Saturday night wasn’t pretty, but the Boilermakers gave us some positives. That’s why the loss hurts so badly.
Five total turnovers and seven fumbles (even with some of them being recovered). Big ol’ yikes. The first questions in the post-game presser were naturally going to be about the miscues against The Cuse.
First-year head coach Ryan Walters wasn’t afraid to take responsibility, stating “this starts with me” and “it’s disappointing, I feel like I failed them this week.”
As Drew and I were talking in the latest edition of Boiler Up Down South, a Purdue team that had four turnovers in the first half still looked sprightly when things were going according to plan offensively, and even after yet another mistake in a missed extra point, was still within striking distance.
