Yes, we were boys among men yesterday but come on at least play hard. Physically, we do not even look like a Big 10 team. Since Big 10 play with the exception of Rutgers we have been physically dominated. We are not disciplined enough or strong enough to compete. A couple of observations;
Defense
- Do not have physical talent to play Lovie's defense, need to change now or we will not win another game.
- We do not tackle well, too many broken tackles. Miss B. Williams and athletic LB's.
- We continue to be outcoached, no adjustments, opposing teams out scheme us and outplay us
- I do not think we can put enough lipstick on this pig.
- Too many players taking snaps off, seem to quit as game progresses.
Offense
- Really miss Mikey Dudek!!! He was our Randell Moore, made plays and was tough to defend. Receivers cannot get separation and too many drops. Where is the TE?
- AJ seems confused, does not see the field well, tough to find an open receiver when no separation or under pressure.
- Teams are stacking the box, OL overwhelmed and have regressed. Need to find a WR in passing game who can get open take teams out of playing 7 and 8 man in the box.
- We are a slow team. Not enough athleticism on either side of the ball but most glaring at the WR position.
Purdue better team than expected, what a difference the their new head coach has made. Probably inherited more talent but has recruited well, great scheme, recruited well and that team play hard on every single play. This Illinois team has quit on Lovie!!!!
