Obscene amount of penalties

Turnovers (and penalties) in plus territory will kill ya

 

[Some guy]

If you think he isn’t a step up from Mertz you are crazy.

If you watch this game and you think he is more than merely a slightly above average QB you are crazy

The Gophers are routinely among the nation's leaders in fewest penalties under Fleck. That can help make up for a talent gap. When you're not the most talented squad on the field, look for any small advantage.

Tuned in just in time to see the Whiskey RB break his leg. Uff.

 

[RememberMurray]

Wisconsin snaps the ball with 20 seconds left on the play clock while holding a 13 point lead. That's inexcusable.

 

[upnorthkid]

Mellusi def looks like he’s done for the year

Horrid clock management on multiple snaps in a row. Should be another minute off the clock if they were doing this right

 

[MNVCGUY]

Mellusi def looks like he’s done for the year

Yeah that did not look good at all. Will be shocked if that one isn't a season ender.

Neither team has looked very good in this one at all.

 

[RememberMurray]

Now a pass play on 3rd and 11, incomplete, stops the clock.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Sconnie giving Purdue all kinds of chances to win this game....Purdue just doesn't want to do it.

Awful injury to Mellusi. Lower leg rotated 90 degrees. As much as I dislike the Badgers really hate to ever see that.

Yeah. I’m not a doctor but he is done until at least November

Yeah. He was playing great too

 

[MNVCGUY]

Card puts the ball up for grabs a lot.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Yeah. I’m not a doctor but he is done until at least November

2024, if he’s lucky.

Second half I’ve actually been more impressed with purdues defense than offense

 

[Some guy]

2024, if he’s lucky.

Small chance it’s just a really bad sprain because his bones are jello

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Good lord, Purdue

 

[RememberMurray]

Wow. Purdue. Understand the situation. Holy Cow, you grab the ball and then relax, and let Wisconsin strip you, with the game on the line?

 

[MNVCGUY]

Yeah. I’m not a doctor but he is done until at least November

If he plays again this year I will be shocked.....that looked really really bad.

 

[jonnyganas]

Looking at the box score, it's wild that 2 air raid offenses have yielded 0 passing TDs and less than 200 yds passing each deep into the 4th.

 

[RememberMurray]

Conversely, smart, heads-up play by the Wisconsin kid.

'Modern' football.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Why the F would you waste that 2 point play in a game where you are up 19 late in the 4th?

 

[RememberMurray]

Classy, Wisconsin. Shades of Bielema.

"The card said go for two".

 

[MNVCGUY]

Conversely, smart, heads-up play by the Wisconsin kid.

Yeah....they played to the whistle and Purdue didn't.....Purdue had lot so chances to get back into this game but blew it every time.

 

[gopher71runner]

Fickell must use the same "card" as Bielema--going for 2 when up by a bunch

 

[upnorthkid]

Why the F would you waste that 2 point play in a game where you are up 19 late in the 4th?

Gotta go up 21 with 4 min left. Purdue definitely could score 3 TDs /s

"The card said go for two".

I mean I guess you can see a case where going for 2 there makes sense but using the trick play in a game that is well in hand just feels dumb to me.....that was a really well designed play but those 2 points were meaningless.
