    I don't know how I missed this last weekend:

    That move at the end? Did that boy break both his ankles??

    Lost in the shuffle was Purdue, who was thoroughly beaten by the Irish (and clearly we aren't a great team) and to me looked like they would not have a good season has beaten a top 25 Illini team and of course Minn. Maybe they have turned some sort
    of corner. I saw some of their game with Illinois and noted that Robert Marve is not the QB, the guy who started against ND is and he looked a lot different against Illinois than he did against us.

    Stu are things starting to look up for the Boilermakers?

    Terry, I think we are starting to establish an identity and figure out what we do best. Defense keeps getting better also.

    We have good special teams and a great kicker, yet they let us down in two games. We could easily be 6-1 right now and 3-0 in conference play.

    Now comes the meatgrinder part of the schedule. We have to win two to be eligible for a bowl for the first time in a while...Schedule is Michigan, Wisconsin, OSU, Iowa, and Indiana.

    Stu,

    I can't imagine that you will not beat Indiana, and the Iowa game is up for grabs. Now if you can pull off the upset vs. Michigan.....................

    Well, overconfidence can be a bad thing. IU beat us last year, and it probably shouldn't have happened.

    Best to just beat Michigan and Wiscy and get it over with early. :lol:
