Date and Time: September 10 @ 4PM ET
Top 3 Purdue Players to Watch:
1) QB O'Connell (#16): 356 yards passing
2) WR Jones (#15): 153 yards receiving
3) S Jefferson (#17): 5 tackles, 1 Pick 6
Penn State vs Purdue: After trailing 21-10 at halftime, Purdue led 24-21 going into the 4th quarter. Penn State scored the game winning TD with less than a minute to go in the game to escape with a 35-31 victory.
I didn't watch the Purdue game, but looking at their stats it appears that they really like to pass the ball. Their QB had 58 pass attempts against PSU. Their leading rusher (Doerue #22) only had 57 yards, but he averaged 3.8 YPC on 15 carries, and scored 2 TD's. Their other two TD's were a receiving TD by Jones and the pick 6 by Jefferson.
Penn State's success on offense also came mostly through the air. Their QB had 282 passing yards and 4 TD's. They tried to run the ball, but their top 4 rushers had 31 yards, 30 yards, 22 yards, and 11 yards for a combined 1 TD.
My prediction: Purdue 45 ISU 7
I think their offense will eventually start to over power us; and I don't think our offense will be able to keep our defense off of the field.
Question: Does anyone know how much ISU is getting paid for this game?
