SEC Starts Bowl Season 0-4 … Big Ten starts 5-0, but finishes 6-4 (to SECs 5-7 and PAC-12s 0-5)

[TomEric4756]

Good to see SEC holding up the BiG tradition in losing bowl games so far this year.
Edit: With Wisconsin 20 ASU 13, Big 10 is 5-0 … Finishes Jan 1 at 6-4
SEC is 1-5 (SC over UNC) before CFP Games.
SEC is 5-6 after 1 January, with the Sugar Bowl result of Baylor over Ole Miss
LSU plays Tuesday. SEC finishes 5-7 with LSU loss to K-State.

They'll be blowing out someone tonight.

Wisconsin is favored over AZ state

Sparty will need some stops v. Pitt.

Purdue has a chance to prove defensive stats weren’t padded v. Big 10 west mediocracy.

I think Purdue will light up Tennessee. Tennessee didn’t play anybody all year. Purdue’s offense is exceptional. It’s what Brohm does. Yeah - they are the Rival, so would prefer they choke ( I don’t root for other Big Ten schools in anything) but if the PU defense plays decent, they’ll run away with game.

Zebras are wearing PU gear! Total rip job this 4th quarter! What a crock of sht!

 

[HoosierAlum07]

oconnel lookn like Farva!

 

[Hoosiers Rising]

Tennessee commits PI on every play grabbing arms. I guess they think they can’t call them all. Wrong. Also going for strips and int’s on every play has cost them at least 2 tds.

 

[IUCrazy2]

Both teams forgot how to play defense.

 

[Grateful Redbeard]

The refs just screwed UT. That was a TD

0-5 baby.

Tennessee should’ve won that game easily based on talent. It’s unbelievable how poorly coached some of these SEC teams are. The speed difference was night/day.

Ha. I missed someone’s win. Still!

The uptempo cost them more than it gained them.

That was bad. TN play calling late was horrendous though.

 

[HoosierAlum07]

Tenn shoulda just gone for the 1st down at the end Of regulation instead of throwing bombs! Their playcalling was pathetic! Refs started screwing them though at the start of the 4th quarter!

 

[lUCX9]

Refs jobbed UT. Unbelievable. All game they got the calls. Wow.

Agree. Heupel found out the hard way you can win by 3 as well as 7. They could have gotten a better field goal attempt at the end than they did. UT did get screwed by refs calling the OT 4th down run dead: shame to see the refs determine this game rather than the players.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Refs jobbed UT. Unbelievable. All game they got the calls. Wow.

Still dumb play calling in their part.

We were with that TN crowd two years ago and we were only outnumbered two to one compared to the three to one pu fans face. They best get the hell out of there. They will be nasty.

They had fans?

It was 99% Orange and the last 1% was the band and players families

Some. They don’t travel well. Never have but there were enough to hear the IU sux chant on kickoffs.

Perhaps, but I didnt hear anything. All I heard was the WHOOOOOOSH or whatever that UT does.

Jobbed or not Herndon Hooker was Purdue’s MVP. Vols score close to 100 in regulation with even semi-competent QB play.

The Pilsbury Throw Boy outplayed Herndon all night.

 

[ce36ei]

Tennessee could’ve literally ran every play.

 

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

Look. I get it. It’s Purdue. Hate ‘em. But give credit where credit is due. They had a 9 win season. The did better than projected.
Allen had a game against Tennessee and choked his chance for 9 wins. Brohm gets shit done and he did it with a QB who wasn’t even a scholarship guy when he started.
The guy is a very good coach.

 

[ce36ei]

No argument here. Purdue was clearly out talented and their best player by a mile not playing and they got the win. Coaching matters!

 

[fkfootball]

Brohm does pretty good. But man, their defense sucks. We’ll see some shootouts against them for sure. If Walt Bell is good enough.

 

[Sophie1970]

Unbelievable calls…most exciting game of the year, though. Then again, their wins over those other top 3 ranked teams weren’t bad to watch either.

Will he be playing on Sunday?

They were showing the Tennessee side on TV - purdue had other side pretty well filled considering it was in Nashville - Purdue’s allotment sold out in a day

Forward progress of Tennessee TB was stopped, especially when his teammate tried to pull him across which is illegal (you can push but not pull). His TE ended up making it easier for the ref to call forward progress stopped - had he let the Running-back alone, it might have been a score

No. Jared Lorenzen has always been and forever will be The Pillsbury Throw Boy. RIP.

That was a shell of this year's D. Missing 2 DLman, the 4th LB, both starting corners. But yes, next year's defense (essentially tonights) has some work to do. Pass rush is a concern. Can't believe Purdue won this one.

I expected Purdue to win this. Good coaching pays dividends and I give credit where it is due. Brohm is one of the best offensive minds in the nation. He maximizes his roster. I was shocked that Tennessee was a 6.5 favorite.
It’s a momentum builder for Purdue to win that and will definitely help recruiting.

Loved watching that guy play. Once saw him drag 3 lineman for 5 yards. Hilarious.

This. If it’s not a forward progress call, it’s a penalty on Tennessee for illegally helping the runner.

interesting takes here tonight.

Not until he plays his 6th year in 2022.

Woah. Expected Purdue to win. That makes 1 od us. Hopefully this next year delivers the competitive Purdue vs iu game I thought we were getting this year.
