Tiller puzzled by several calls in loss to Penn State

Associated Press - November 7, 2007

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Several calls in last week's loss to Penn State left Purdue coach Joe Tiller scratching his head.

Receiver Selwyn Lymon appeared to catch a touchdown pass from Curtis Painter, but it was ruled incomplete. Purdue ended up settling for a field goal.

Lymon also caught a pass and ran out of bounds, but the official kept the clock running. The Boilermakers were forced to call a timeout with 2:10 to play, one they could have used later while trying to drive for a tie.

Tiller says he's talked to the Big Ten office about the calls. But he's watching what he says in public.

He says he finds himself mentally correcting himself and trying to make sure he doesn't say anything inappropriate.
