5 years ago a not insignificant contingent of NFL fans thought that Belichick, not Tom Brady, was the reason for the Patriots’ success. Fast forward 5 years and Tom won a ring in his first year with a different team, Bill got fired by the Patriots, no other NFL team wanted him, and now he’s getting blown out at home by a crappy Clemson team. How times change…

Purdue kicks off to start the second half and not one but two dead ball penalties on Purdue on the kickoff; offsides and they kick it out of bounds.

Lol

Altmeyer is 14/15 for 306 and a TD in one half and change. I wonder how he would fare against a team like Indiana????

UM just shanks a 27 yard fg attempt. 

Couldn't happen to a better group. 

Edit: 27 yard not 17 but still..yeesh

That was me.  And I got it thrown in my face.

Watching Bill and UNC made a total @$$ of themselves is fun though!

Clemson passing against UNC in the 1st half:

22-24 for 326 and five touchdowns.

Well that makes sense because Clemson is a surefire CFP team. Right?

No. Even Finebaum thinks they suck. The only one left contrarian enough to support them may be Dakich.

PU is not all that good but they have greatly improved this year. As we know…shows what a good coach can do.
I’ve changed my pre-season thought that at PU would basically be a scrimmage. They will put up a fight.

They try hard. They are undisciplined to the mega-max.

Love how the Illinois player was pointing the wrong way on the fumble recovery.

I agree, rivalry games especially bring out some extra fight in the underdog. 

However, with our D, I feel like we match up much better with "offense heavy" teams such as Purdue.  Its the defense heavy teams that worry me more, even if they happen to have a sputtering offense.

Bret Beilema kind of sucks at managing his timeouts.

Ex-Hoosier McCulley with the UM touchdown. 1st of the year for him.

Too busy focusing on substitution trickery

Why call a timeout and have to stay in West Lafayette any longer

Illinois's offensive line has been highly unimpressive today. 

[TTT]

And Illinois wins…..the award for the preseason most overrated team.

(their high ranking was from last year’s success for second half of season and returning players with experience….how many past years before this era did IU have young players that were supposed to get better and a year later IU returned experience to struggle to win 5 games….they were never going to be good enough.

[TTT]

The lopsided IU win vs Illinois is a bad omen for IU vs Oregon game due to Illinois not being that good….It’s a good win for IU but not as good as it looked.
