[Panthers_Blue]

The Panthers travel to Purdue.

Game is on BigTen Network Kickoff at 11:00am C


I Say EIU wins by 1 score

[Mountain Panther]

Purdue by at least two scores.

I just don't see a team like Eastern Illinois beating Purdue. EIU might make it interesting for a little bit but i see Purdue pulling away to the tune of 42-20 or so.

This game is getting ugly.

I wish FCS schools had replay so when we play FBS schools we could use it. Not to mention these Big Ten Refs are doing a number on EIU.

EIU's D stoped the Purdue runningback about 2 yards short of a first down, but it was one hell of a spot they gave them extra 3 yards to give them the first down and kept the drive going. This is nuts!

[Panthers_Blue]

Then they go onto score a touchdown where he clearly steps out of bounds at the 3yrd line.

they can use replay. you're at a big 10 school. we had quite a few plays reviewed against iowa state last year.

[Panthers_Blue]

Then why wouldn't they, there has been a number of plays that could have been reviewed

I hate people who complain about the refs casuing plays and stuff but..... this is insane

I just left the game (too much rain, game not even close) and the EIU QB is very scared to get hit. He is throwing way too early and looks bad. I hope this wasn't the plan of EIU to throw very quickly and hope for the best. Even if there are any close/poor calls by the refs (the Purdue radio guys are complaining about a few missed reviews in Purdue's favor) the game isn't close. Purdue had a TD called back due to a chop block the drive resulted in a FG.

There will be a highlight of an EIU D-back getting laid out by a Purdue WR that opened the way for the TE to score. They replayed the hit a dozen times in the stadium. That might have been a little uncalled for.

Start of the second half delayed by weather. Lightning in the area. I'm in my office on campus hoping my clothes dry before catching my ride home...
