I wonder if Purdue made adjustments that took away what was working in the first half and our WRs didn't make the plays to counter. There were a number of pass plays called where Shrader was just standing waiting for someone to come open. That seems less about play calling and more about ability/execution.I thought the second half play calling was more vanilla at the beginning. Kind of a "prevent offense", with a goal of preventing mistakes, as opposed to attacking. I was hoping for the same aggressive play calling that got SU the 21-7 (should have been 35-21) lead at the half.* However, he called the right plays continuously after the slow beginning to the second half and the O executed most of what he called, sans butter fingered receivers. I credit Beck with keeping Purdue off balance with the tools he had at his disposal.
Beck makes the offense fun, hopefully this turns into recruiting better players across the offense. A deeper line and receivers that catch everything. Still, receivers caught enough for a solid win. We will need a better performance from the receivers to win the bigger games.
* Yes, I am aware that Purdue could have had the score tied at 21. However, Jason Beck (JB2?) had the offense working well against the first test of the season and The D earned the take four aways.
Excellent job!!! Next mission get the tight ends involved. Espicislly with the issues at wr
I was saying this at halftime. When do we go to the TE?Excellent job!!! Next mission get the tight ends involved. Espicislly with the issues at wr
I would rather have a bad wr parked near the sidelines out of Shrader's way than an average tight end in the boxExcellent job!!! Next mission get the tight ends involved. Espicislly with the issues at wr
I had the same exact perception. Started in a 'prevent offense' until the lead shrunk to 1 score and promptly went back into 'Beck Mode'.I thought the second half play calling was more vanilla at the beginning.

Yes they dropped more into coverage and spied GS in the 2nd halfI wonder if Purdue made adjustments that took away what was working in the first half and our WRs didn't make the plays to counter.

Next head coach in my opinion. IF you can secure that probably depends on Dino’s plans and success.We need to secure Jason and Jaime for the long term
I don't know what kind of career aspirations he has but you pay him the most you can, maybe he follows Dino as HC, and you pitch central New York as the place to stay and develop his roots as a family.We need to secure Jason and Jaime for the long term
Well , Dino will be extended, so…Next head coach in my opinion. IF you can secure that probably depends on Dino’s plans and success.
That's where we need to get Allen more involved. If they're dropping into coverage and spying Shrader, there should be room for him. Shrader also needs to be better with reads on the read option. There was that play in the first half where Shrader kept and got swallowed up when Allen had room for like 10 yards. I would love to see at least 50 of Shrader's rushing yards be Allen's.Yes they dropped more into coverage and spied GS in the 2nd half
We did have some odd play calls with 3 WRs to the short side of the field and WR really where not getting much separation in the 2nd half
At some point AD has to come up with a long term succession plan. Dino w/o beck has been no bueno… do you extend him if it means losing Beck? Also how many more years does long have?Well , Dino will be extended, so…
I expect that if we go bowling. But does he want a 4-5 year contract and he’s done? Beck is named Associate Head Coach and then takes over? Or does Dino want to coach 10 more years? ADJW needs to manage that. LOVE LOVE LOVE the guy but we are only 3 games in to the Beck OC tenure so let’s pump the brakes just a tad.Well , Dino will be extended, so…

I feel like BYU or Utah would be the main schools he couldn't pass up.
Hope that he likes CNY and is willing to wait a bit and follow Dino.He’s 42 I think…I have to imagine he has his sights set on HC at some point…
We are nearby the birthplace of LDS.I don't know what kind of career aspirations he has but you pay him the most you can, maybe he follows Dino as HC, and you pitch central New York as the place to stay and develop his roots as a family.

That was a huge miss not giving it to Allen on that play, the Pudrue ILB also made a very nice play of reading the GS keep and set the edge to blow up the keepThat's where we need to get Allen more involved.
