Bluemonster's Fearless 2017 Season Prediction
Soooo, my Fearless 2017 Season Prediction, made long before toe hit leather in Texas has some challenges. I'm still married to this pre-season prediction. Yet, obviously the offense has not been nearly as productive as my models predicted. Not even close. On the other side the defense has slightly exceeded expectations. On the whole I still think the season W/L record is on target, but the margins are a little tighter.
Purdue Week Addendum

Purdue Week Addendum
- I actually think this is a modest rebound week for the offense.
- The running game will be productive as the offensive line has finally, actually learned their blocking assignments.
- Harbaugh/Drevno rides Isaac (what bruised ribs?) Evans and Higdon in an effective running game to keep the "High Flying" Purdue passing offense off the field.
- I think Don's Defense LIVES for weeks like this.
- For Gary and Hurst its time to release the hounds.
- Bush will be a "human projectile" into the Purdue backfield.
- They will stuff the running game (obviously)
- They will keep QB Blough in short three step drops or running for his life.
- I think Purdue has two trick plays, one of them works, beating a corner deep
- I expect that the UM defense scores 1 TD.
- A Win is a WIN: As of today this game looks more like an uncomfortably tight first-half and pulling away in the second-half for a clear win: UM 31 - PU 20.
