******Iowa vs Purdue Game Thread******

Podalak just said on the radio the crowd is so quiet you can hear Petras from the press box calling out the cadence
Anyone catch the Thurs nite nfl game? I had no idea the Texan fans were so lame - I honestly thought it was an Eagles home game…

Reminded me of the Ol’ Kinnick North games in Minnesota…😎
 
Frankly, I'm shocked Purdue is running the ball this much when they have the wind at their back. It burns the clock and plays into our defensive strength.
Afraid of the turnovers by this vaunted secondary.... ;)

Honestly though it may speak to a couple things.

Jones is not 100%, so it's not like they can just keep throwing him the ball on every play unless they really wanna get him killed.

There is an apparent lack of trust in the other PU receivers given the sheer lack of targets. Just look at Tracy for example.

Also, as long as Purdue can gash us for 4,5,6 etc yds on 1st and 2nd down in the run, they will continue to try to lean on that to establish tendencies or at the very least keep the chains moving.

That's why it was so important not to let Purdue get too comfortable being able to run the ball in spots.

Certain fanbases travel very well (Packers for example).

And when you get a bad team matched up, then you get what amounts to a visiting team invasion.
