Purdue Snowflakes: The Offense

This will be the thread for offensive hot takes.

No, not "offensive" hot takes. Well, keep it PG-13. Deal?

The OL is down when compared to last year.  The center and tackles are all down a notch in talent and in-game performance.  Those are the facts and they are indisputable.  Our passing game, (when JJ is not throwing inaccurate balls, behind his receivers, low or high, etc.), is a bit up improved. Which JJ will we see against PSU?  If it is +JJ, I say Mich 34 - 17.  If we see the questionable -neg.JJ... PSU 27 - 26

Probably the most disappointing call of the game yesterday on the offensive side of the ball was to put JJ in shotgun on the fourth and one play thus handing the ball off so deep in the backfield. JJ is a strong runner and if you have Corum or Mullings to push him there's a lot better chance of success than starting so deep in the backfield. Hopefully that's something we can work on prior to PSU.
