I was with family yesterday and this very topic came up...there is more than enough talent everywhere on that side of the ball, aside of the offensive line. It is unbelievable that just about anyone at any level of football would not understand or appreciate the importance of an OL so as to make everything else function or work, especially at its peak level...Purdue has recruited the WR position to a point that it is almost "over-recruited"...but, it does not even matter due to the deficiency of the OL.
What is most puzzling to me is that absent Moore, Purdue was targeting Bell 10/15/20 times a game, despite his being the focus of every opponent defense (other than Iowa for who knows what reason(s)), and, he was still almost unstoppable, yet, when Moore comes back, he somehow borders on becoming the Invisible Man at times. Purdue can't run the ball effectively because of how bad the OL is...but, has had some success still simply because of the sheer work ethic and competitiveness of Horvath, yet, it has as good a WR duo as there is in the country, as much depth at the position as almost any program in the country, and, it is not able to exploit that? That is concerning for sure...it would seem that you would not even have to be a genius of any sort to be able to do it, but, if you were, that you would have a literal field day...and that has not happened, nor even approached doing it.
