It is Purdue’s by week. I had hoped the Boilers would roll in at 4-1 with a postseason bid all but assured. Getting four wins in the first five seemed very realistic with the Minnesota game being the hinge game for that goal. Now that the first five are complete, we see a very frustrating team.
The defense has showed up. It has given up less than 30 points in all five games and 21 or less in four of them. It was dominant for three quarters against what has turned out to be a very good Oregon State team.
