Purdue has sat for 7 days as the rest of the Big Ten has played. That was seven days to sit and stew over a loss at Indiana where a frenetic comeback nearly stole a win, but instead raised questions of, "Where was that effort all game?" the Hoosiers are now on the doorstep of winning the conference (something that was a strong possibility for Purdue earlier this year), while Purdue is perched precariously in 8th place. Sure, it is unlikely the Boilers will finish there. Ohio State and Michigan can still fall backwards and a top 4 finish for Purdue is very possible, but as we discussed on the podcast last night, it feels like a disappointment even at 21-7.
