Wtf was harbaugh doing passing at the end? I wish we could have picked one off just to make him pay for the stupidity.

Loved the effort by the players. Very. Proud of them.
I didn’t know you could block a cornerback before a pass is thrown.

If you would have told me we would have lost 19-17, i would have been thrilled with the effort, but this one really hurts after having the lead.
Just the absolute dumbest time and score decisionmakers possible on this coaching staff. You could put Lunney and Bert in a room with one door, hand them the key, tell them they had an hour to escape and they wouldn’t make it out.

I've always been a much bigger basketball fan than football fan, but was drawn in by the success of the football team this year. After Purdue I told myself I was done watching for this season, but no. They draw me back in with a solid first half, just to crush me in the same way by playing not to lose.

The difference between this game and 2007 OSU is that we didn’t play not to lose in 2007. We went out and made plays to win the game. This team and coaching staff did not do that.
It would have been nice to get this win for Bret, and the way it finished hurts.

people thought we were going to get smoked 63-0 or embarrassed. We were in the game the whole time, we couldn’t get a stop in the fourth or get a needed first down, but we played tough. I don’t want to hear about anyone saying the northwestern game is an L or that we will only win 7 games all year. Team has a lot of heart
Absolutely stupid

We would have won if Sencire Harris had gotten in the game, but alas.
I did, check the pregame thread. Happened close to how I said too. I thought it'd be a heartbreaking special teams loss due to a punt block though. We had a chance just couldn't get over the hump.
Lunney continues the brain dead play calling. Great effort by our guys but he continuously does not put them in a position to succeed. You have to be way more creative than running delays up the middle and slow developing run plays when the defense knows you are going to run the ball with a lead. Just zero creativity.
Still a chance to get to a great bowl game if we take care of business next week.

Refs there when SCUM needed them most, of course, but we played not to lose
Not sure if he could throw it any further into the wind.
Tough loss.
That’s even worse than I thought. Inexcusable for the side judge to not throw that flag.
This is unfortunately 100% correct. I knew once they ran up the middle on first down the game was over.
Lunny? Not sure we have a great tailback, but you can’t just run up the middle when they know it is coming?
