Do we have to pull the crow from the freezer?

I'm pleased so far with this game but we have been fortunate Purdue has made a ton of drops
Exactly, don't worry about saving them to maybe get the football back. Take what's in front of you.
Hopefully we hold them before the half.

It goes bad if you don't eat it.

Their guys are open, but the ball...it is slick.

Maybe Purdue just can't run?
Not that I disagree, but it's not us dropping the ball...which is progress, right?
No decision, kneel the ball. You get it back in the 2nd half

Way too early for that. Still lots of football to go. Wisky thought they had us beat when they were up 13 pts.
While true, this is just as much as a matchup fault with Jeff Brohm and Purdue as it is good fortune by us. We’ve been talking about it since Thursday, a team that throws 62% of the time will face adversity in this type of weather. Their offensive imbalance is on them.

The play calling is just right today. The run game is getting bunches of yards per carry.
Besides the score, this stat is the only stat I care about first half: 16:07 to 13:53. We have controlled the ball longer.... which never seems to happen.
True. They ate it before it defrosted. Not suggesting we follow WI.
Pull it out I say. After the 3rdQ we can decide what our next steps are.
Going according to script. Must minimize mistakes in second half

I know it's wet, but todays gloves have given receivers a false sense of touch. They are spoiled by the sitckiness of gloves in good conditions and seem to have a hard time adjusting to a wet ball.
