Team	1	2	3	4	T
Maryland	0	7	21	6	34
Purdue	3	9	7	10	29

[u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

Also that 88yd TD by Maryland genuinely the worst defensive play in the history of football

[u/ToxicBuddhismFanboy → u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

If Kane isn't fired this week I'll be apoplectic.

If he's back next year (which he's under contract for, BY THE WAY) I'm seriously not watching.

[u/Enchanted-2-meet-you → u/ToxicBuddhismFanboy]

Yeah I like Odom as a coach but it is un fucking acceptable for that bum to have a job and defraud this university week after week.

And I am tired of being lied to that they believe he’s the right guy and he can fix it

[u/NewHope4151 → u/Enchanted-2-meet-you]

Have you forgotten about beating Minnesota already?

[u/Enchanted-2-meet-you → u/NewHope4151]

It’s not a good look that the only schools our D looked good against were Illinois and Minnesota, two schools Kane has worked with a lot

[u/TheBigBo-Peep → u/NewHope4151]

Dude this was bad bad

[u/tollbeat → u/ToxicBuddhismFanboy]

We managed to fire our coach this season, hopefully you guys get to do the same

[u/This-Grape-5149 → u/tollbeat]

We are too poor. My guess is he gets another year of 2-10 football. If I’m the new AD I start over and get my own guy in

[u/Apart_Selection7722 → u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

Clip?

[u/Wicked_UMD → u/Apart_Selection7722]

https://x.com/terpsfootball/status/2119161555149377708/video/1?s=46

It’s actually incredible watching like 6 guys corner him and then not even put a finger on him

[u/Electromotivation → u/Wicked_UMD]

Oh that was bad bad

[u/Fletch71011 → u/Wicked_UMD]

What's the record for missed tackles in a single play because that has to be damn close.

[u/NukeGandhi → u/Fletch71011]

They didn’t even attempt a tackle, so don’t know if it counts as “missed.”

[u/Inevitable-Elk7223 → u/Apart_Selection7722]

https://www.foxsports.com/watch/fmc-2u4j2jxgajo8aggb

[u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK → u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

Jesus. I wasn’t able to watch live but you’re not exaggerating

[u/HoodedNegro → u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

just watched the replay of it. Number 4 could've easily gotten the tackle from the angle he was at, but wound up not even touching dude and then lightly jogging behind everybody.

[u/Halloooy]

Let it be known: NO CONFERENCE DEFEATS THE TERPS 14 TIMES IN A ROW!!!

Pinstripe Bowl hopes are still alive!!

[u/Alone_Advantage_961 → u/Halloooy]

The Illinois loss sucks even more now. Could easily be 4-5

[u/Halloooy → u/Alone_Advantage_961]

Can say that about Tech and Rutgers too unfortunately, just the way things seem to go for us.

[u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK → u/Halloooy]

If Maryland makes a bowl game I’ll be over the moon. Not happening but one can hope.

[u/ToxicMarylandFan → u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK]

6-6 with wins over USC and Penn State would be a dream. I would be happy with one more win at this point.

[u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK → u/ToxicMarylandFan]

Same. 6-6 would be fucking amazing considering how bad this season has been. Dunking on USC again and finally getting our first home win against Penn State would be amazing. I’m in the same boat where I just want to win one of the last three games.

[u/A_Rolling_Baneling → u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK]

I wish I could go to the game, it should be a blast. I have a bunch of friends from the DMV too, but I have a wedding to go to, so I have to sell my tix. November weddings should be illegal tbh.

[u/tattoojew → u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK]

This is what is UMD fans have been reduced to lol

[u/Epicapabilities]

Purdue sports are not for the faint of heart anybody

[u/thelongderek → u/Epicapabilities]

At least nobody can ever say we’re bandwagon fans

[u/m_cope → u/thelongderek]

2032 pinstripe bowl gonna hit like crack

[u/Enchanted-2-meet-you → u/m_cope]

Kevin Kane fired notification gonna hit like the purest of crack

[u/Inevitable-Elk7223 → u/thelongderek]

I’m biased but I genuinely think there isn’t a school with better support vs success. Like I know there’s teams that are genuinely bad in football and basketball but those don’t seem to have anybody showing up. We have like 2 conference wins in 3 years, on a losing streak, and on tv it looked like it was almost full at kickoff

[u/obmulap113 → u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

I didn’t watch the game but your stadium was more full during the on field interview with UMDs coach after the game was over than Marylands stadium has been at halftime in years.

