[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1455146, member: 4069"] By the way, I should add that this was THE hardest game on our schedule after the run of wins we had. I fully expected a loss, and was happy we were still in it at 48-48. Purdue knows how to close a game, that's why they're 14th in the nation. I think this very young team is also struggling with how hard it is to be consistently good over a long stretch of season. I take nothing away from their progress with this loss. They'll recover. This kind of game is a reminder of how competitive you have to be to rise to the top. It's part of the rebuild IMO to see ups and downs over a season, especially on the road. We still pass the eye test pretty easily. Guys are running the offense, just making execution errors, or struggling at times. [/QUOTE]
