We run into these types of quarterbacks all the time. Kids who were never recruited by anyone significant. They become superstars when they play us.

[lineygoblue]

I'm hoping for one more "2nd half team" effort

[WingsFan]

I expect Saban to graciously tell us why Ohio State should not be in the playoffs, while waving his hands and looking directly into camera.

Maybe he is just selling Aflac...

[Tom W]

Saban is shameless.

[lineygoblue]

Nick is begging for a playoff spot.

So undignified.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Nick...you lost to a 4 loss LSU team that was boat raced by A&M...and barely beat an average Texas team with their backup QB...

STFU

[WingsFan]

Why is Saban allowed to lobby his team? What about Ryan Day??

[THE_WIZARD_]

What about Bob Greasy on behalf of Brian?

[THE_WIZARD_]

Nick should stick with selling Aflac.

[lineygoblue]

Why is Saban allowed to lobby his team? What about Rayn Day??

Because he's The Nick. And he's Alabama's Coach. And he's in the SEC.

That's why

[WingsFan]

Watch Bama get in ha ha

[THE_WIZARD_]

Because he's The Nick. And he's Alabama's Coach. And he's in the SEC.

That's why

Brohm's dictating the flow of the game so far. O'Donnell is having the game of his life. He's good, but not this good. Minter is playing some level of C2 zone and mixing it with man. Kalatt mentioned Minter had switched to man. Even then Purdue is hitting on tough 3rd down yardage - these are good throws and catches. Coverage is ok, a few missed tackles for YAC. Combined it's keeping drives alive and TOP favoring Purdue. McCarthy is OK, not great. Edwards has had a few holes but he's not Corum, He gets hit for 2-3y and doesn't turn that in to 4 or 5 like Corum does. That's big.

If the game plays out the way that every other M game in 2022 has played out, M will win. But Purdue is playing with nothing to lose and bringing the game to M. That's not to say M isn't playing with focus and intensity. It's that Purdue's defense has played well enough to keep M's offense off the field and out of rhythm. The long ball is what it is. 50/50. The physical nature of M's offense usually wears down the opponent's defense mid to late third and on. We'll see.

Game predictor still has M at 76% but it started out above 90% so, it's not yet decided despite what Wiz will lead you to believe.
