Need to stop handing off to Higdon in second half. Get the ball to Perry, DPJ, or Isaac. Need playmakers getting the ball.

I did enjoy they at least attempted something before the half instead of just killing clock.

seems to have regressed every week.

Can we just go full air raid?

This offense is completely terrible.  I don't know if we're going to beat Purdue, let alone the better teams on the schedule.  How can they be this frickin' bad?

used A LOT MORE.  Purdue can't cover Gentry.  Mismatch. 

Why are we just trying to overpower Purdue with inside running?

Every DC on the schedule is taking note. Stop the run on first and second down, then blitz on third and the O-line will fail to pick it up. Can we actually see some WR's on the field in the second half? With three offense gurus on the staff, it is unbelievable that they can't come up with a plan to utilize what they have. Stop trying to run plays that your personel is incapable of executing!

You fuck-heads wondered what the offense would be like without Speight... enjoy this .. hopefully you’re right in a big way. I’m currently surrounded by buck tooth fucking Purdue fans.

Speight isn't the primary problem. OLine getting demolished and RBs missing blitzes

We have been out-coached, out-prepared and out-worked every week that didn't involve someone who allegedly had relations with a dead shark.

so I don't know why people are surprised the offense is bad again. Purdue did a pretty good job throttling a pedestrian Mizzou offense. But that's what our offense has been all year, too - pedestrian.

Do you really think the players just all somehow magically transform from being meh last Saturday to being good this Saturday?

Anyone thinking 'championships' at this point needs to reevaluate urgently.

and score, and I mean a TD, in this next possession, it's gonna be a bad sign...

This coaching and play calling absolutely sux. 

if the offensive dysfunction is a direct result of really bad play calling.  Why the self-inflicted stupid play calling.

The only drive with several intelligent calls strung together is the one where M scored. 

 

The OL cannot deliver the seams and our passing game cannot punish the 8-10 guys in the box. Time to spread the field, gives the backs more room and let JOK hit some slot shots and downfield passes. Playing football in a phone booth with this unphysical bunch is not the solution. JH, Drevno and Pep need to earn their pay.

need to bubble screen with dpj and crawford the whole 2nd half

Also we are without Black, Isaac, and Speight now. It's going to be a slog on offense. I hate it more than anybody but we should make it through to the other side with Harbaugh's recruiting.

This offensive struggle is on missed assignments of blockers, mistakes (e.g.- holding onto the football and not throwing it away, and just no creativity in play calling. Extremely dissatisfied with all things play calling.

Would not expect anything else. Top 25 ranking....highly doubtful...not even at this point of the season.

Rushing not including QB's: 17 carries 55 yards

 

Passing:

Speight 2/4 for 10 yards.  No td.  No Int

O'Korn 7/10 for 92 yards.  1 td. 1 int

 

Our offensive line needs to step up big time

Purdue runs screen passes. Can't we do that and use our athletes?

Run, run, pass, punt. Maybe switch that shit up.

from Eastbound And Down. All the forced 'dude banter' between those four in the studio...

Clemson offense to the UM offense. Watching both games back and forth. Dabo is quite an offensive coach. He gets great spacing and motion into his offense. 1st yr starter at QB is calm and mobile. They have missed opportunities to score, but at least they move the ball and create variable pressure on the D.

Speight's 3 drives 4/11, 3/7, 3/-6   So 10 plays 12 yards.

 

O'Korn: 4 drives (last one not included): 13/84 (td), 3/0, 3/6, 3/-5.   22 plays, 85 yards.  1 TD, I int.

 

Ugh

game has loss written all over it. 

I have three tall beers next to me. Goal is to have them gone before the second half starts. I likely need to.

We are not the 8th best team in the country when we can't even move the ball on Purdue.

may need to run the ball a bit with okorn unless they find a way to get RBs moving behind this OL.  theyve had a few decent runs but its usually 3-4 yards followed by negative yardage or QB pressure.

and obviously must continue taking shots downfield with okorn - hit or miss, gotta take those shots.  they can work the short pass game (and i love finally seeing TEs involved and taking free yardage outside to WRs) and likely sustain a few long drives in 2nd half but a couple big chunk plays go a long way.

great chance for this team / staff to find ways to play tough, efficient, aggressive ball vs much improved purdue squad and truly earn a road win.  its there, just gotta take it.  win 2/3 phases in 2nd half and should be 4-0
