Purdue is much better than their record reflects.

I think the QB didn't start until the 3rd game?
Correct. They went to him in the Missou game and the offense exploded. Brohm made a comment after yesterday’s game that they played conservative their first 3 games... and you can see what that got them. It seems like they pivoted for the BC game and haven’t looked back. Credit Brohm for adjusting. Blame him for terrible personnel/strategy decisions coming out of the Summer. Either way, the lopsidedness of the Purdue loss seems to make a little more sense.
That said, it doesn’t minimize the shittiness of Daz. The fact that Brohm can do in year 2 what Daz can’t in year 5 is damning. The fact that BC has been in dogfights against Wake and played atrociously against RCC (who tried to give us the win) are still issues that can’t be ignored.
Nonetheless, at the end of the day, Temple and Purdue are significantly better than the “utter garbage” OOC schedule that we all assumed we had during the preseason.
