Next up, Illinois and the battle for The Cannon.
Taking a look at the size and experience of the Illinois Lines and LBs and seeing how they match up against Purdue's equivalents (Note: Neither team has released a 2-deep so the numbers are based on prior starters with some additions/subtraction guesses in injury situations).
- Iowa was small at O-Line. Illinois is not. In fact it’s much bigger. The Illinois line is coming in at 313.0 lbs. They are above average in terms of size and experience for any Purdue opponent and the B10 coming in at 3.4 years of experience. The four returning starters all have at least 25 starts and the two tackles (Lowe & Palczewski) started against Purdue in 2017. Collectively, they have a very high 130 career starts.
- This week’s Purdue’s projected D-Line (Kalaftkis, Neal, Watts, Mitchell) averages about 291.3 lbs, up 23.8lbs from last year’s 267.5 lbs. They will be outweighed by the Illinois line by about 21.7 lbs per man on average. Purdue’s average experience is 3.25 years, up a full year to last year’s line. The size of this group is not only well above average for a B10 team, it is the largest in the B10, The unit is slightly below average in terms of experience (2nd Team All-B10 Karlaftis bringing down the average). As a unit they have 60 collective starts not counting Mitchell.
- Purdue’s projected LBs (Graham, Barnes, Alexander) come in at 230.0 lbs, up 5 lbs from last year and are at 3.00 years of experience, up from 2.33 last season. They have a collective 44 starts between them. Size wise, this group is right at the average for the B10 and all opponents and essentially right at the average in terms of experience.
- Purdue’s projected O-line (Hermanns, Craig, Garvin, Jornigan, Long) will average 303.0 lbs per man, up by 6 lbs from last year’s 297.0 lbs. While much improved, Purdue's size is still going to be well below average compared to the rest of the B10 and other Purdue opponents, but slightly below the mean (Minnesota, IU and Wisconsin skew the average). They average 2.60 years of experience, is up slightly from last season’s 2.4 years. Their experience puts them well below the B10 average and also below all opponents. Collectively, they are young in years and it shows in the number of starts, with 39 (Long’s UTEP starts not included). Starting out last season, this group had 51 starts but they were concentrated in McCann (36) and Hermanns (15) so Purdue should be in much better shape this season. Should Craig not go and be replaced by Holstege the size and experienced do not change and just subtract 1 start.
- Illinois features a traditional 4 man front. At 276.25 lbs, Illinois’s D-line is below average for the D-Line units Purdue will face this year. They will be above average in terms of experience with a 3.75 year average. Even though they’re older, they have two new starters this year with just one full year starter, DT Woods, returning. One of the new starters however is 300lb Grad Transfer DT Perry. They’ll be outweighed by Purdue’s O-line by 27.75 lbs per man. As mention, they have two new starters so they’ll have just 24 starts between them.
- Illinois’s base defense is a 4-3. The Illinois LBs come in well below average for the B10 and for Purdue’s opponents at 223.33 lbs, the smallest group in the B10. They are also below the B10 average in terms of experience with 2.67 years at the position. During Friday’s game, Senior stalwart MLB, Hansen looked as if he suffered a concussion and replaced by Sophomore Tarique Barnes. If so, it’s unlikely he’ll be cleared to go Satuday. While Barnes played well, it’s a sizeable step down, experience-wise. If Hansen can go, the size stays the same, the experience moves up to 3.33 and the number of stars rises to 38his replacement will likely be Tarique Barnes, a 6’1, 230lb Sophomore with 0 starts. .

So, first won in the books and Purdue survived missing a couple of key elements of the team while holding off the Hawkeyes for the 3rd year out of the four of Brohm’s tenure.
Not having fans was interesting (btw I didn’t see my cutout, I must have been in the beer line) but didn’t seem that strange on TV. Perhaps I’m getting used to that (hope not).
Purdue is now 1-0 for the first time since 2016 (Eastern Kentucky), 1-0 against a FBS team for the first time since 2014 (Western Michigan), and 1-0 against a Power 5 team for the first time since 2004 (Syracuse).
On to game two to finish off the first ¼ of the season.
Champaign-Urbana is apparently the island of misfit toys. Once again, Illinois features a good number of transfers. By my count they have 16 this year with the majority either starting or in the main rotation for playing time. For as successful as Smith was a successful NFL coach, that success did not translate to recruiting HS players. As illustrated in the starter ratings above, a large portion of those lower rated starters came to Illinois out of HS. The higher ranked players in general are transfers. The bottom line, is that there is a good deal of talent on the team, the question is how they fit together.
Against Wisconsin, the Illinois offense did not score a point. The Wisconsin defense can do that to teams.
QB Peters did not look sharp and did more damage with his legs (7 carries for 75 yards including sacks) than with his arm (8 of 19, 87 yards, 0TDs). Redshirt Frosh, Isaiah Williams, came in for a number of snaps with mixed results. He did not throw the ball.
RB Mike Epstein is back once again is what has been a injury plagued career. Illinois lost their top three rushers from last season so they welcome Epstein back although he fumbled on his first carry on Friday.
Illinois’ top receiver, John Imatorbhebhe, a transfer a year from USC is back and while he didn’t do much against Wisconsin, will likely cause some matchup issues for Purdue. Wisconsin was able to cover him with their best CB regardless of which side he lined up. Purdue, of course, doesn’t flip CBs so we should know quickly which Purdue CB Illinois wants to match up with him. Peters seeming only looked for Imatorbhebhe who caught three of the eight passes Illinois was able to complete.
