I'm with you. 600 yards would be an outlier. If a game is in hand with 14+ points in mid 4th quarter, I'd expect we'd see more 2nd team players than ever since Purdue is trying to develop players and has more of a full two deep B1G roster.
Faircatches were more a function of return talent than scheme. We havent had a capable punt returner since frankie williams.
Rondale and Biagi only overlapped during the covid season. Rondale wasnt fully invested in playing that year.
So you do not think Brohm will consider AOC’s Heisman aspirations when determining who plays in a blowout?
I don’t. Think the key is to get the comfortable lead, get the win, keep AOC and some other key starters healthy to make it to the next game. Plus, our 2’s and 3’s will need all the game reps they can get. Just my opinion.
Well, Jack Mollenkopf was not a former QB, and was essentially a defensive minded coach, but when he had three Heisman candidates in four years he generally let them play most of the game regardless of the score.
He will do what he perceives to be best for the team currently and for the future.
Not as much as AOC’s potential for draft stock. Keeping him healthy and upright is equally important to having him elgible for draft. IMHO.
Wasn’t sure if this was TIC but he’s not even in the conversation currently. Vegas has odds on 14 QBs in the hunt and Aidan ain’t one of ‘em.
If Purdue goes 10-2 he is in the hunt. How high do you think Burrow was in Vegas? He was not in the top 28 in preseason and odds were 200-1
10-2 won't get him the Heisman. Sorry, it ain't gonna happen. The Heisman is Stroud's or Young's to lose. Just the way it is.
Williams is the only person that can crash the party
Burrow went undefeated and smashed SEC records.
Agreed. Just not sold on Lincoln Riley making that big of a turnaround in year one to get Williams there...
He will put up numbers and the media usually pumps good players from traditional powers.
Brees put up gaudy numbers and led Purdue to the first Rose Bowl in decades. And he wasn't really in serious consideration for the Heisman. Yeah, he got to go the ceremony. But he was never gonna win it.
Not intending to argue, but Purdue was only 8-3 and got their ass handed to them @MSU 2nd to last game of the year.
And when AOC surpasses Drew Brees level of play, we'll talk about the Heisman...
Having Milton Wright would have helped. I'm still amazed, that a guy who had serious NFL potential and the opportunity to earn millions $, can't figure out a way to manage a bunch of C- grades in a bunch of cupcake classes.
Those odds seem really optimistic. 4-1 might be the number if Purdue goes 10-2, which itself is maybe a 20-1 shot. There is a much better chance that Purdue wins <9 games, the offense sputters against good defenses, inclement weather rains on the Brohm-fense, etc. Based on history, the odds of a starting QB not making it through the season healthy is much greater than the odds of Purdue winning 10 games.
4:1 odds he is one of the 4 finalists? You know there are actually Vegas odds on the heisman and he is +10000 and there are 34 players with better odds. If all you all really believe he has a chance you’re not putting your money where your mouth is.
I’ve got a $50 ticket with those odds @MGM that he wins. The other 2 books I went to wouldn’t make odds on him making NY.
