Masoli, however, spent the entire evening staring down Jeff Maehl, alas. <br /><br />After Toledo's big win over Colorado tonight, Purdue looks surprisingly scary. In order to win, Purdue will have to be fast enough to stop Duck players Masoli and James from breaking contain; same result if the Ducks hesitate in the rushing attack like last week.<br /><br />Purdue can win this.

Or maybe a Purdue win with a missed field goal? Who knows - but I feel that same spark of optimism I haven't seen in a few years.

Oregon will be much faster in the back 7 compared to Toledo and will really limit the number of big gains. Unless Purdue rushes the ball 50-55 times, I don't see them reaching 200 yards.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14777095156938736590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-91160339006126876572009-09-11T15:02:44.279-04:002009-09-11T15:02:44.279-04:00Is it me, or is that first baby duckling actually ...Is it me, or is that first baby duckling actually "goose-stepping"?J Moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925161304409415806noreply@blogger.com
