The O playcalling has not been good. If Brown is running better today, then ride him. Reggie does better with a dry field with his cutting ability.

How long can the D hold up? Because the O is not bringing about any confidence. Really disappointed in how basic Rod’s calls have been. Making it too easy for Purdue to just load the box and not having any faith in Peters being able to complete simple passes

Fair point but can you blame him? It’s a monsoon out there. Their WRs can’t hold onto the ball, our best WR can’t hold onto the ball. Its easy to call runs here.

Purdue is going to wake up from their sleepwalk eventually. Come on Offense....add some insurance.

I want to just point out that the majority of this board was screaming for Rod to call run after run. Now we see it doesn't work. You have to have a better balance.

All things being equal, trading punts is not the worst thing to be happening here. I'd feel a whole lot better with one more score though.

I have about $500,000+ reasons to blame him. This isn’t his first rainy game. And to say our best WR can’t hold onto it is based on the one catch he dropped at the beginning, right? You cant break off many good runs without keeping them honest and forcing them to stop loading the box.
