Damn the torpedoes! It is time to sink the boat. This is a critical game for Purdue’s bowl chances and we’re without Jacob Theineman and Ja’Whaun Bentley are out for the first half. We need to hold our own before they come back after halftime.
Also, we’re honoring coach Tiller today and he loved to beat up on Minnesota.
Let’s win it for Joe.
