Purdue just hit an 84 yard TD pass on the first play from scrimmage.
It's getting to the point now where I doubt they'll be able to fix it until the offseason

This just reeks of the sort of game where Ohio sleep walks through the first half and then does just barely enough to win in the second half. Purdue's inability to complete several passes of under 5 yards already makes a Boilers win seem disappointingly unlikely.
That said...BOILER UP!

The difference is their scouting has sucked for a while now and they've whiffed on guys like Greg Jones, Jerel Worthy, Jake Ryan, and Frank Clark. It started to catch up to them last year when we hung 40+ on them and this year I see a team with a couple good players (Simon, Robey, Hankins) but not much else and a few guys who can be major liabilities (Shazier especially).
It is spelled HOKEAMANIA. Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!

Jim Heacock essentially ran TOSU's defense, where it placed the top 10 for almost the entire decade. It's becoming more and more apparent that Fickell isnt ready to take the reins on a larger scale. I wonder if Everett Withers is going to be given more responsibility going into 2013.

The difference is, I assume Meyer will get the money to clean housse on the D side of the ball and go bring in a top flight D-Coord and some up and coming posistion coaches. As opposed to "Fuck it, lets go hire Greg Robinson." Meyer's a merc and will have no issue cleaning people out if they fail to perform.

If by "hung Scott Schafer out to dry publicly" you meant "fired him for having a crap defense," then yes, I agree with you. Just because Shafer's defense wasn't as bad as GERG's doesn't mean it wasn't a bad defense.
Also, your comparison to RichRod is dumb. Meyer is neglecting the defense,yes, but he is also ranked, unbeaten, and has already won against MSU.

To be fair, tOSU's defense isn't great, but the offense's tendency to turn the ball over makes them look worse than they are. They are given shit hands a lot. Although right now they're doing a terrible job after the fake punt. That punt conversion seemed to suck all the aggression out of tOSU.

Purdue seems to have foregone the spread stuff...at least on this drive in favor of a more short timing passing attack...Good stuff sprinkled in with some decent runs from Ralph Bolden. Bolden isn't a bad RB, just been injured far too much in his career. But this drive is a pretty impressive and extended drive.

Is shutting out LSU right now. Notre Dame has an elite defense and runs the spread. Meyer's Florida defenses were killer in the title years (courtesy of Mattison). This is just a false assertion. Correlation is not causation.

Oregon, Michigan (RR years), Nebraska (was good now terrible) and as for your arguments. LSU can't score on anyone ranked in the top 60, ND runs a power spread and if I remember right Henne and company torched Meyers Florida team but there are always exceptions, I was just speaking generally.

I know there are spread teams with no defense
I know there are spread teams with no defense
Though Oregon isn't one of them -- they held Cam Newton to a season-low 22 in the 2010 title game.
My point is that it's possible that teams with great spread offenses and horrible defenses are just more memorable than those who are sound on both sides of the ball. "Power Spread" is still spread. Oregon runs power all the freaking time. And bear in mind, in 2006, we gave up 43 to OSU. That Florida team we shredded the next year held them to 14.
