Purdue 24, Illinois 17 Postgame

The worst single game performance of the Bielema era.
Two types of bad losses:
• the ones with the most heartbreak
• the worst single game performance where the team just looks awful
2022 Michigan will always be the first one.
Today was the second one.

We are the worst team in the B10 and it’s not that close.
The program is in crisis, which is unacceptable in year 6 of a regime. BB will get next year, but something has to change ( money, recruiting) to start believing he has a future past next year. The promise of BB was guaranteed respectability. 6 years in, that promise proved to be wrong.

Might not win another game this season. Could be a program killer.
Losing at home to Duke? Okay.
Losing at Ohio State? Sure.
Losing at home to a Purdue team that hadn't won a Big 10 game since beating Indiana in November 2023? Phew, gonna be a long season in Chambana.

2-10 season incoming unless something major changes.
The Bielema era feels like it’s entering the 2002-2004 years of Ron Turner. I think it’s still a good coaching staff, but without the talent on the field I think things look pretty bleak from here on out. Especially looking at the schedule in 2027.
Completely outclassed by the worst program in the Big 10. Says it all. We don’t have dudes on defense, or scheme. And offense is ok, but I do question the strategy of paying big money for the QB when the funds are limited. I think going forward, the strategy should be get a cheap home grown QB, and use the real money on the rest of the roster

Better hope one or two of our young qb' s develop. Might be hard to get a replacement level portal qb.

We looked considerably worse last year against an AWFUL Wisconsin Team.
Why is Barry Lunney the only person in the entire country that doesn't know he's going to run up the middle on 1st down and on 3rd down in 4-down situations?! I wish that was a worse problem than our non-existent defense.
I’d just like us to keep our recruits at this point. Michigan State and Maryland seem like winnable games and I’m sure we may find a way to win one more (assuming we don’t lose one of the first two I mentioned) but getting to 6 wins seems impossible and I think 3-9 is much more realistic than 5-7. I don’t think we lose out but this is going downhill very fast.
Just think, another 20 years and we can have a couple good years again
A loss so catastrophically bad you fear it’s the beginning of another long dark decade-long era in hell. The worst feeling you can have as a sports fan.

"I can't tell you. Secret."
This was a complete and utter travesty. No two bits about it.
What makes it even more infuriating is that the defense was actually good enough to keep us in the game. The offense just refused to do anything.
It's gonna be a long year, folks. Buckle up. We're looking like a bottom-five team in the B1G, now.

Don't let the final garbage time score fool you. Purdue took it to us on both sides of the ball.
Can't say I hold any hope of sneaking into any bowl game. I...just don't see it.

Mac Resetich cannot be your punt returner. There were so many opportunities to flip the field with a good return.
It wasn't even a threat.

If you told me before the game our pathetic defense would "hold " them to 24 I would have felt ok. Win coming.
I hope the players and coaches are as embarrassed as I am right. If not we have bigger problems than talent.
Lucky to get to 4 wins. Lucky to get any big crowds from now on. I have tickets for Iowa. Probably getting rid of them for free.
All this is on Bret and the coaching staff. Enough of the lack of NIL money excuse. It’s the lack of player development, lack of technique, questionable play calling on offense, FCS level defensive scheme, poor decisions being made on special teams and lack of execution. So many mistakes on the field.
The coaching from HC on down is such poor quality so far.
All I want is a program that consistently average 7-9 wins a year , maybe even make a playoff run in a blue moon.
I don’t see that now with this staff. 2 steps forward, 3 steps back.
Coach Underwood, please bring me off the ledge.
