True, and our offense played well enough to win 4 games this year with the defense we had, guess who won? |

What was our 3rd down percentage , cause it always seemed to me that we could never get off the field. |

The Big Ten had three quarterbacks in the Top 50 in passing yards per game. Curtis Painter was one of them. As you can see by Purdue's record, a good passing defense doesn't win many games in a run-happy Big Ten. |

That stat has been puzzling me.... 3rd Down Conversion Defense: #35 Purdue Attempts against: 169 Successful conversions: 60 It certainly did not seem like opponents were only 35.7% successful on 3rd down.... 4th Down Conversion Defense: # T-51 Purdue 45.5% Attempts against: 22 Successful conversions: 10 |

Its called "fan overreaction". After going to every game for the 4 years prior to this one and including the two games I went to this year and reading two or three different Purdue boards, everything bad that happens within the football program (from in game to recruiting to anything) gets blown up and talked about ad naseum. Anything positive rarely gets talked about and is seemingly just expected. Case in point, if our defense stops the other teams offense on 3rd down 6 out of 10 times, our fans like to bitch about the 4 we didn't stop. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

That might be true but it just seemed that when we needed a stop we didnt get one. But those stats arent that bad, i could live with those. As for Spack i never had a big problem with him. I just hope we can find someone decent. |

I'm just saying, with a decent offense, our defense did well enough to win 9 games. We gave up 10 to Northern Colorado, the defense only gave up 22 before OT against Oregon (punt return TD and the FG in OT, also forced 4 TOs), 25 points to CMU, 20 to PSU, 9 to OSU (blocked punt for a TD), 17 to Minnesota, 14 to MSU (INT return for a TD for MSU in that game), 22 to Iowa, and 10 to IU. Defense was far from Purdue's problems this year. Special teams and an inept offense were much worse, and I'd even say in 9 of the 12 games, the defense exceeded expectations. |
