Honestly, if you start by saying you're not well versed, how can you confidently make a statement about whether it is possible or not? Large scale DDOSes are usually the most damaging when they're high bandwidth (Layer 7 attacks can usually gradually be mitigated by well written firewall rules placed on the proximity of the network). When a DDOS is just maxing out the bandwidth coming into your network or sometimes even data center, no amount of clever algorithms can make your pipes bigger. For that, you need money. *edit fixed a minor typo
