I mentioned in my defensive end article that Purdue doesn’t play an “aggressive” defense. They have been good on defense, but have mostly utilized a 3 or 4 man pass rush, underneath zone defense by the linebackers, and can coverage with safety help over the top on the outside. It’s worked well thus far, but keep in mind, Purdue has played some dreadful offenses. 3 of Purdue’s 5 opponents are in the bottom 100 (out of 130) in total offense. Notre Dame is in the 90s, and Oregon State is in the 40’s. Hardly a murderers” row.
