Brohmfence 101 - Dig Route

Related Topics: Jeff Brohm, Manhattan, Kyle Bilodeau

As the season rapidly approaches, I thought it would be interesting to break down some of the common plays you see out of Jeff Brohm and the Purdue offense. Brohm’s playbook is as thick as the Manhattan phone book (a dated reference no doubt) but there are some staple plays in both the run and pass game.

The first play we’re going to check out is the dig route. Brohm likes this play on 3rd down because it gives the quarterback several options, and a long window to potentially complete a pass.

This dig route (or square in) helped Purdue pick up momentum on offense in their first drive against Arizona.
