The Big Ten had big opportunities this weekend. Unfortunately for the confernce, they looked bad in a lot of big games. Ryan and I cover all of these in this edition of the Boiler Alert podcast.

Purdue of course was part of this big opportunity for the conference as Purdue was looking for their first power conference victory since FDR resided in the Oval Office. Someone might want to fact check me on that. It was a tough game, honestly a fun game, but ultimately Purdue fell in double overtime. It was a brutal way to lose having the victory in hand before the win was overturned via replay and then to lose the game just moments later.

Ryan and I discuss the defensive play call on 4th and 15 as well as the lack of aggression during Purdue’s time in the redzone. That might have done this team in and I hope lessons were learned. Join us for this episode of the podcast.
