[QUOTE="Subortus, post: 1552848, member: 652086"] I watched the game yesterday but also recorded it. I just now watched Purdue's first offensive play. It is a perfect example of the awful Lovie defenses that we've been seeing for five seasons. Lovie had four down lineman, the cornerbacks were up on the line of scrimmage, three linebackers, and two safeties ten yards deep. The ball is snapped; the safeties immediately backpedal; Purdue is sending four receivers out; Hobbs and Eifler cover the same guy; Witherspoon gets beat off the line of scrimmage; Hansen and Tolson basically don't move; and the safeties are now 20 yards deep with three wide-open Purdue receivers in the huge gap between them and our statue-like linebackers. The Purdue quarterback tosses the ball to one of the three open receivers, one of our safeties makes the tackle, and Purdue gets an easy 12-15 yard gain in its first play. How many times have we seen this before?!?!? I'm sick of it. Lovie, Miles, and the other coaches are simply incompetent. [/QUOTE]
