The defense wasn’t great, and occasionally it was poor last Saturday but at a minimum, Purdue is doing a better job of stopping big plays. We’re going to need a better performance out of this unit if we want to upset a team and make a bowl game, but for now, the bend and slowly break defense we saw against Nebraska is an improvement over the break immediately defense we put on the field to start the year.
Let’s hope the bye week brings even more improvement.
Defensive Line
Purdue won, but that wasn’t a confidence inspiring game from the defensive line.
