The No. 21-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers (4-0) welcome the Purdue Boilermakers (2-2) to Huntington Bank Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 1, at 11 a.m.
Can Purdue score on offense?
By now, with head coach Jeff Brohm in his sixth year at Purdue, Gopher fans should be more than familiar with the Boilermakers’ style of offense. Brohm’s teams have had prolific passing games dating back to his days at Western Kentucky, relying on a combination of play fakes, motions, and formations to disguise route concepts designed to get their playmakers the ball in space.
Minnesota defensive coordinator Joe Rossi’s approach against Brohm’s Boilermakers has been to concede that they are going to pile up passing yards.
