Worst OL coach and Worst OC in the country doing what they do best.
Last week was magical because Wisconsin was ready for Sully. This week is what an NU offense under Bajakian looks like.
The OL is playing well enough. Bryant is holding the ball too long. The sacks have been largely coverage sacks.

He is a brilliant game caller. He doesn’t call what the defense gives us. He forces what he wants.
What game are you watching. It’s not a coverage sack when they get to the quarterback in under 3 seconds.
I might be a contrarian here, but I think Purdue’s defense is playing better than I expected, and that is most of the problem. I don’t see them making a lot of mistakes. (Now go watch that 1Q Badger defense for contrast.)
We, of all teams’ fans, should understand that you ‘out team‘ your opponents to win.

The same one you are watching. The difference is I know what I am looking at. The pass blocking has been OK. Purdue’s coverage is very good. Their head coach knows how to coach up DBs. Bryant is holding the ball too long and that is why they are getting home.
Sorry. An offense should be expected to score over 24 points every game consistently. We need to stop making excuses for a bad offense.
I like Porter, but I wish someone would teach him how to use a stiff arm instead of trying to run through everyone.
Porter has a lot of talent but he lacks great vision and good balance, two important skills for a RB.
Not sure why he plays so much more than Tyus. Tyus is slow, but Porter isn't getting past the LOS anyway. Himon faster and Tyus stronger inside
Absolutey!! The Bajakian experiment is LONG done! Time to move on and bring a fresh young coach in!
To be fair to Corbi, Purdue does have one of the top defenses in the state of Indiana.
At least we got some points after the muffed punt but we should have more points on the board right now. We are not taking full advantage of the Purdue turnovers. Also agree that Bryant is holding on to the ball but also a agree Purdue defense has great coverage and pressure on the qb.
is it me or these announcers are jerking each other off about Mockabee.
Millen is totally nonsensical.
“Are there better players than him? Sure.
Are there better *football players* than him? No.”
It is unclear what distinguishes a player from a *football player*.
Okay I hope NU can, against all odds, generate a drive here. Hooooo baby.

Purdue’s head coach is an outstanding defensive teacher, particularly DBs. Their coverage has been excellent. Our OL has played two good games the last two weeks. I am pleasantly surprised.
