He should talk to Shafer about running a 3-3-5 in the Big 1?
Why can't it work? Get bigger faster players in the same system and it won't have the same problems against the run we had this year. Our problems were not the system. They were personnel, specifically injuries and lack of depth.
U would have to have 3 big cats that can move quick.
Rhule ran a 3-3-5 at Baylor in 2019
If he wasn't familiar with the system, why poach him? I would think he had options.
Purdue is a passing offense
Purdue beat Purdue. We just slowed them down a little. They put up nearly 500 yards of offense.
Fair.
I am pretty sure Rhule has always been friendly to the 3-3-5. Nebraska fans are telling themselves it is just a 3-4 in nickel. Yikes.
Sorry but I disagree. Syracuse won that game, one of the most exciting games in the dome for a very long time. It was track meet. I'm tired of seeing this false narrative that SU didn't earn that win.
Did it?
485 - 306
That was obviously also a passing league. I’m just seeing LBer’s in gaps ready to rush against OT and sometime OG’s and have flash backs of Rich Rod at Michigan . If they can recruit 285lb DE’s and a 300+ Lb DT to go with LB’s with size they have a chance. But they play Iowa, Michigan Sr, Minnesota, Northwestern, and Wisconsin annually who play old school 3 yards and a cloud of dust type offenses. It’s going to be interesting that’s for sure. I hope he has thick skin. Nebraska fans were already complaining about a 3-3-5
Of course they earned it. Being benefitted by timely penalties is a knock on Purdue and it all counts. But when you look at the box score, that's a box score that says Purdue wins that game more often than it loses that game.