Illinois also features a solid TE (18 receptions for 283 yards & 4 TDs LY) plus adds transfers Daniel Imatorbhebhe (Josh’s brother, from USC) and Luke Ford (Former #1TE recruit from Georgia).
I think it’s safe to say that the Illinois offense isn’t as bad as they showed against Wisconsin. That said, it remains to be seen how well they will eventually run the ball, the key to their success. With the experience they have at O-Line, it was surprising how poorly they ran the ball. Purdue will need to ensure they don’t let Peters or Williams scramble. FWIW, Illinois didn’t make it in to the Red Zone last week.
Last season, Illinois’ defense was one of the best teams in the nation in forcing turnovers and defensive scoring. They were able to get a start on matching that against Wisconsin scoring on a fumble recovery (for Illinois’ only points of the night).
Defensively, Illinois did a reasonable job stopping the Wisconsin running game. No single runner over 70 yards and held the team to 3.3 yards per carry. Where Wisconsin seemed to get their best gains were when they were able to get the ball to the outside. The addition of DT Perry (FCS All-American at South Carolina St) helped to clog up the middle.
Of course, when you focus on one aspect of a team’s offense, you generally give up something somewhere else. That somewhere else was in the passing game. Wisconsin’s QB Mertz completed 20 of 21 passes for 248 yards and 5 TDs in his first start. 12 of those 20 receptions were by a TE or back. The only long completion to a WR was in a busted coverage situation which left the middle of the field wide open (there were several similar busted coverages by Illinois). Illinois also had difficulty covering wheel routes. Wisconsin created easy passes for Mertz and Illinois was unable to adapt.
Purdue under Brohm is 1-0 at Illinois; 2-1 overall and 2-0 when not playing at the bottom of a pond.
Purdue should get back their Head and Special Teams coaches this week after their stay at Club Covid. Hopefully Moore makes his 2020 debut as well. Without them, they didn’t seems to miss much from a play calling standpoint; Special Team’s play was solid and having David Bell (and Iowa’s secondary) helped diffuse the loss of Moore.
I suspect Purdue will see a slightly different looking Illinois defense than the one that Wisconsin faced. Illinois seemed intent on stopping Wisconsin’s running game (which they did for the most part) and clogged up the middle. As well as Purdue ran the ball with Horvath, Purdue’s bread and butter is throwing the ball. It was refreshing however to see Purdue be able and pick up short (1 or 2 yards) 3rd down plays on the ground.
The Illinois pass defense was very suspect on Friday, and Wisconsin doesn’t have a David Bell, Rondale Moore or even a Milton Wright. Only SR Danny Davis (4*) comes close but David Bell had more receiving yards on Saturday (121 yards) than Davis had in all of 2019 (110 yards). Wisconsin gained most of their yards with check down passes or routes out of the backfield which the DBs had difficulty recognizing and covering (one of the hazards of first game and of transfer players in a new system).
I’d look for Purdue to test Illinois DBs and LBs in coverage to see if they can hold up. Taking a page out of Wisconsin’s playbook and look to the TEs and RBs for easy completions would seem to be a sound strategy. Just like Illinois can’t overplay the run and expect to cover passes, they probably can’t cover Bell, Moore, Wright, et.al. and expect to cover Durham, Horvath, etc. in the flats and on short routes.
Purdue’s running game got a huge boost, especially late, with the bruising Horvath dragging Hawkeye players down the field. Having a big back like Horvath can pay dividends picking up short yards and moving the chains when opposing defenses start to tire. I don’t think he has the speed to out run players to the edge so hopefully, the Purdue coaches will keep him running up the middle or off tackle. A short pass is a much better way to get him into space where he is a mismatch for DBs in the open field.
While Horvath didn’t seem to tire, adding in Doerue should help keep them both fresh.
For his first start in 2020 and 4th for his career, O’Connell had a good performance but Purdue wasn’t able to capitalize on some opportunities. A wide open Bell was overthrown on one series and a tipped pass and interception in the red zone, kept Purdue from a score.
Purdue’s 3rd Down conversions (6 of 16) need to improve. Sometimes, check down receivers were open which would have moved the chains but the pass went downfield, often into coverage, resulting in an incompletion.
We don’t know how he’ll perform when he gets Moore back on the field, but O’Connell does need to spread the ball around and not target Bell as often as he has while a starter. In O’Connell’s four starts, 40% of his completed passes went to Bell. By comparison, in 2018 with arguably less talent at WR, Rondale was responsible for 34% of the receptions.
Purdue’s defense was respectable for their first outing under Diaco and the new system. Neither Iowa’s WRs or TEs were able to hurt Purdue to any great degree. Getting a pair of 3 and Outs to start the game was a refreshing change of pace from prior years.
If one game is any indication (and it’s not) but Mitchell looks like the real deal and could be an integral cog in the defense with the ability to play a number of roles opposite Karlafkis.
It appeared some adjustments were made at halftime to correct some holes in the running game. That and forcing two turnovers when Iowa was driving kept Purdue within striking distance.
This will of course be Purdue’s first road game of the season. Road trips in a normal year are difficult as routines are upset. In the Covid area, there are additional challenges with hotels and dining outside the norm. There won’t be the normal crowd noise so communication shouldn’t be a problem.
This will be Purdue’s first foray on artificial turf this season.
Weather predicted for Saturday is sunny with a high of 58, 10% chance of rain and 9mph winds. Pretty much a perfect football Saturday.
Last year’s win gave the Illini a one game advantage in the all-time head to head W-L record. That and last year’s performance should leave a bad taste in the mouth of the Boilermakers.
The old adage is that teams improve the most between Game 1 and Game 2 of the season. Both teams have room for improvement, the team that improves the most likely will be the winner.
