I thought we still looked shaky on offense. The defense shut them down. I still don't think we're very good, but we were better than them. That may have to be enough at this point in this season. I'm not a big fan of the Ketchup uniforms.
You have absolutely no clear what you are talking about. They are trained to let that sort of situation play out and then make the call on the review. You can complain about a lot of things about the officials but that isn’t one of them. Neither the line judge or head linesman thought that was a fumble.
Kyle Kempt was calling the plays according to my source.
John Walters is free. I agree with you. I have many ISU game memories not even video broadcasted. It is better now.
Closing out the game with several scores was sure good to see even if it was still pretty rickety.
That’s infinitely preferable to another humiliating beat down which probably still wouldn’t get TCU in the playoffs anyways.
I’ll bet, but I thought Purdue would give them more trouble. he’s a very positive person, so likely just soaking in the hawk win.

I’m not sure TCU gets in at 13-0. They’d invent some new rule again if they have to and then contradict that new rule a few years later.
Unlike the year they truly did get screwed, I don’t think they could win the playoff anyway.
Lot of little things to nitpick from today, but overall that was a really nice win. Happy for the guys and glad to see them execute in the second half.
Nobody answered my question earlier. Posts get buried in a game thread, I know.
But I'll repeat, I saw Scheelhaase seemingly doing a lot of play calling in the first half. Did he get a crack at it today? What was Manning doing?
On offense - everyone showed a few (not alot) more flashes. OL putrid at times, then you see Hufford finish a block on a 3 yard run & couple run plays to left side of the line after it was lit up on pass rushes in 2 consecutive possessions prior. Just a little more chip on the shoulder seen. TEs with important couple catches & some more blocking in other packages. D was tough. Think Reeder back made a difference, especially versus the run. They have 2nd most prolific pass catching WR in the league & held him in check. They tried to pick on Purchase, but other than the INT (better that than giving up a catch there), he played very solid. Dekkers was pretty efficient, but our D & WVU's mental mistake (on punt) allowed for his efficiency to make more of a difference in today's game. Their DL is legit & gave us problems, but it appears adjustments were made on the fly in the 2nd half to offset this. There was more creativity, too, as well as roll outs. Not that all we armchair warriors are responsible (no one of importance reads this board and/or gives af), but these were all things clamored for here ad nauseam and lo & behold, we saw a fair amount of this today. Just too bad it's game 9, but f it, let's win out & f everything up.
Honestly, we looked bad to mediocre until the 4th quarter. Then we got a very timely roughing the punter call, and it was like a switch was flipped. From that point on, we looked good!
Well the only advertiser they have is ESPN, so yeah, not a big profit generator
Funny how much difference one play can make. I remember when the same kind of play cost CPR the game against Toledo in 2015.

But with a win. I'll take it.
