This was a week where pretty much everyone expected a Purdue win. If even Darrell Hazell could beat FCS teams on the regular surely Jeff Brohm would get the job done. Even after last week I expected a comfortable win.
Well, we got it. In fact, it was nearly a perfect game for Purdue. When you defer the kickoff and recover a fumble on the first play from scrimmage that is about the best start you could ask for. In the only other shutout of the Jeff Brohm era Purdue had to sweat through a couple of UConn possessions that got into Purdue territory and a three and out last year.
