Purdue didn't use any of its advantages of quickness by putting Bolden, Edison and Bush in one-on-one situations, but instead seemed stubborn and bull-headed to the point of never checking out of obvious bad play calls OR making any adjustments at half time that might have yielded results."<br /><br />I'll go ahead and cut and paste this into next week's post game summary.CaryNW87https://www.blogger.com/profile/09211922211535914178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-67196078626447444142011-11-20T23:37:33.528-05:002011-11-20T23:37:33.528-05:00Burke's response:

Plus, a gameplan designed around dink and dunk offense might suit 19, but is not ideal with Marve at QB. TerBush needs plays designed to get the ball out of his hands quickly because his reads are slow and his delivery is slower...but Nord seems to call the same plays for both QBs.<br /><br />Neither QB is complete, I won't argue there. But one has had ample time to show improvement while other has been given less than 20% of the offensive downs.boilerdowdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356708955038289503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-47852499799709086912011-11-20T13:36:38.696-05:002011-11-20T13:36:38.696-05:00A Rhianna song made me think of Kevin Sumlin: &quo...A Rhianna song made me think of Kevin Sumlin: "I fell in love (with Sumlin) in a Hope-less place!"<br />So, Sumlin looks to be taking Houston to a BCS game, and Burke is still clinging to Hope. If Sumlin finishes the year undefeated, scores of schools will be lining up to throw money at him.

Marve had a horrible game, finishing 7/18 for 95 yards and 2 picks. Terbush went 10/16 for 86 and a TD, and led the other TD drive for Purdue as well. Marve has more raw talent, but his decision making is atrocious, and I don't understand how you guys back him. Season stats also don't lie either. Marve has a 5.55 yards per attempt to Terbush's 6.75. TD/Int for Marve is 3/5 while its 11/6 for Terbush. Completion percentage? You better believe it...54.2% for Marve, 61.5 for Terbush. I know you all want to see Marve get to play a whole game, but I want to see entire games without him.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16461744264847564477noreply@blogger.com
