Third down play, Purdue makes a stop and will get the ball back down 4. Well after rhe whistle, Purdue DT slings RB to the ground. Personal foul gives NW a first down, and they run the clock out.

Yikes, but that wouldn't be the first time they did something stupid to cause a penalty. Seems like there were a lot of stupid penalties that Purdue was doing this game

Well Brohm wouldn't have made it in SEC without stud D coordinator. We would have been 8-4, 7-5 at be best.

That's not true. This team does not play dirty. That's a boneheaded play on Neal, not any coaching staff/regime.

Brohm is a great coach, and he's working miracles up here.

They might not play dirty but they certainly don’t seem to care about penalties. Seemed like there were a ton of Purdue penalties tonight. A couple repeats of illegal men down the field

Purdue fans are lighting up twitter bashing the refs

First heartache of the season

God I missed College football!

We were fortunate Barnett didn't get whistled for the same kind of play vs USCjr back in 2014. Neal was definitely at fault there. Really bad play on his part to put the game on the officials .

This is why an up and comer with "head coaching experience" is overrated, too small of a sample size to say they are any better than a coordinator.

I’d still prefer some experience to none in most cases but of course it depends on the people. I think if Scott Frost really loved UT and wanted to come here the fan base would’ve preferred him over Pruitt. I do agree that with a small sample size I wouldn’t say you are talking a huge gap but all coordinators are 50/50 because you have nothing. Coordinators turned coaches for 1 year maybe go up or down around 5% and 2 years maybe around 10% but still a crap shoot. The problem is we just chose the wrong people. The only “big” up and comer was Kiffin and he wasn’t as big then as when he left Bama. He was just a perfect storm as no one thought Carroll would be gone from USC so quickly. Maybe he would’ve worked out but his history at USC suggests not. Dooley was the worst hire in the history of 1A football as there was absolutely nothing on his resume to suggest he could do the job other than his last name. Butch had 6 seasons as a head coach with mild success so really we knew what he was. I know a lot of people will say they wanted Pruitt all along at this point but I still say if Nebraska was set for a long time and Frost said he wanted to come here he would’ve been the top choice for most. He’s no guarantee either.

I was watching also and thought it should have been a penalty. I was surprised it was called though. There was no need to throw him like that. The RB also flopped a little and got the call.

Bonehead play by Neal, would not want to be him today. Good fun game and Purdue's defense dominated in the 2nd half......Keep an eye out for #4 Rondell Moore, this kid is gonna be special!

There was a flop, but like Kirk said, 10/10 refs would call that.

Apparently Neal has a bit a reputation. He got more than his fair share of personal fouls last year. He, more than anyone, should have known to let up.

I thought it was a good game overall. those three first half Purdue turnovers are the difference imo. And each one of those were avoidable.
