Whether Purdue quarterback Sean Robinson can help the Boilermakers keep pace with the explosive Michigan offense led by Denard Robinson will be answered Saturday.

A tad south in Boilermaker country, Mike Carmin of JConline.com gives a few thoughts on Saturday's Michigan-Purdue showdown.

Writes Carmin, "Asking this Purdue offense to match the Wolverines point-for-point might be too much. Freshman quarterback Sean Robinson will have an opportunity to make plays against a woeful defense, but can he?"

Buckeyes are red; Michigan is blue. Theo212's not a poet Oh, how that's true! Buckeyes chase roses UMers do not. Calling RR a "King." IQ, you have not. On the 27th of November, you're welcome to our town. After beating you on the field, you'll leave with a frown. Again beaten, RR will be gone, if the alums have their say. And the world's best rivalry will resume another day. Buckeyes are red and Penn State is blue Paterno seeks 401 but it just isn't true. OSU loves victory and so does Purdue. But that means a loss for RR and those called, "The Blue."

Ballad of the Snake Oil Salesman The King of Fools got a win Cause the Zooker came in And oh did the Koolaid flow! The win helped him save face Though the defense was a disgrace But oh did the fan boys crow! He held up 1 fingers The sneaky smile did linger And the bandwagon came along in tow Off to Purdue went the team Now that win seemed like a dream As Danny Hope dealed out the deathblow! The Lie was exposed The King of Fools was deposed But who could the team now follow? From out West came a Coach A Michigan Man without reproach It was Jim Harbaugh from out near Frisco! Only 3 more stops on the RichRod farewell tour! Hop on in West Lafayette!

So Tater, it's ok for you NOT to support the HC (by your own admission you didn't support LC), but anyone else that doesn't is a "hater"? That's funny right there, I don't care who you are!

Agree with PU. Anyone can score on our defense. The only question is whether he can score enough points. I say no. Purdue has too many players out and not enough horses on defense. Go Blue!

Stop by any time Theo. I'm sure I can find room for you and Tater on the Harbaugh band wagon after he's hired.

Im pretty sure anyone can make plays against this defense. With that being said, Purdue will not be able to keep up with the Michigan offense. Michigan by 13.
