Fumble Forgettable for Purdue Coach

Talk to any Boilermaker and they'll blame the demise of the program on Orton's fumble in 2004. I fondly recall the Gameday atmosphere, Orton for Heisman candidacy, and Orange Bowl talk in West Lafayette that weekend. It all came tumbling down with a fumble forced by Robert Brooks, TD return by Steve Starks, missed PAT by UW to keep Purdue in the game, and a wide right Ben Jones FG to seal the deal for Bucky. The red ghosts are ready to return, and we may leave with the drum this time around.

With the way the badgers are playing this year I see no way this game is close. Our defense is shutting people down and our offense is the highest scoring team in the big ten. Pj beats his own drum and runs wild for 238 yards,3 tds. Stocco gets it done another week with a couple of td passes along with his usual 70% completion rate. Purdue finds that fumbling against the badgers is the norm not the wild and wacky. Badgers win 40-17.
