OMG...he's a young player. The offensive players practice too. The first touchdown was offensive pass interference...it wasn't called. He's a freshmen with a huge upside. Why he was in man coverage alot today against their receivers...is a question for Phil Parker.
Your anger is misplaced.

What the F else are you going to do?
Not blitz and let Blough have a half hour to throw? Look what he did having to deal with a blitz.
Your job as a Big Ten coach is to have 2 capable DBs out there. If you don’t, someone either failed coaching or recruiting.

coaches didn't agree with you - he was not in on the last few drives.... maybe the entire 4th quarter.

So.....
Your suggestion would be we play zone against Knox and Moore? That makes zero sense. I love Phil Parker but not having two serviceabyDBs on the field issue responsibility. This is a P5 team. You don’t compete with guys that can only play zone. That’s NAIA ball.

He had a rough day, but he was rarely beaten badly. The throws were absolutely perfect on 2 of the tds.

Bower was more than solid. Not as good as the two starting NFL LBs he played with, but pretty good.
Never understood why folks thought he wasnt good.
Then either way, it’s coaching and recruiting

He's shown he can play man...I'm saying they got single coverage on the outside alot. You don't have to play zone...but when you give Purdue that one on one match up...you can cheat a safety over and steal one. You don't have to play zone. You give the one on one look with Moss, but you help him with a safety...and let someone leave someone else on the island. He was going up against a senior all day...give him some help. You knew the ball was going there.

by the time he was a Senior...we was OK. Watch the film before that...out of position and caught up in the pile way too often.

My bad, I thought he had gotten a start. if hes a backup in the NFL, point remains the same.

Most teams scheme to attack an opposing teams weakness.
They knew we were young in secondary and attacked. It paid off.
Once 11 came in, Purdue attacked the other side.
What does Iowa do on either side ?
What they always do.

Exactly. If you have to not blitz AND double team, you are basically playing 10 vs. 9 IF we have no one free, because our 2 are going to take out their 1 (one would hope) but somewhere there is an open man and they will exploit it by having an extra receiver open or an extra blocker and they'd run it down our throats. Brohm was calling plays from the LOS after he read our defense. That would have been like preschool for him.
Also, I thought OJ did a nice job today. Would like to see him get another chance.
