Regardless, there's little faith by the media that Brohm is putting together a conference championship level program. Year 5 and predictions of 5 to 6 wins is worse than what we had with Danny Hope. Pretty sad...
two things .. can’t hire Diaco and you can’t Have players that fall below the minimum talent level starting on your team. It is not 1996. Coaches can zero in on guys and build an entire attack around exploiting them.
when you don’t have but one big ten caliber starting safety, you need to know that RIGHT MFING NOW, and start sounding every alarm you can.
your bottom end is more important than your top end. If I’m an opposing offense and I can victimize your secondary in space, I can get the ball out before karlaftis gets to my QB.
I think of players like Ralph turner and I say to myself.. not a miracle worker, nobody’s super star. But give me 22 turners at their position before I start worrying about what star power I can add, and I can guarantee you a pretty solid football team. And that’s been our problem since 2003 ended ...
You go back and tell me what player on the 2003 team coaches could zero in on and say “stop the film! THAT guy.”
In 04 I watched Erasmus James lift David Owen off the ground and plant him into Kyle Orton, and we’ve had at least one guy like that ever since.
As much as I’d like to see Marvin grant stay healthy and become a stud, I’d love to know that after Cam Allen we have two Ralph turners in case grant does get hurt.
when that happens, we can get a bunch of gimmes on the schedule. But I don’t know that we are any closer to that then we were at any point in the past 18 years
In case you’re wondering, If you’re looking for a team that has had that for a while, northwestern is that team. If you’re looking for a team that was better at a lot of positions that lost to us because WE exploited one or two guys enough to beat a more talented team, go back and watch ferentz’s loss to brohm. Go watch Michael Ojemudia and manny rugumba and come back with Purdue85 to tell me how much if a meanie I am lol
