The Iowa fans were more rowdy, and were louder for a longer peiod of time. Both groups of fans were noticeably quieter after they got down by a couple of TD's, though. 
Iowa was a much more intimidating environment. Fortunately, the team was well-prepared in each case. Gotta love JT.

I've read the thread, but not the articles that were posted within.
I didn't see any mention of the non-TD for Purdue on the play before they scored. The RB (Dierking, I believe) got hit on the 1-foot line, turned around, and went over the goal line. Herbie and Musberger (I've watched my recording of the game) stated that it should have been a TD.
The reason it wasn't a TD was because they ruled the play dead when his helmet came off. By rule, they protect a ball-carrier without a helmet by blowing the play dead. There was an announcement in the stadium that was hard to hear because the tOSU fans were urging the defense to preserve the shutout.

I wondered about that because it was clear that the ball cross way over the line. |

anyone else notice at the end of the second half, we should have had to run another play but the play clock never started so we just let the clock keep running
Neither Musberger or Herbie noticed it but we let a good 35 seconds run and took it to the locker room

I was talking with my brother and we were perplexed about JT telling Boeckman to bomb away. Then it hit me...was Tressel throwing the ball deep to prepare Purdue for Michigan? Think about it...Michigan is gonna test their secondary. Think about it
