Should Purdue have not scored when up 24-23, they have the ball on the 1, MD out of time outs with 1:29 to go, it is 3rd down and PU scores. They could have taken a knee and run the clock down to around :45 seconds, used one of their own TO’s and decide to score or make MD go 99. I think I would have tried to score on 4 th down
Yeah, Purdue got lucky in the end. I would have milked the clock and then tried to punch it in on 4th down. Educate me, I had to look away, where did Maryland get the ball after the last Purdue touchdown?

They won. So it's tough to say they were wrong. I think you HAVE to try to score on 3rd down, but know hell is coming.
It took a blown assignment to keep Maryland from tying the game with the two-point conversion. If Purdue had lost, I would have filed that under “Epic Meltdowns.”

OSU-MSU and Auburn-Georgia. I’m not holding my breath waiting for an upset.

MD went 84 yards in 5 or 6 plays to get within 2. What

That’s the conundrum. You would try to score on 3rd, I would have milked 40 more off the clock… don’t think either decision is wrong… btw, the MD an is legit

Tom’s Subject Line is non-specific enough to allow for discussion of the MLB playoffs. Tampa Bay 0-0 Cleveland, bottom of 12th, ESPN2, an elimination game for TB. #subjectlinesmatter.

Fake punt by Auburn vs. Georgia. Failed. Coach wants to get fired.

Auburn getting out of the 1st quarter with a tie. I'm seriously shocked. Figured after 2 weeks of duds, Kirby's boys would be sharper.

Same situation as Ravens vs Bill's. I'd have also kicked on 4th down. You have to maximize pressure. Seeing as how they moved 84 yards, they played to their 8 pt lead. You made them move efficiently, score, and complete a 2 just to tie. They went 2/3.

Top of 13th inning. Still scoreless. 7 total hits in game.

For future notice… the right guard and tackle for MD are really good…. At holding!

Agree…. Take the lead and put something on the Bills. Harbaugh told his defense that he had no faith in them making a stop!

Lol, they showed something saying that MSU had six players out on D, and not three seconds later it’s a pick-six for MSU, now 7-7.

To the 14th inning, no score. Great drama, wow.

Big hold by #34 on that last run. Then a Sparty defender led with his helmet and took the brunt of the blow vs Henderson. Kid looks knocked out to me. Prayers he's ok. True freshman.

I’ll be at a cousin’s birthday party. My cousins all live in DMV, pretty much, very nice to have them near me. Enjoy your evenings.

Those two teams score about as much as I did in college!

Stole my line…I hadn’t thought of it but that’s absolutely me, pathetic.

They call holding on Sparty for every good run. Geez. They replay it and it's not even noticeable. Herby acting like the OSU LB was battling caused it. 🤮

Futz might be the next Big Ten coach to
go.

Franklin to the Northern Suburbs. If he can afford a house.

Franklin would like the $800 MM stadium being planned there. FACILITIES. o_O
