So Purdue's defense can look awful, the offense can look cowardly, and a spate of penalties can lead to a loss at home to Bowling Green, who had a lousy defense and just looked better all day. That same Purdue team can fall behind 21-0 on the road to the No. 2 team in America and somehow claw its way back into the game with a dominant second half, only to fall 24-21 after having the ball with a shot in Michigan State territory.
Yep, we can't figure out the Boilers, either.
As I mentioned in the earlier wrap, this feels like another frustrating , oh-so-close loss.
