I think i'm done with this game. They made it look way too easy the last two possessions. Down 8 now and could very well be 15 by the time we get the ball back in the 2nd half. The coaches did not have them prepared at all today, or maybe Rutgers is just that much better than us., either way it's brutal. My blood is boiling now over this, i don't think i can handle another half of this.

What the hell was the point of that last play?
Genius end to the half there.
Purdue.
Stoopid call to end the half, why take even a slight chance at a pick 6?
Weird play calling to say the least.
Lack of focus on that delay of game sums up the team effort in the first half. Cmon Bert! Scream in their faces at halftime!
The way we’re losing is embarrassing
One in Eugene was pretty bad... same for Purdue 2nd half
Really impressing the Citrus Bowl reps today. Let's try to maybe find some intensity in the locker room?

Close - but not as bad as PU 2H
I’ve said all along this is a 7-5 team
Did your brain (understandably) suppress the second half against Purdue?
This is on the coaches and the seniors.

This is the easy way out, and it’s not that simple. There’s zero way to deny we’ve played so much better than this in previous games … like we HAVE the evidence that we can play so much better than this.
I don’t know what got into these guys’ heads, but the defense looks mentally off. It’s an effort/energy/mindset issue.

For the defense, yes. This isn’t the Oregon offense in Autzen, lol.
Citrus bowl wants one of these teams?

May not have much of a choice. A lot of mediocrity outside of B1G top 4.
Purdon't second half being forgoten was too easily than I thought...
