Purdue’s Biggest Hurdle vs Michigan

Related Topics: lineman

I know, we’re all excited about the somewhat marque matchup tomorrow. I will warn you though, Purdue faces it’s toughest challenge of the season on the offensive line Saturday.

While somewhat overmatched, in terms of recruiting, by both Louisville and Missouri on the offensive line, the gap wasn’t this daunting. When you get down to it, both Louisville and Missouri are finesse teams, and neither has a particularly dominant defensive line.

Michigan, on the other hand, is the first team on the schedule that is going to attempt to club Purdue’s offense to death with their line play, and on paper, they have more than enough talent to accomplish that goal.
