Minnesota is good.

[bcspsu]

Illinois is scary good!

This is fun!

What’s sad is that one of those teams actually is going to get a chance to lose the Big 10 Championship game.

the big ten loves tradition…

 

[LandoComando]

They flat lined today. Good luck to anyone trying to predict the West. That whole division is garbage

Agreed--there isn't a decent team in the west

 

[marshall23]

I'll take 15 bad wins this year.

Winning isn't good enough...."We deserve better."

 

[YYZ86]

The Purdue win is looking a little better today......

Winning isn't good enough...."We deserve better."

That is correct.

 

[marshall23]

That is correct.

Purdue sucks too......

 

[marshall23]

"WE should be better than 5-0"

 

[marshall23]

The weather has never been a factor in Madden.

 

[marshall23]

Real good. Scary.

How did PSU beat the team that beat Minny? Good coaching?

 

[bvillebaron]

Michigan State beat Akron & Western Michigan which is meaningless. They hung in with #18 Washington then got beat by Minnesota.

Minnesota beat 3 very weak teams but their win over Michigan State seems impressive.

PSU beat 2-2 Purdue that needed a late fumble recovery to beat Florida Atlantic. They beat Auburn who barely beat San Jose who barely beat Portland. Auburn needed a dumb fumble (no contact) to beat Missouri. PSU was beating CMU 21-14 at half. Oklahoma Stat was beating CMU 44-15 at half.

IMO PSU has yet to beat a good team. We know that PSU has lots of young talent/speed but we have no idea how they'll hold up against the top teams.

And who has Michigan beaten?

 

[bvillebaron]

I've been watching Minny VERY closely and they are STRONG AF! Tanner Morgan is a top QB and Ibrahim is a HORSE. Their back up RB is even good. Their TE is a stud and ball hawk. The Minny D is ranked top in the country or close to it. They have annihilated the spread the past two weeks. Fleck is a man on a mission. They are far and away the second best team we play this year. If the White out game was today, I predict the spread would be PSU -4 or -5. And I would be worried. I'm curious what others would think. Minny is the real deal 4 sho. Imagine if they still had their BEST wide receiver?!!? Scary.

Uh Purdue says hold my beer on the road no less.

 

[marshall23]

That is correct.

NNNNNCAC, "In a tireless search for a coach as knowledgeable as we are collectively and who wants to win as much as we do."

 

[bdgan]

And who has Michigan beaten?

Iowa and Maryland

 

[Parkerdam555]

Ibrahim didn't play.

 

[NittanyChris]

Iowa and Maryland

Neither is any good.

 

[bvillebaron]

Surprised they aren't ranked No. 1 with that resume.

 

[ivan brunetti]

Neither is any good.

Maryland is okay. Better than Auburn or Purdue.

 

[NittanyChris]

Maryland is okay. Better than Auburn or Purdue.

Opening point spread for Purdue at Maryland this weekend is Purdue +4. I’ll take Purdue straight up in that game.

 

[Parkerdam555]

Maryland is okay. Better than Auburn or Purdue.

Auburn yes, Purdue no.

 

[Parkerdam555]

Me too.

 

[voltz99]

Maryland is okay. Better than Auburn or Purdue.

Unless PSU beats them and then they are not that good either.

 

[ivan brunetti]

Auburn yes, Purdue no.

Well, we will find out on Saturday.

 

[fastlax16]

Unless PSU beats them and then they are not that good either.

everyone we beat always sucks, unless they’re good… and then it’s a fluke.

 

[lazydave841]

We got Michigan next. Beat them. They are good. End of conversation. Hello playoff talk.

Yes, we resemble that. Garbage that is. I can only hope that it was just an off day. Hopefully the bye week will give the program time to figure things out.

You need Ibrahim back honestly. Too many mistakes (missed 28 yard FG, dropped TD, etc) to overcome any team without your best player. Good luck aside for your game against us.

Good points, but still, If we can't make Purdue pay for loading the box, we have bigger issues. Thanks for the well wishes! Our program is going to need them.

You mean we don't have to be afraid?

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Maryland is okay. Better than Auburn or Purdue.

I think Purdue is a solid team. I think they win the West.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Me too.

Same.

 

[LandoComando]

I think Purdue is a solid team. I think they win the West.

Did you watch them play Syracuse or FAU?

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Did you watch them play Syracuse or FAU?

Yes, without O'Connel or Charlie Davies they struggle. With them healthy they are solid. Syracuse is a decent team. 5-0.

 

[LandoComando]

O'Connell played against Syracuse. And, no, Syracuse isn't a decent team. They haven't played anyone. Shrader is one of the worst P5 QBs I've seen. Syracuse barely beat UVa. Their next 3 are NCSU, Clemson and ND. Any chance they're better than 6-2 after that? Or would you say 5-3 is likely? They actually could lose their next 6 and no one would be mildly surprised.

 

[Parkerdam555]

Did you watch them play Syracuse or FAU?

I watched them get literally robbed in Syracuse.

 

[bdgan]

I watched them get literally robbed in Syracuse.

Purdue was on the wrong end of 3 or 4 bad calls in the first half at Syracuse but they pissed the game away on their own in the second half.

 

[LandoComando]

I watched them get literally robbed in Syracuse.

They cost themselves the game

 

[STPGopherfan]

You mean we don't have to be afraid?

Right now, I'd say no. Not that you were in the first place, but still no.

 

[LandoComando]

Minnesota lost their top WR for the year IMO--they need Ibrahim back or they have no shot--it won't be easy to win many games even in the west.

 

[voltz99]

We got Michigan next. Beat them. They are good. End of conversation. Hello playoff talk.

No. It won't be the end. The carrot will then be moved to OSU.

 

[LandoComando]

No. It won't be the end. The carrot will then be moved to OSU.

If they beat Michigan and are competitive against Ohio State even in a losing effort there really shouldn't be any complaints as long as they don't choke in one of the other games.
