Dirty recruiting or just telling offensive recruits the truth?? "You don't want to play in that offense"
This Purdue game is going to be FUN

Dirty recruiting or just telling offensive recruits the truth?? "You don't want to play in that offense"
I agree about how important it is for the hawk defense to come out of the tunnel and be at 110% since when they do that and stop the other team's first couple of drives then the hawks get better and better.
Purdue QB gets the ball out quickly. Without pressure I don’t know how the DB’s hold up for us. Moss hasn’t been a lock down defender this year and PU knows how to attack our scheme. Will Jones knowing us and vice versa will that help or hurt?
I expect Purdue will go up tempo and try to run as many plays as possible against us in hopes of breaking a big one. If we give up more than 17 it will likely be a loss and victory isn’t a lock even if the D plays lights out.

those aren’t fans….. I’m seriously having trouble stomaching this board anymore
I’m guessing Nebraska fans are laughing their asses off at all the whiny little bitches on here

Boy, that would suck given how good the Purdue run defense has been sans Wisconsin
Michigan ran the ball up the gut to a 20-0 and packed it in and went home. Iowa St drove 99 yds with a newbie qb running the same play and playing on the road for the first time. Illini O is as bad as the Hawk's. Ohio St put up 54! and scored every time in the 2nd half.
Hawk's are what they are. Get off Barta, he schedules very well.
No, not really. Illinois offensive scoring average is +10 over Iowa's and their total offense is ~+160 yds/game more than Iowa's. That's not close at all IMO.
I'm hopeful that Iowa finds a groove Saturday and makes things very difficult for Purdue once they get into the RZ. That may cause them to take too many chances and hopefully Iowa can capitalize on that and convert their mistakes into points.
The DBs don't know Jones since he isn't running the same scheme he did at Iowa.
Get real. They know his tendencies. His speed and elusiveness.
It's called film... A guy doesn't break tendencies over a couple of months. Our db's know Charlie and his comeback route, just have a safety over the top to get the interception. Cooper can jump a couple routes in this game.
Film....
Bell and Charlie Jones are two different receivers with totally different skill sets. Bell didn't play at Iowa and the db's didn't go against him in practice...
It wasn't just Bell.
Anthony Mahounjou
Terry Wright
They both lit up Iowa's secondary before Bell played for Purdue. It is scheme.
Was more of the fact that guys were out of position. Phil and the db's have talked about playing sound assignment defense against Purdue and not getting sucked up into tendencies. Once Brohm gets you on your heels they up the tempo and keep you there.
Iowa was also down a couple of players the last two times playing Purdue and that doesn't boad well. Not an excuse, but I am glad Moss is healthy.
I am not flaming Phil and the defense. God knows they are the only reason we are even hanging out on this board. The truth is Iowa has not had many stud lock-down corners. Des King was the best under KF and he is a slot corner in the NFL. Moss has had a great career but he can be beaten. Sheffield is probably a bigger threat than Jones. I hope the weather is as forecast and Phil is aggressive with pressure.
Running back for Purdue has been over 100 yards the last three games and the tight end has over 40 catches this year. Scheme for Brohm has changed a bit.
Just heard Kirk say we have been beat on deep balls mostly to the defensive right side. One tendency Purdue has had and picked on against Iowa.

Agreed, but Nebby was beating them over the top with Trey Palmer . We ain’t got a Trey Palmer.
I read Brohm's press conference. He emphasized that for Purdue getting a lead against Iowa is key to not let Iowa play like it wants to play. I would agree.
It also looks like Boilers have serious injury issues on both sides of the ball. 3 secondary members out. Wisconsin had a ton of success throwing the ball. Mertz average nearly 10 yards per pass attempt and Badgers ran for 178. O'Connell also threw 3 picks. Of course, against Iowa O'Connell is Joe Montana.
Will be interesting to see what, if any, changes Parker makes this year. Traditionally, Iowa just does their stuff on defense regardless of opponent and the results have been good. Brohm has managed to attack the Iowa defense like no one else has been able to.
I think only one secondary member is out, granted, an important one. The D has been anchored by the Dline all year though. Hard to wear them down because they play 3 deep at each spot. Essentially, they just keep coming.
As for O'Connell and Purdue, they have always struggled with Wisconsin. I don't get it. Go look at O'Connell last year. Ended the season as hot as anyone, but was absolute trash in the Wisconsin game. Plus he's been playing hurt. Is healthy now.
How so? Neither of those guys was there long enough to absorb that much complexity. It takes a QB at least 3 years to learn the basics.
Not the same as going against someone in practice day after day and knowing what he likes to do and how fast, etc. You could tell in Riley's interview he is very much looking forward to it.
It’s not about Kirks supposed squeaky clean image people want to tarnish it’s about missed opportunities on offense that are so clear to see that Kirk refuses to utilize to push Iowa into an upper level Big 10 team. We play not to lose and people are damn sick of it.
I doubt Moss will match up much against Jones. CJ lines up on the right side most of the time.
I was talking specifically about his comments about the reporter and how he is glad he doesn’t have their job. A lot of coaches say things like that but Kirk normally takes the high road.
Pure BS. There’s nothing on Brohm inside close circles.
Brohm is a very private man and if you have stories it’ll be a first. If anyone had stories on him they’d have Louisville or Lexington zip codes. Never a peep. Nice try!
Last coach to beat Tennessee and lots of wins over ranked teams. When has he ever had superior talent?
