I missed the end, but it must have been exciting. PSU wins, 33-28.

Purdue beat the Buckeyes by a whopping 49-20. Maybe PSU should hire their coach Brohm.

PSU exhibited its typical clock management difficulties against Indiana. Apparently, while trying to escape Indiana with a win (and runout the clock), PSU ran three (incomplete)pass plays. The mind boggles.
I didn't even bother checking on the OSU-Purdue score. I'll be damned!

Everyone, including the broadcast commentators, were confused by PSU's play calling with about 4 mins 30 seconds to go. Even if runs gained no yards, Indiana would have burned its time outs. I also thought we passed more than we needed to overall, since the run game worked fairly well. With the wind and our receivers' propensity for dropping passes, I would think running would be explored more thoroughly.
Our defense continues to struggle. While there are plenty of good plays, and a fair number of sacks, Indiana ran up huge total yardage.
Finally, I assume we practice onside kick defense-right?

Better clock management with the lead was a factor for the win. Two teams with many flaws. But hooray for our field goal kicker! Must have had an extra bowl of Wheaties today.

Tough decision whether to play an injured QB who has literally carried the team or play the finally healthy back up. Kind of a no win choice.

Less that four minutes elapsed and the news ain't good.
We'll see how things develop.
Glad I waited. PSU drives for a TD and evens things up; 7-7 midway through the first quarter.
PSU recovers a fumble, makes a field goal, and goes into the second quarter with a 10-7 lead and the ball.
