We’re still stinging from Saturday night. To make a bowl game Purdue now must win at least one game away from home, and both Iowa and Northwestern look like they are starting to come around and play some good football. It is entirely possible Purdue finishes 5-7 this year and is a play or two away from 7-5, much like the 2009 season under Danny Hope. Purdue probably has a better shot against Northwestern, but it means very little unless we can beat a moribund Illinois team at home.
Around the league several teams took pretty severe hits.
