Most of my opinions on teams are based on small amounts of game footage that I can remember watching over the past few years.. This is usually from flipping channels during commercial breaks of Michigan games** or watching a Big Ten team play a bad team because I picked them that week&#8230; Unfortunately since football didn&#8217;t exist last year it means most of my information for these reviews is 2-3 years old&#8230;. SO Purdue is a dirty team that has some talent but will blow games late in the 4th by committing between 2 and 5 dumbass personal foul and\/or roughing the kicker penalties that will turn 4th and 13s into 1st and 10s.  They will injure your team&#8217;s QB in the only year they have a chance to beat OSU and go to Indy and then not have an X-Ray machine within a reasonable proximity to the football stadium despite being a university with a well respected medical program.  In this case the analysis holds up&#8230;Purdue is still this school.  Jeff Brohm is still the coach.  They still commit dumb penalties.  They&#8217;ll still probably win an unexpected game (probably not OSU this year&#8230;) and blow the easy ones (they&#8217;re currently supposed to lose to Nebraska).  Maybe they have an X-Ray machine now? I don&#8217;t know, they don&#8217;t show that on TV during commercial breaks&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*<strong><em>You don&#8217;t HAVE to preview anything.  2 people read this blog&#8230; and anything actually interesting you&#8217;ve already told them 3 other times already anyway&#8230;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">**Which nowadays are long enough that I am basically watching 2 full games if they sync up correctly&#8230; so yeah<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maryland: Maryland, like Rutgers, is not a Big Ten team so I don&#8217;t HAVE* to preview them&#8230;.
