No longer only the Irish National Champions, they are winning games on American soil this year. Everyone counted them out, and yet right now they sit at 5-5 with two chances left to gain bowl eligibility. The Wildcats have had a tumultuous year with the firing of Pat Fitzgerald. The next game for these Boilermakers is coming up Saturday against Northwestern. So, what are we to make of this Purdue team now? Who are they? Are they the team that just put up 49 points or are they the team that struggled to even put together 14 points in previous weeks? I guess, even at this late stage of the season, we just don’t know. Then, the Minnesota game happens and Purdue slaps the Gophers right in the face with 49 points. The offense was showing me nothing and the defense, while impressive along the defensive line, was failing to show me enough to make me believe that winning any games down the stretch was a foregone conclusion. I’ll admit, I basically had left Purdue football for dead.
