Good point. Clearly, JB modified his second half strategy and it worked.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.
If Perry can catch the ball he should be our TE, speed and power. Can you imagine him catching the ball and running downfield? If he can manhandle DL, think what he can do to LB and DB.Excellent job!!! Next mission get the tight ends involved. Espicislly with the issues at wr
I hope he's our next head coach and not Virginia'sWe need to secure Jason and Jaime for the long term
More worried about the west coast then VAI hope he's our next head coach and not Virginia's
Next hc when Dino hangs em up after finally making it to the college football playoffs! Put it in writing!We need to secure Jason and Jaime for the long term
If any SEC or B1G team targets Beck, the buyout will not matter...at all.As far as any risk of losing Beck to a big time P4 school as an OC, a big bump in salary could also entail a significant buyout. Obviously a buyout would not apply if it were for a HC job.
Reminds me a bit of last year. Offense rolled for first few games. Once we got into the meat of P5 play, not so much. Wide receiver production dropped off, and forced us to be one dimensional. However, our 1dimension was was operating at about 80% due to Shrader and Tucker playing hurt.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.

Even though Clemson-UNC-FSU is in a row, the team gets a bye after which is nice.Reminds me a bit of last year. Offense rolled for first few games. Once we got into the meat of P5 play, not so much.

This year, I feel like Allen is probably as effective as Tucker was at 80%, and Shrader, as far as we know is still healthy. I'm hopeful, that the drops by the wide receivers, were just a bad day, because they are getting separation, and getting open, and if they can just catch the ball, we have legitimate threats on the ground and in the air. If the drops continue, we'll be as one dimensional as last year.
Gonna need it for sure.Even though Clemson-UNC-FSU is in a row, the team gets a bye after which is nice.

Biggie Munn was a selfish b@stard!Question: How many FBS P5 schools have not lost a head coach to another college in the last 70 years? (I cut it off at 70 because that’s as far back as I can guess.)
We’ve had a couple go to the pros, a few that got let go, but no one has left for another college HC position.
Bud Wilkinson too.Biggie Munn was a selfish b@stard!
He is a great blocker for his size. Not saying he is small, but isn’t scared “to get in there” with anyone on the field.What I notice is that Allen was excellent on his fakes. Finishing his "runs" but also on a key third down he sprinted hard downfield and took the defender with him to get enough room for GS to get the first down
Duffy Daugherty, Tom Coughlin and Nick Saban too if we are including assistants.Bud Wilkinson too.
They were spying on GS? I wish Todd Blackledge had mentioned that ha. Spying and uncatchable ball were his buzzwords.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
IF Dino left you take Beck over Lewis as the next HC?Next head coach in my opinion. IF you can secure that probably depends on Dino’s plans and success.