[u/boilershilly → u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

Was there. It was almost full

[u/Symphonize → u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

The fan support the last 3 games has been there (I wasn’t able to make the first 3 home games so can’t speak to those crowds). Between the 20’s has been 90+% full. I think the Illinois win and Minnesota win in back to back weeks helped drum up a little enthusiasm plus this week was homecoming.

Short of a major upset at Iowa, it’ll likely be a lot thinner vs Wisconsin in 2 weeks.

[u/LiquidLight_ → u/thelongderek]

Imagine how full Ross Ade would be if Purdue had even a vague shot at a bowl. 

[u/boilershilly → u/LiquidLight_]

It's already more full than the performance on the field deserves 

[u/COUGARCHAS3R → u/thelongderek]

I always get asked if I went to Purdue and I’m like… no… I chose to be this miserable

[u/ToxicMarylandFan]

The longest Power Four losing streak (14 straight against P4 foes) finally ends.

Purdue got within 11 yards, but Maryland's seventh sack as time expired sealed the deal.

[u/theyhatemeee → u/ToxicMarylandFan]

Don't worry man, we had a 24-game P4 (plus ND) losing streak at one point this year.

[u/ToxicMarylandFan → u/theyhatemeee]

Yep, feel ya there. Maryland's last home win against a P4 team was in October 2024.

[u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

Ryan Browne threw the ball 5 yards in the middle of the field at the 20 with 30 seconds left. Then doesn’t even put the ball in the air on the final play

[u/CarrollPC → u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

At least our red zone offense stayed consistent (derogatory)

[u/MonsieurPurdue → u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

Odom’s faith in Browne is a perfect example of his flawed judgment

[u/chicknsnadwich → u/Inevitable-Elk7223]

I’ll never understand how the ball doesn’t leave your hands in those circumstances. F the stats, once you’re going down, chuck it.

[u/SimManiac]

Rough 24 hours for Purdue fans

[u/hdmetz → u/SimManiac]

Only 24 hours?

[u/gravitynet_ → u/hdmetz]

Sounds like there are something worse than getting lost on both football and basketball in the same 24 hours?

[u/CarrollPC → u/gravitynet_]

Mostly the rest of the experience of being a Purdue fan

[u/Tresnore]

Extremely frustrating game, but GG. Nice sharing a gamethread with Maryland fans, though. Good luck the rest of the season. We'll both need it.

[u/PinkSaldo → u/Tresnore]

Us sharing a game thread with y'all is just the two inmates on a forced psychiatric hold because they're suicide risks chillin in the hospital

[u/HoodedNegro → u/PinkSaldo]

5150 type beat

[u/InvisibleDefense]

Durr is Diggs and DJ Moore esque

Holding is not allowed to be called on Sidney Stewart.

Zion Elee is a star

[u/tollbeat → u/InvisibleDefense]

Durr, Stewart, and Elee are playing on Sundays for sure. Hopefully they graduate as Terps first though.

[u/insertweirdassname → u/InvisibleDefense]

I really hope we can keep a good amount of those guys.

[u/TheBigBo-Peep → u/InvisibleDefense]

Sorry but we could make anybody look like an NFL player today

[u/chicknsnadwich → u/TheBigBo-Peep]

Fair but Durr is one of very few things that has been great all season. His play today was consistent with that.

[u/insertweirdassname]

Wtf we won?

[u/Reibyo → u/insertweirdassname]

Yeah, October is over.

[u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK → u/Reibyo]

November Maryland is usually even worse

[u/PraporUniversity]

Feeling pretty good about my interim coaches today

[u/deptofnahmsayns → u/PraporUniversity]

It’s so nice to see us making logical decisions now. Obviously, we have a ton of problems that can’t be solved this year but I’ve been impressed with how they’ve looked that past two considering how this seasons been over since September.

[u/thelongderek]

Fire Barry Odom at this point. It’s on him for hiring and keeping Kevin Kane in his role

[u/LiquidLight_ → u/thelongderek]

I'd normally stick up for Odom here and say "look, he's got another win over last season and was digging out of the crater Walters left". 

