Delusional how. You have a program that is stabilizing after being worse than us last year, good team speed, backs with good burst. I think you’re better than Indiana and Nebraska easily. I just think our offense will outpace yours. Have you watched us play since EMU. We didn’t just beat BC. We beat them the way tiller used to beat you guys. We were a blown replay call from winning a shootout against a Missouri team that stayed close with #2 Georgia.
You guys don’t suck, you just won’t keep up with the pace of the Purdue offense.
Here, go to 3:05 -
Rondale Moore and Bryce Hopkins are dangerous and demand constant attention. And with that attention, blough, who is playing better than any QB we’ve had since Brees other than Orton in 5 games in 04, gets a lot out of the rest of the players. Blough is on pace to pass up Kyle Orton in career yards despite Sharing QB duties in multiple seasons.
Where is purdue weak? Corner... Mackey and Major, the two freshmen, are more talented than Cason and Blackmon, but.. freshmen. The pass rush with the Pure DEs is not good.
And our DEs lose contain a lot. The safeties are not great against the run.. but Thieneman is far better than mosley. Offensively Zico and wright leave a lot of plays on the field and sparks is way overrated by Purdue fans. If Zico and wright start dropping 3rd down conversion catches and touchdowns that’s where Illinois could get the lead and force Purdue into a different game. Isaac Zico can look like a world beater on one drive and then on the next have the ball go right off his chest to an Illinois defender.
Also, if you guys can get a REALLY good pass rush you could throw the timing off a lot.
