I'm glad people are asking this.
I fully expect we beat Purdue, and perhaps impressively and then somehow squeak it out in Pasadena and then lose to Oregon by 10-15 while keeping it close for 3Q.
To me this would not be a sign of anything other than mediocrity. Judd will get a 3rd year (or more), assuming he wants it.
In this day and age, with almost 2 years complete, we shouldn't be struggling on the road against everyone and certainly shouldn't be losing to a 2-6 team with the punter as their leading passer.
