SB Nation: Bill Connelly's Purdue Football Season Preview

[RedParallax]

Bill's write-ups are, in my opinion, the absolute best in the industry. Thought folks might find it interesting to read about our season opening, first-B1G-program-at-the-Joan.

Purdue football is clearly improving. No, seriously

Hope they get better every game this year, right after they lose to us!

It will be a slug fest. That is a very big front line and they will try to come in here and try to pound the ball on us and throw when they have too. HUGE game for us both. Will come down to who is better prepared and makes the fewest mistakes. This is a game we both need to win without a doubt..... Already pumped!

Glad we have them the first game. Their O line may dominate our DL.

although the disparity in B1G was probably not much different than other conferences, what caught my eye is that the Herd is the second highest ranked team on their '15 schedule based on '14 final ranking. Their OOC games aren't bad for a rebuilding program....i wish the Herd had the Herd and VT on it's OOC schedule instead of Norfolk and Kent!

 

[Herd Fever]

There OL is big yes but not athletic at all. If we stunt and blitz well, we should be able to neutralize their size
