Purdue is just so darn inconsistent. Watching them at Wisconsin, they simply didn't come out ready to play at the start of the game and were quickly down 21-0. Wisky's 3-5-3 defense with constant pressure from all angles really caused problems for them early, and Parker needs to continue to dial up changes in the Iowa D and pressure to try to disrupt timing of the Boiler passing system. Even after being down 21-0, the Boilers outscored the Badgers 24-10 the rest of the way.
Prohm's most interesting comments: they understand the importance of getting ahead of Iowa early and will pull out all the stops to get a lead. For good reason, they don't see Iowa as a team that can come from behind and win. The other important comment was that Charlie Jones didn't practice all of last week, and is pretty nicked up. He's not a big guy, and watching him every game you can see that he's a step slower and was looking a little beat up prior to their bye week. Kind of unfortunate that the Hawks have to face him and O'Donnell after a bye week after he's had a chance to rest and get his legs back.
