There’s no way around it, Deacon Hill didn’t look good against Purdue. Whether is was fastballs firing over the heads of receivers or wide open targets ignored for double-covered tight ends, what we saw a week ago from Hill was a step down from what we saw out of him when he came on in relief of Cade McNamara against Michigan State.
The stats tell a similar story with Hill completing more than 40% of his passes against the Spartans despite a flurry of drops (6!!) by his receivers while dropping below 30% against the Boilermakers.
