We need a pass rush.
In those five words I have summed up the biggest problem for Purdue during the Darrell Hazell era. Over the past two decades Purdue has sent countless defensive ends to the NFL. Ryan Kerrigan was the latest big name and he just GOT PAID, but one of the biggest problems when he was at Purdue was the other 10 guys on the field struggled. We never had good linebackers with him and the secondary was often left out to dry because of it.
Now Purdue has the pieces in the back seven and some good defensive tackles, but there has been virtually no pass rush.
