For better or worse that swagger and demeanor is part of the identity of this team. It comes from and feeds that aggressive nature out Defense wants to hang it's hat on.

I really don't like these 3 man rushes. Not sure what Henry's infatuation is with them, but he needs a freakin intervention
Yep, Witherspoon was a big talker also.
Momentum. He was trying to keep from from crushing him?
Rushing with three a loss for thee.

For sure, our secondary dances exclusively on that line.
Announcers claim that's to keep Card from running.
Maybe but he's got all day to throw, why run?
I think it's a combo of two things.
1) Randle, Johnny, and Gabe had a lot of hype and our DC believes in it and thinks they can win 5-3.
2) I think they are some zone blitzes where the air raid routes fill the rush zones taking away that pressure.
Gotta tackle on 3rd down
Spoke too soon think they are getting gassed from the lack of sustained drives by the offense
Clear fumble
Is there a good camera angle of the fumble
Purdue can put us away if they figure out their hurry up offense. Our defense is struggling to even get set before the snap when the run tempo.

That better be our ball.
Agreed. I hope this call ends up being a fumble.
That ball is out!
