What's going to be different against Purdue?
They will stack the box and overwhelm the OL, and Riley will run for his life or throw another tomato can.
Marcus is lost and panicking.

Golden’s defense will be ordered to keep Purdue under 10 points or he isn’t being retained
We do make adjustments. Just not the ones most others d
In seriousness, any changes this week are useless if it’s not permanent. The idea was to NOT lose the NIU game, not learn from that loss to avoid it happening again.
Freeman is white noise until he proves something has changed in him and the team
Ordered by whom? MF or you?

Any capable person can make sure stuff doesn’t happen twice. avoiding the first one
Is where the skill is
Problem is other stuff creeps up.
Which goes to your second point.
Even the best coaches of all time lost games.

True. But not to less talented teams on an annual basis.

Bingo. That's the problem. The same issue keeps arising with a different face on it.

There are deep seated issues here. It’s almost like winning a big game is a priority. Not the long
Haul improvement. Cultural issue of some sort within the program
The World's Largest Drum...
Have zero confidence in Freeman now. Any result possible...
There will be a sense of urgency to avenge the humiliating loss. ND wins by 20+.

If they are starting Leonard , they better run the ball every down
And quit expecting him to be Tom Brady.
A chance of rain.

Different from what? TA&M or NIU?
This team is bipolar.
They have more film on us than our previous opponent, plus a bye week to focus on us.

Oh and don't forget their drum..apparently they are all Braveheart mode over not being able to bring
it into ND Stadium anymore, so expect them to be pounding on that thing extra hard.
Indeed - I have always thought that the Boilers always pound it extra hard.

They're supposed to be engineers. Design a collapsible drum that fits through the visitor's tunnel.
Nobody takes on a challenge these days...
A tweak here or there but largely nothing.

None of us really know what to expect since O,D, SP & coaching failed.
Is Leonard battling a shoulder injury (or two)? How will the analytics guy tell MF how to dress? Will we try to run the ball or be a 3 yard and hope to gain 8 kind of, sort of passing type team? Do we trust our FG unit if it comes down to it? Will our D continue to subscribe to the bend then break on 3rd and long philosophy? Boilers had two weeks to figure this out and I wonder if they will follow the copycat rule and do what NIU was successful doing? Will the A&M Irish show up or will it be the NIU Irish that we will see? My gut feeling that is not based on anything tells me the guys will be ready to play.
Agree on all this.

I wondered about Leonard's shoulder too, especially the way he took a beating on that first drive.
He did throw some strong, long throw required out patterns so I was less worried, but then that obnoxious, sickening, weak effort on the long pass that was picked scared me. Besides it being a stupid decision following a stupid call.
I watched the first drive, and thought Oh S--t this going to be bad if
they plan on running him this much, maybe they know he really is a mediocre passer
