How bad was OSU's defense if Purdue was able to handle nearly half a hundred on them?  MSU's defense is "fine", but they look really good against what I can only imagine is an emotionally spent Purdue team.

One of Purdue’s TDs was actually on an INT return and another was on a fake FG, so it was more like a third of a hundred that the defense gave up.  And honestly on the last couple TDs it seemed like OSU had quit.  

Still, OSU’s linebackers and safeties have looked rough.  Their defensive line is still really good and Okudah is ridiculous, but whenever I’ve watched them they’ve been mistake-prone and haven’t always played hard.

Given their common institutional criminal behaviors, isn’t it more accurate to call MSU, PSU’s ”little brother”?  

Doesn't that particularly nasty mental illness tend to run in families?

Between this horrid game and Northwestern/Wisconsin, I am dead certain we are by far the best team in the Big 10. It's not even close.

Why does every MSU game turn into a bizarre series of controversial and/or unorthodox plays? It's just trash ball week after week

Purdue's offense looks beyond dreadful right now, and some of that is credit to MSU but a ton of it seems to be that Purdue just hasn't played a competent defense in a bit.
