling was fluid and seemed to have a sense of purpose. I don't think you can underestimate the focus/execution of the players, though. What had been a collection of talented kids bumble-fucking around the football field finally looked like a team of players who each understood their assignment and performed it with gusto.

We scored 63 points because we were bigger, stronger and MUCH faster than everyone one in white less and except Rondale Moore. Our OL (!!!) was getting a strong push across the board and our DL was camped in their backfield the entire game. Our WRs were running wild behind the coverage. I think the only SEC team that Purdue could match athletes with would be Arky.

Bo

He's a little old, but he can still play.

But I bet Malzahn would keep him on the bench or have him at FB.

FIFY. Purdue was out match athletically. The play calling was like the first day of work and layoff day, in that, you see what you're not going to get and you see what you didn't get. Gus is holding out for some reason.

Meanwhile at SPUAT, Bama should have a field day in Oklahoma's secondary as Oklahoma ranks 130 in passing defense. It could get ugly quick. Bama may break Auburn's record for first half scoring in a bowl game. IMO.
