Purdue (6-3, 8-4) vs #2 Michigan (9-0, 12-0) Game Week Thread

[MrNubbz]

there is a lot we still don't know yet. some "insiders" over on the michigan boards are claiming Mazi's concealed carry permit expired and he has since renewed it. i don't know what happened but i am not going to crucify the 20 year old kid. let's wait to find out more before we go that route maybe.

Why does a guy that size have to carry anyway.Unless you are in seedy areas of of inner cities then that's some stoopid shyt

[Mdot21]

He's very good, but IMO, Edwards is better, and Corum is a good RB made great by the OL. Edwards has never had to carry the whole workload, so that would be my only hesitation, but I think he's the best running back Michigan has had since Wheatley. Better than Biakabatuka, Perry or Hart

We’ve both been saying this for awhile. Edwards is a SPECIAL talent at RB. Like, I could see him going 1st rd. Corum is really good, but he’s not 1st rd good. Probably more like 2nd or 3rd.

[MrNubbz]

Maybe if Mazi gave someone a concussion or beat someone with it he'd have been suspended?

You mean a guy who played the following week? Same guy who followed MSU to the door dropping F-Bombs,ya know before U of M recording stopped.Then miraculously came back on when Spartans were swinging

[Mdot21]

Ok nvm. Sam Webb has confirmed the Corum report. Leak came from Corum’s agent to be. Corum apparently not happy. Looks like the guy he was gonna hire to be his agent may no longer get that job. 

Corum is done and off to the nfl.

I agree Edwards is,but dipshit day never kept 2 guys back on those runs,maddening.Did Edwards hurt his hand

Good point. Mazi is like 6’3/6’4, 330. He could lift a grown man up and snap em in half with one arm.

I won’t debate on who is better. Mostly because I don’t like debates that don’t have a correct answer. Both of those running backs are freaking awesome.

But I will say that Coram is going to be a really good back in the NFL because he has incredible balance, power, vision and breakaway speed

I am actually jealous. My team has not had a healthy running back virtually all season.  In the most important game of the year,  We gave 19 carries to a decent player but he was playing linebacker three weeks ago🥴

I just hope that the kids in the Michigan locker room are going through similar arguments like the posters here.




All the while, Purdue keeps practicing, preparing....

[MarqHusker]

Anybody going?  I may hang w some folks downtown Saturday. 

[WhiskeyM]

Except Aidan O'Connell.  He hasn't been with the team this week as he's taking care of personal matters related to his brothers death.

[ELA]

Maybe it’s your approach and consistent bad mouthing of a Michigan fan.

He's the one who said MSU had a thug culture.  I said that was in poor taste and asked him if he applied it to his own school

[Hawkinole]

Purdue has a lot more on the line because with a win they go to the Rose Bowl as League Champions for the first time in a LONG time.  With a loss they drop a lot.

The Rose Bowl gets to choose who plays from the Big Ten if a Big Ten team is in the FBS playoff, and it is widely thought they are leaning on selecting Penn State. It appears Michigan is poised to be in the playoff regardless whether they win. If the Rose Bowl selects Penn State, Ohio State goes to the Orange Bowl assuming Ohio State is not in the FBS playoff.
ESPN analytics favor Utah over USC. There is reason for Ohio State fans to be hopeful.

As good a college back as he is, he's even better built for the NFL. He's a better pass catching Alvin Kamara, or a bigger Darren Sproles

Ohio State has openly asked the Rose Bowl to choose PSU.  They have been there 3 times in 5 years and are not confident about ticket sales.