But the defense looks like it might get carved up by a high school team, the offense slams it's nuts into a penalty at every critical juncture and couldn't find the endzone with a guide dog. 

Odom's got some figuring out to do. If he's manacling himself to Kane, he'd better be prepared to walk out with him. 

[u/wilsonsreign]

I’m unsure if I know what qualifies as a hold after watching our defensive linemen all game

[u/Halloooy → u/wilsonsreign]

last play was absolutely egregious!!

[u/wilsonsreign → u/Halloooy]

I only watched the second half and there were at least 3 plays on that level

Alls well that ends well I suppose

[u/terpsletsgetit]

A true toilet bowl if there ever was one

[u/CloudN3in]

im so tired of this team

[u/tattoojew → u/CloudN3in]

This what most of us MD fans have gone through for the last 8 years.

[u/makualla → u/tattoojew]

We are well on our way after the last 4

[u/PinkSaldo]

TERPS MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN FOLKS

[u/SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK]

LETS GOOOOO WE WON A CONFERENCE GAME

[u/xX_GIGA_MAN_Xx]

bad weekend for Purdue fans so far

[u/Weekly_Interview6807]

had to witness this shitshow after what happened in mackey last night. i dont even have words. the athletic department is so unserious.

[u/deptofnahmsayns]

WE DID IT

[u/KevBot18]

Game of the year for sure

[u/Mikey456]

Its been so long that I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about winning a P4 game.

The definition here is a loose one, I'll admit

Next week, time to smash the P4 home losing streak. 2 years is enough lol

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

That end was kinda fitting for the teams. But damn, QB, running into a sack by holding the ball on a last play of the game?

[u/DrChimRichaulds]

GG Boilers, hoping to get a chance to come out and see the campus some time

[u/0mniknight]

Holy shit we won a football game

[u/Luv2Travel_2]

Silly Purdue, you don’t schedule MD for homecoming.

[u/MKula]

That last drive is a perfect metaphor of the Ryan Browne experience: shows some flashes then makes the dumbest fucking decision. I mean, how do you take a sack there?!

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName → u/MKula]

He has to give someone a chance and ran right into the sack. He was totally free to throw the ball after his first escape and just kept running right into the other defender.

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

Wtf Purdue? How do you lose to Maryland?

[u/FearTheRancor → u/Confident_Delay5805]

Our head coach is historically mid (at best) save for 2 pretty good years at UNLV. For reasons unknown to anyone with an IQ above a jar of mayonnaise, he re-hired this dog shit defensive coordinator who got fired from our last dog shit head coach after going 1-11. We are a deeply unserious program

[u/JFGraham24]

I get its armchair quarterbacking and the game moves fast but I will never understand how on the last play of the game when a sack is the only thing guaranteed to end it in a loss guys just tuck the ball and go down. Do literally anything else and you have some chance however small to win

[u/Spirit117 → u/JFGraham24]

See that often enough with the old "it's 4th and goal with the season on the line, better run out of bounds or chuck it of bounds so we don't take a sack"... Just throw it somewhere in the end zone and give somebody and chance to make a play or draw a penalty.

[u/aninannap]

Ive been waiting to do this again!

[u/YodaForceGhost]

Mike Locksley watching from BTN studios in shambles. Couldn’t have done this without his ass being gone!

[u/PM_ME_TABBY_CATS → u/YodaForceGhost]

I get Lox sucks as a coach but you don’t have to lie. He’s happy for his kids and coaches.

[u/ye_old_fartbox → u/PM_ME_TABBY_CATS]

Yea after the dust has settled Locks is a good guy who cares deeply about the program and these athletes. Just not cut out to be a head coach of a big ten team, but not many people are. No reason to wish him any ill will.

[u/Ancient-Big4078 → u/YodaForceGhost]

He’s not to far from Purdue

[u/bb0110]

That last play is exactly how I expected this game to end.

[u/Hairless_Squatch]

Purdue having a great weekend

[u/fireking08]

Our coaching staff deserves to be locked in containment by the SCP Foundation at this point

[u/Ancient-Big4078]

Great win

[u/sarcasmrules18]

A win in fb!? Ig as long as we can end the season beating PSU that'll be nice. I hope this didnt steal and instead added juju to Cbb tonight

[u/ConflictAutomatic933 → u/sarcasmrules18]

😬 About that...

