How sad would it have been if we would have lost to the Directional School Michigan, a.k.a. Central Michigan Chippewas. I mean just the name sounds dumb, who would want to be called a Chippewa and how did it originate. All this really doesn’t matter; all that really matters is that, my boy, Kory Sheets juked the entire Central Michigan Secondary to score and win the game with a minute left. Kory Sheets showed the entire Ross-Ade Stadium what is was to be CLUTCH. Although, he was not having one of his greatest games he finished strongly and helped the Boilers beat the incredibly resilient Chippewa’s. When Purdue faced them in the 2007 Motor City Bowl the outcome was decided by a clutch field goal, which gave the go ahead points to Purdue. So, this win was kind of of the same for the boilers except instead of a boring field goal our runing back juked the entire secondary and scored.
Although, the entire offense needs to step up , for real, since when is it okay to almost lose to a MAC (Mid-American Conference) team. I mean come on IU loss to a MAC team (Ball State) but Purdue can never lose to a MAC team or our season is in deep trouble. Although, I will give Central Michigan some credit because they do have an amazing athlete in their quarterback, Dan LeFavour who rushed for over 100 yards and passed for over 250 yards, that’s just beast. Their defense on the other hand was not that good although they held us pretty well against the run, except for Kory’s game winner. We played like crap on offense and defense though, so we need to step it up this week for Notre Dame although both teams are in a slump as of late. All in all, the win was good for moral of the team after the heart wrenching double overtime loss against Oregon, but our team does need to step up and show that we do not fold over if something goes bad or we get behind and we need to actually play football in the second half of games!!!
