Official '26 PSU - Purdue game thread

[PSUcup]

For the love of god stop with the design Becht runs

 

[Marshall2323]

Wallace looks way better than Carson and Peoples today at least.

Combination of the opponent and he's hungry.

 

[PSUcup]

wtf are the refs looking for. He was 2 yards into the endzone

A too-late push back.

 

[rudedude]

The TV announcers may have been smoking crack before the game.

 

[KingLando]

We just look like a rag tag bunch and we play like it.

JMO--you just want it to be like it was with Paterno. Guys that don't celebrate after scores too. I don't disagree--that's just not realistic in 2026 if you want to recruit and win

 

[Ludd]

Let’s see if the defense can hold for 1:48.

 

[MtNittany]

That was so exciting.

 

[PSUcup]

That was a great drive. Let’s effing go. No cheap points here at the end of the half

 

[KingLando]

Good answer for the blocked punt
This game could easily be a blowout right now

I hated it years ago…a lot of games our guys looked like they didn’t care because they weren’t allowed to show excitement.

Your assessment is wrong.

Laughable late call on TD - wasn't even remotely close, Hansen's entire body was in the endzone before he was down. Only a b1g clown crew could act like that was even remotely close.

 

[PSUcup]

Kooper Ebel

 

[KingLando]

Your assessment is wrong.

How so?
You added to it
So, you like the celebrations but hate they have "style" with the uniforms? Fair, I guess--just got to embrace it though

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

LMAO, they just allowed a massive hold on the edge to spring that 1st down play.

 

[LionJim]

I’ll be pissed if taking this timeout comes back to haunt us.

 

[KingLando]

wtf are we calling a timeout

 

[PSUcup]

Pathetic

Ebel is just God awful

 

[KingLando]

My only real complaint about MC thus far is he has absolutely no feel for clock management--much like Franklin

Could be. But we aren’t actually a good team

 

[Ludd]

You know it will.

 

[Phils rug]

Hit the ground

 

[KingLando]

Could be. But we aren’t actually a good team

Never said we are--very few teams are this year
Honestly, even BYU and Georgia last week prove nothing makes sense

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Another incorrect call on the field - ball obviously hit ground.

 

[LionJim]

Hit the ground

Review boys agree with you.

 

[Nothing Special]

He's been great all year as a freshman--giving him a pass

Not his best half of football. Hopefully it turns around.

 

[Phils rug]

D holds

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Anyone else notice how every single missed / incorrect call has gone in Purdue's favor? Go figure.

My point is, Sucky teams can’t blow out anyone. They implode instead.

 

[KingLando]

It wasn't. He knows it. We know it.
He'll learn from it
It's not like we're battling for a playoff spot and can't allow him to learn from these mistakes that kids make
Especially a DB

It is hard to believe that Campbell is worse than Franklin at clock magament. Come on.

 

[KingLando]

It all just depends
Duke is a great example of a team that isn't great and plays way too close/losses games they shouldn't yet they blew up today
Even Iowa against Wisconsin
It's all matchups and some luck

 

[Ludd]

Great call, don't throw to the TE that is 6'7 down near the goal line.

He’s pretty useless though.

 

[KingLando]

It is hard to believe he Campbell is worse than Franklin at clock magament. Come on.

They're both awful--not sure who is worse

 

[Knickslions69]

Nice to watch a game with only 2 small penalties and not 50 reviews for a change

 

[Nittering Nabob]

It is hard to believe that Campbell is worse than Franklin at clock magament. Come on.

I didn't think it was possible, but it's true. He seems shellshocked on the sideline as if the game is moving faster than he remembers at Mt Union, Toledo and Iowa State.

 

[AvgUser]

The Florida Qb just threw one of the worst passes ever for an INT in the end zone

Philo was so bad they have to play Jones but he's also "so bad"

 

[Ludd]

3rd and 1 and we try to pass.
