Darrell Hazell is currently 5-31 as Purdue head coach. He is 1-17 against Big Ten opponents, 2-31 against non-FCS teams, 4-14 at home, and 0-9 at home against the Big Ten. The last coach to start this poorly at Purdue is NO ONE. Even Elmer Burnham started 1-8 in 1942 and went 9-0 in 1943, and there was a damn World War going on too!
But enough of that rant. The point of this post is to show that in almost all 31 losses, there was a critical moment where something went wrong and everything simply snowballed. It may have come early and Purdue never recovered.
