It wasn’t schematic. The big play they had at the beginning was due to Thieneman coming in to get the QB sneak. You can only scheme out of so many weaknesses. On 3rd downs when we dropped on zone and knew he wasn’t running we did very good.. We are just going to Match up better agains some teams over others. It’s like the people that wanted paint fired because he wouldn’t play zone.

Difference is Painter's actually wins a majority of the time. Sure there are some teams that can find the holes in his system and exploit it, but it's few and far between. Walters' scheme has consistently failed. The athletic dual threat quarterback has become more common in the game at both the college and pro levels, if coach Walters wants to be successful he better figure out a way within his scheme to shutdown those dual threat guys.

And I wouldn’t expect to beat any of them. I would say we have 4 winnable games - and 3 are on the road. at Oregon state, home vs NU, at MSU, and at Indiana. If we can escape this season with 3 wins, we will be in good shape. Reality is finally seeking in for the people who thought we would win 5-7 games, the people who didn’t look at our schedule and pick which games we could or should win, and the same people who thought the transfer portal improved this team.

Mark a line through IU as a winnable game....

Is UCLA at UCLA a comparable team of Purdue at Org St?

I think Oregon state might be better than ucla.

Pretty close. I think Oregon state is slightly better. Sagarin has small sample size but ucla is 76 and Oregon state 68.
