Week 5 News & Games

Watching these other games, the value of kickers and punters just cannot be overstated. So many games hinge on a made 45 yard field goal and a punt inside the 20. We are really fortunate with ours.
Yep, don’t know what PSU’s place kicker is like, but hope weather doesn’t serve to diminish an advantage I’m going to assume we have in this area.

Nebraska and Purdue seting football back 40 years. The good news is we didn't get the flag happy refs doing their game.
I seem to recall Michigan beating Purdue something like 5-3 at home in a rainstorm ~ 30 years ago. Also something like 9-3 in the same decade.

Eyewateringly awful stuff.

EDIT: Ah, here we go. 5-0 in '95 on a day that offered "snow, rain and a wind-chill factor that reached eight degrees below zero."

Hey Coach Ruhle, only your players can get stupid, sloppy penalties.
