Look, most of us have had hangovers. Some are worse than others. Some last a long time. Some last just until you get those greasy XXX biscuits and gravy in you (or a Drew Brees if you would rather). Purdue’s hangover lasted a week. They just never got it going today after beating Ohio State in spectacular fashion last weekend.
The Purdue offense, which had been clicking on all cylinders, could only manage 13 points against a Michigan State team with a great run defense and a middle of the road passing defense. In the third quarter it looked like things might finally be turning around when Purdue went down the field with hardly any problem to make it a 13-16 game.
