If the first half of Purdue’s season is any indication, the second half is going to be wild. Purdue could easily be 6-0 and ranked in the top 15 right now, if not top 10. It could also easily be 1-5 and searching for its first FBS win. The narrow losses to Penn State and Syracuse sting, but at least they are a combined 10-0. If Purdue doesn’t stop late two point conversions by Florida Atlantic and Maryland it is off to the crapshoot of overtime. At least those two improved Jeff Brohm’s close games ledger, as Purdue did what it needed to do in the end to close it out.
