Iowa football: Purdue wants to strike early with big plays

Losing to Purdue is frustrating. In the years since Hayden Fry joined the Iowa football program and created a culture that is still strong today, Purdue has been mostly inept at beating the Hawks, except for the last two seasons.

Under Jeff Brohm, Purdue is undefeated against the Iowa football team, and where teams like Michigan and Penn State just use their superior defensive line to dominate the interior offensive line of Iowa, Purdue deploys a different strategy.

They want to strike early and often with big plays.

Which they’ve been successful in the last two years in doing.