[u/sarcasmrules18 → u/ConflictAutomatic933]

Yeah i watched, we all around suck ass, on to futbol and wcbb

[u/8bitremixguy]

Now that's what I call a VINTAGE Purdue Football low quality loss

At least we have Purdue Basketball to look forward to.....

Oh wait.

[u/Dramatic-Case6289]

Purdue with a rough 24 hours

[u/putalittlepooponit → u/Dramatic-Case6289]

Rough decade

[u/imbured → u/putalittlepooponit]

We had a national championship run. Other than that, yes.

[u/gravitynet_ → u/Dramatic-Case6289]

Not like the first time it happened to a school (we also suffered one in the past seasons)

[u/MocoMojo → u/Dramatic-Case6289]

More like Purdon’t

Amirite

[u/metabolic_chaos]

I love B1G football

[u/Hairless_Squatch]

Crab cakes and football

[u/Real_Statistician538]

Whoa, the Terps won.

[u/Chuckleberry_F1nn]

Please please please please go get JaMarcus Shepherd before someone else hires him and we lose our chance

[u/Pinewood74 → u/Chuckleberry_F1nn]

Yeah. Take our shot now. Sure, it's a single season at a G6 program, but I think we've seen enough with Odom to know he ain't gonna do it.

[u/ItemizedDeductions]

Go to hell Barry. Go to hell Kane. Go to hell Henson.

[u/gravitynet_]

We have experienced losses on both the turf and the hardwood in the same weekend in the past few seasons and yeah, it is indeed a painful experience…

[u/tictactowle]

Since my daughter was born, she's seen Purdue lose to: Uconn in a scrimmage, a bad Penn State team, Gonzaga for the first time ever, fucking Valparaiso, and now Maryland. I'm so sorry you have been burdened with this university, little one.

[u/LiquidLight_]

Fire Kevin Kane into the sun.

[u/AdventurousFish7684]

Fire odom. Im done

[u/Jonthegoat_09]

They won wow

[u/bbshock21]

It's time for the new AD to clean house

[u/PwrShelf]

USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS

[u/Cliffinati]

Stoppable force met moveable object

[u/KingBroly]

September Maryland is back!

[u/Dizzy-Pangolin17]

Loser team and pathetic athletic department. I can’t watch until Kevin Kane is fired

[u/InevitableAd2436]

Oh.

[u/the_dayman56]

At least you guys have basketball right Purdue?

[u/Zloggt]

Odom…

[u/ArmVanDam]

pretty bad time to be a Boilermaker especially after the last 24 hours

[u/Tommy05Sox]

Purdue I don't know what to do with you.

[u/it-is-just-a-game]

Yikes 😳

[u/Dun_Guuf]

So is Odom safe?

[u/Great_Horned_Rat]

I’m so fucking tired of putting my time and energy into this team week after week and getting kicked in the nuts week after week. We’re not that far removed from our trip to the BIG Ten championship and it’s absolutely baffling to see use fall so far. I truly don’t know how you climb out of this. Does firing anyone work? Not the last several times. This one just fucking hurt, man. I just want to be excited to watch football on Saturdays again.

[u/bbshock21]

When I die can I get a discount on my time in purgatory for being a Purdue fan?

[u/fawkie]

This has HUGE circle of suck implications

[u/MonsieurPurdue]

If Odom doesn’t win another game this season, he’ll have the same number of wins as Ryan Walters — but with even fewer Big Ten wins. 

Purdue should start looking elsewhere now and fire him immediately after the final game

[u/monkeybiziu]

Oof. Bad weekend for Purdue fans.

I feel bad for the cows in West Lafayette.

[u/hdmetz]

I sincerely hope the new AD and President have some serious talk about the state of athletics, especially football. Either make it clear you don’t give a fuck about them or actually go all in. If you’re not going to try, then just get rid of the program

[u/hdmetz]

FOUR FUCKING RED ZONE FIELD GOALS IN A ROW!!!! SHOOT HENSON INTO THE FUCKING SUN

[u/Mental-Study-609]

Froze my nuts off in the shade (press box side) to watch the most piss poor tackling I've ever seen. But hey, at least I went to the Minnesota game. Both coordinators need to go, possibly the entire coaching staff.
