According to Tempo-Free Analysis
Purdue’s ranked 5th in the Big Ten in offensive efficiency. If they want to make the final four, they’ll have to do better than that.
I don't mean to be a douche
But that crowd is fairly dead. And they’re leading the number 4 team in the country

SECOND TV TIMEOUT
15-6 Iowa. I am still confuzzled by this turn of events and awaiting the inevitable 6-minute scoring drought.

in the moral victory stakes, that half is a big fat WIN.
Slow-starting Boilermakers or not, it was nice to see Iowa actually shooting well for the most part. Cut out some of those turnovers (I think they have 10 already) and the lead would likely be greater. Wacky.

THE JOURNEY is doing all BXI teams this year?
I’m sure the Iowa segment will be thrilling.
(Unless it follows Tucker on a night out, of course.)
C'mon
Following Tucker around would be pure gold for the “thrilling” aspect of things, I can see it now:
While we were at Iowa, we had the opportunity to scream at the police, after blacking out on the Ped Mall. Then, we decided to see if we could pull the cop’s gun, and get them to drop the charges. That was met by a taser tot the torso, and a free night in the Hotel Johnson County, as the locals refer to it.

Fun story:
In 1987, Irvin taunted Penn State’s DBs for their shortness. He got crushed early in the game. Was a non-factor then on out. When asked why, he blamed the humidity.
Classic.

It's worse than Todd McShay's pseudo-thoughtfulness.
It’s worse than Tressel’s fashion adviser.
It’s worse than Ferentz’ press conferences.
Basically, it’s the worst grass field I have seen on TV this year.

I wish someone would ask the Citrus Bowl president why his field is such an unbelievable piece of shit.
There’s really no excuse for that, right?
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Meanwhile,
is Miami physically capable of playing this game?
Their O-line is fat, and their skill guys are skinny. So they either win with misdirection and an extra-half-step, or they get pounded into that crappy field. There is a big, big physical preparedness difference here.
Mr. Boh Knows ...
They're certainly not physically capable of playing Wisconsin's game.
They really need to create a turnover or two, and get Jacory Harris’ head in the game. That could easily be too much to ask.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
The shitty shitty turf is also negating their biggest advantage (speed).
If Harris is too hurt to continue, I’m pretty sure they’re fucked.
Also, I think it's humorous
watching Miami react to a team that — OMG! — has a tight end.
Kendricks looks like Ozzie Newsome against these guys. He either is open for 20, or flattening a corner or OLB. He’s their 2nd string TE.
What’s a tight end?, I guess.
Mr. Boh Knows ...
Man
I picked Miami to win. But this is damned fun.
Extra bonus for the team that has Bret Bielema.

Good halftime adjustment by MIami.
Just crash the backfield with 7 or 8 on downs 1 &2 and force 3 and long. Wisc can’t mix it up. They don’t have a three-step drop passing game.
Where is Graham?
Mr. Boh Knows ...
Here's my options:
a) Give Bielema some credit
b) Convince myself that Alvarez is secretly coach again

They had a pretty good passing game for most of the season.
Although Harris was prone to throwing lots of STANZIBALLS, too. I think he was near the top of the NCAA in interceptions.

Wow
Does this game show that maybe just maybe the Big Ten has ESSSSSS eeeeeeee CCCCCCC speed?
Which is hilarious.
Considering DA U produced Kellen Winslow, Jeremy Shockey, and Greg Olsen. They know a thing or three about productive tight ends.
Apparently they don’t know much about defending them, though.
Wisconsin's gonna be tough next year
like every year. Anyone know how many on their lines are returning?
Oh, fail.

In fairness, it seems relatively stable.

Mr. Boh Knows ...
Aside from the risk of injury
who does a shitty turf favor more, LSU or PSU? Normally I would say the BXI team since they’re usually the smashmouth team, but this incarnation of PSU is not that type of team, unless the OL has had a dramatic makeover in the bowl prep. LSU can be that type of team, but I think their main bruiser back (Charles Scott) is out with injury.
I'm not sure it would favor either

I'm worried, though, that LSU will realize that they need to blitz (instead of sending 3 as they apparently have done this year)

I'm just curious if Georgia Tech also abjures weightlifting.
Since we’re tougher than Wiscy and all.
I’m starting to think we’re just going to obliterate the GT o-line. If Miami is an above average ACC team, not having a bad night, GT will make the PSU line look like the 65 Packers’.

No worries.
The Badger defensive line will make up for the shortcomings of other parts of the defense.
Harris just gave it back
Miami’s oline has officially been bitchmade.
Wisconsin's just a much better team.
And I’m listening to a litany of Miami excuses. I must be hypersensitive.
Mr. Boh Knows ...
Harris on the sideline
Damn those guys are big and fast are you sure they are big ten and not ess ee see
Pretty much, yeah.
If Miami had as many turnovers as the Smelly Cocks did last year, the scoreline would probably look every bit as lopsided.
This game is at least competive, sort of.
The outback last year was almost a rape. Wisconsin’s victory bodes very well for Iowa though!

I'm just in shock at how inadequate Miami is physically.
Their linebacker, #50, is the only guy who seems to be strong enough to mix it up.
Miami is better on the edge, I think. But their dipshit QB can’t get it out there.

I think the whole "overrated" chant is dumb since it demeans your own accomplishment...
but if ever it was deserved, this would be the time.
I did
Purdue is sloppy and they miss Lewis Jackson. They have a problem with early bad starts. But they’re a very solid basketball team and I predict at least the Elite Eight for them. When they hit their jump shots, things get ugly fast.
As for Iowa, I couldn’t tell you anything but this: John Lickliter: surprisingly awesome. Including the “defense” on fastbreaks. I think I’m in love.

Yeah.
The sportswriter story of the game is that it was all about cliches — “a game of two halves,” “the team that makes the most jump shots wins,” “bad interior defense dooms teams,” etc. And that’s all true, but also really boring.
I pretty much guarantee that all any Iowa fan who watched the game will remember is John fucking Lickliter. He went from making a couple ridiculously awful plays (most notably getting faked into the next timezone on a fast break dunk) to making two of the most jaw-droppingly amazing plays of the game (the steal-“fast” break-layup sequence and the 3-pointer from Kingsbury range). It was utterly stupefying. Hours later I’m still in a mild state of shock and wondering if I really saw that I think I saw. It reminds me of David Palmer’s brief explosion last year, only about 100x more improbable, given Lickliter’s obvious physical and athletic shortcomings and the fact that it was against a top 5-ranked opponent that’s pretty much loaded with all-conference talent.
