Notre Dame at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[mdclaxton]

This isn't a scheme issue. It's a talent issue IMO. They are faster, stronger and more talented on both lines, LBs and simply overpowering us.

Staff is going to have to fix that by next season or they're going to be unemployed.

The talent gap didn't seem to be an issue for NIU last week. I think it's a poor coaching issue as well.

I have no idea if it's poor coaching because they are simply overpowering both lines and outquicking us.

Coaches are responsible for recruiting too so they remain responsible but ND is just doing basic stuff and shoving it down our throats

play clock was at 0: 00 wtf

 

[HUD628]

isn't he from from some small school?

He was buried at the bottom of the depth chart at IU

 

[mryankee2397]

so glad i dont waste my money on the football team anymore. waiting on the bball team

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

For once, it may have been better to have this game on Peacock.....

 

[mdclaxton]

Averaging about a first down per carry. This defense is just awful yet again.

 

[purduedavie]

they throw a little dump pass and nobody within 10 yds

Their supposed best D player is 30 yards in back of every play, this sucks to watch, when’s hoops start?

Thieneman could be 5 yds back, doesn't matter

 

[Bippus33]

Gosh, Notre Dame looks, mad........

 

[mryankee2397]

can we fire the coach mid game? this is brutal and will not get better with time. fans need to stop going to games until they hire a coach that can recruit

he's been a no show today anyway

 

[tenwest]

looks like walters is gonna live or die with his defense. Right now he’s doin a lot of dyin

Bad angles and can't tackle a qb running down a sideline.....good grief pathetic showing.

Edrine should have more gloves on

 

[purduedavie]

Terrible effort so far, I’m sorry, watching this defense is maddening, if Theineman is going to play 30 yards back, at least make a tackle when a guy gets through everyone. When’s hoop start?

the D is livin on the field

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Pretty good downfield blocking on that last TD run.....took him all the way back almost out of bounds - then he missed the last shot to stop it.

ND's only issue today so far is some injuries.

Yea, makes me long for basketball. I love football, it sucks when your favorite team is bad most years.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

This is like watching us against Wisconsin.

 

[BBG]

Gosh, Notre Dame looks, mad........

And we look horribly bad....

 

[seminolesboilers]

The yearly…is it basketball season yet? Just forfeit the remaining football games…then we only lose 1-0.

 

[qazplm]

Yeah that's not scheme or coaching just pathetically embarrassing execution and effort.

I think this kind of performance can break a team's confidence.

I'm not gonna call for anyone to be fired in game 2 of year 2 but this staff is going to have to start over on everything they are doing because I don't think I have seen a team look this sloppy bad and overmatched from effort even during Hazel years. We at least played hard for a quarter or two before getting blown out.

 

[msfboiler3]

Terrible effort so far, I’m sorry, watching this defense is maddening, if Theineman is going to play 30 yards back, at least make a tackle when a guy gets through everyone. When’s hoop start?

He's absolutely horrible today. Nds qb running through and around him multiple times.

 

[Poprudy]

Gosh, Notre Dame looks, mad........

We look like an unprepared team. Even our "All-American" can't tackle. Along with this makeshift O-line this game is a joke.

I was a Walter's believer but this shows he's not ready for the B1G. Well, the future looks murky.

 

[tenwest]

Hey!! Purdue leads in “body count”

 

[BBG]

Yeah that's not scheme or coaching just pathetically embarrassing execution and effort.

100% disagree. The coaching staff had 2 weeks to get this team ready and failed to do so miserably. This is a top to bottom failure.

 

[purduedavie]

Thieneman could be 5 yds back, doesn't matter

I get that, it’s just is weird to me seeing it.

 

[Ashaath2016]

Punter is mvp

 

[HUD628]

The players seem to me to be in position to make plays much of the time. They are just failing to do so

 

[RossMackey]

This is what we’re reduced to….

 

[PaBoiler78]

that's part of the problem why you can't get many bigtime recruits to Purdue

 

[purduedavie]

No doubt, it’s just crazy for me though that Purdue’s supposed all Big Ten guy is seemingly out on every play because he’s like a Safery valve/last line of defense player.

 

[mdclaxton]

Wonder what excuses we'll hear from the Walters lovers this time. More Brohm blame I'm guessing.

 

[purduedavie]

The thing is, Purdue fans if football is good will pack the place. This is a flat out embarrassing performance so far.

 

[NashvilleBoiler]

CDH is back, baby!!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ken Stabler didn't even have this much time....lol.

 

[mryankee2397]

fans need to stay away until they hire a quality head coach. this guy is hazel 2.0 or worse

Tackling is horse shit.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

We might need to spend some time this week on tackling.
