Boilermakers Lose to the Nittany Lions

It was a sad day to see Purdue fall to the record of two wins and three losses, but we played Penn St. so really there was not a chance in hell that we could have won. Ha Ha Ha. Some one told me before the game, “Come on Cody there are always miracles.” I was like, “with Purdue the Last Miracle that happened was winning the Motor City Bowl last year when we won by a Field Goal, against an okay team.” Then that person said, “Whatever, have some faith in your team.” And I said, “How can I have faith in a team that does not even have faith in itself.” With this comment my friend shut up and said nothing to me about miracles for the rest of the game. I agree that this is an extremely mean comment to make about my team but come on they can even play a full game of defense or offense for that matter. I just wish they would believe in themselves because then maybe we would actually win some games. But any way it was a slaughterfest and the Nittany Lions were doing all the killing. The game began as a battle to the death because both defenses were playing well and there were many three and outs for both offenses. But the slaughtering began in the second quarter when Penn St. quarter marched his team from their own twenty eight to the one yard line of Purdue to have it punched in by Penn’s running back Daryll Clark. After this touchdown Purdue just fell apart and could not get anything going until they scored in the fourth quarter with 5 min remaining and the score became 20 to 6 Penn St. leading and that was the final score. Purdue played like “crap” yet again and although they only lost by fourteen to very high ranking team; I believe deep down that if they had the mindset they could have beat Penn because Penn made some early mistakes that Purdue could have capitalized on and scored. Next week’s game against Minnesota should not be as heart breaking as the last two.
