Purdue lost 66-7 and have a DE named Shitta Sillah!

Figured I would get all the names in one place.

Have to also think Wisconsin's two commits will take officials this same weekend:

This a POOR excuse for a defense! First off, running a 2-4-5 isn't conducive for recruiting DL's. Second, unless we have TERRIFIC LB's we're never generating any pass rush. Our DB's have been very good so far, but with almost NO pass rush, how long will that last? I know that Tressel and Fick have a long history, but does Fick still see him as the best guy for the job? If this same defense shows up next week, I can see Bama running for 300+

It would appear Locke is done for the season.

Blaz just said on the Luke Fickell show that Joe Thomas stopped by this week to talk to the team. Any other alumni that we're aware that have paid a visit or will be visiting this week?

Apologies if this has been addressed in another thread.

Not many teams have been able to do it. It will not be easy and inevitably, he will get his.

But if you want to slow him down, the first thing you gotta do is contain him. Don’t let him get outside the pocket with some sort of contain defense.
The second thing you have to do is spy him all game. Someone has to go everywhere he goes all game, maybe two at times.

The last thing is play zone and have 9 guys with eyes on the quarterback and 2 deep safeties to not get beat deep. Add in some zone blitzes to keep pressure on him and pray he gets rattled and throws a couple to the defense.
None of that will be easy, but it’s your best chance to slow him down and make him dink and dunk you down the field.

With Phil Longos offense their needs to be chemistry. Do the recievers and Van Dyke have it? Thoughts?

Even in a 49-14 win (https://wvsportsnow.com/wvu-proves-too-much-for-albany-as-mountaineers-secure-first-win-of-season/), a glaring weakness for WVU was exposed. The Great Danes actually had an historic day against the West Virginia defense. By throwing for 306 yards, Albany quarterback Myles Burkett led his team to accumulating the most passing yards any FCS opponent ever has against WVU. In fact, Albany becomes the first FCS program to ever reach and surpass 300 yards through the air against the Mountaineers
