Did you catch a whiff of Purdue’s 32-29 loss at Syracuse on Saturday?
It was noxious and then some.
After scoring a touchdown to take the lead with 51 seconds left, the self-approving Boilermakers taunted their way to having to kick off from their own 10-yard line; it set up Syracuse’s offense at midfield. Then, on third-and-10, the Boilers were flagged for defensive holding. Several ticks later, again on third-and-10, it was pass interference. Imploding spectacularly, the Boilers gave up an inevitable touchdown with seven seconds left, then committed multiple personal fouls before the extra point because, hey, they hadn’t yet humiliated themselves to their satisfaction.
