I think the Purdue game was a good prep for the team for the conference schedule.

They had a big, strong DL, they made stopping the RB a priority, they played press with their corners a ton and in the second half, they even tried a spy on Garrett.

As Go says, we went after their corners a lot and we threw it long a lot.

The Purdue CBs were undersized and they bodied our guys, pulled, then, held them and bumped them a lot.  When they got beat, they blantently committed PI to stop TDs.

We are going to see a lot of this in our ACC games.  With OG gone, our WRs need to step up and continue to make plays when getting pushed around.

They struggled some, had a few drops and had the ball ripped away a few times but this fact is undeniable:  they got open against press coverage consistently.  These kids can run and they have really good size.

Even with OG gone, I think teams pressing our WRs are going to have issues.  We might actually see some of the better ACC teams opt to zone us most of the time.
