Not to jump past the NIU game, as I realize that's a fan no-no,
but looking at Purdue and noticing they've done a really nice job in the portal.
That game could be a lot tougher than it originally appeared. At their house, experienced and talented QB, added speed to the roster and almost no film (at least not any worth anything) to scout from. They look like they could be Louisville from last year, from a roster perspective.
That game could be very interesting.

Possibly. We just need to match / exceed their intensity. We've got the talent to win.

Purdue has already lost the game to ND.
They just don't know it yet.
Purdue sucks.
I believe you but...
If enough ND players read that, they might THINK they can win the game by just showing up. ND has proven this can happen more times than I care to list/remember. I just believe that at times they have lost to inferior teams. This usually happens because those teams took the game way more seriously than the Irish.
For most teams, this is their super bowl. The Irish have to play with passion and intensity each game (avoid the letdown) in order to avoid said upsets.
Pur-don’t. At dept Xmas party at last job. Sat with an MD who had an
Undergrad engineering degree from Purdue. As soon as he said he went to Purdue, my wife blurted out Pur-don’t. She looked at me and said u taught me that . I was embarassed but he said to me, u are an ND grad aren’t you.
We had a good laugh. Very smart guy
Probably, ND is the much better, more talented team,
but I'm still really impressed with what they did in the portal. Was expecting to see transfers from Cal Tech and Colorado School of the Mines. Instead they pulled in kids from UGA, Kentucky, UCLA, ND......
Very impressive considering who are (aren't).
Just because a portal player is from a name school, doesn't mean they're good.
Who did they take from ND, for example?
Of course, and not saying they'll be any good. But the influx of talent that earned scholarships
from those schools (4 from UGA, QB from Texas) is impressive for Purdue.
My hats off to em, they may actually be serious about fielding a football team. Whether it pans out or not, who knows.
OL Joey Tanona was the ND player and he's a backup there as well.
From what I read, MF agrees with you, not just that game but all of them. Finish the job GO IRISH
