While I agree on sentiment, I would take beating #19, #22, and #9 and then losing to Purdue.I am deeply unconvinced that PSU is as good as the line suggests.
That said, if they are, taking a reality-check beating going into the bye might not be the worst thing for this team psychologically.
We absolutely must beat Purdue.
Well... actually, now that I've typed it and am looking at it, I'm not sure anymore...
