I want to thank y'all for this fascinating contribution to ranking the 2020 Big Ten linebacker units.

Did I miss the news where Hawk and Pos both came back to their alma maters to be asst coaches in charge of thus LB position and became relevant?

It's light hearted banter that has been going strong for 15 years.  If there's a linebacker thread...well...

It started when Pos dominated Hawk in the 2005 game, in which PSU beat OSU by a score of 17-10.
Make your mind up whack you were just babbling about the 2016.Hawk was sandbagging already got his NC.Then he was saving up for his Lombardi Trophy.Say tell me what year did POz win his NC or SB - asking for a friend

Maybe I'm just salty that all these new posts keep bringing me back to the 14th in the B1G ranking that you gave to my Boilermakers :03:

Heh well if it makes you feel better I like Diaco a lot and think Purdue will get it turned around, maybe even by this season. If they could catch some injury luck it would go a long way.

Hoping it gets turned around... Recruiting has been on an uptick but we're consistently "young" because the newest players are also the most talented, so they keep displacing--as under-experienced freshmen--less talented but more experienced upperclassmen. 

One interesting player missing is Jalen Graham. BTW it's understandable that he's missing because he's listed as a Safety, but I expect he'll be one of those hybrid S/LB type of players all over the field. He notched 8 starts last year as a true frosh and played in 11 games. One of those "he may not be perfectly ready but you can't keep him off the field" guys. 

Ourlads.com has him listed as the starting OLB on the 2-deeps, even though Purdue lists him as a Safety. 

We're expecting a big leap as he becomes a sophomore.

Much Like AJ Dodo's NFL career, this is very low effort.

It's a process.  But they are well coached and getting the talent in, the results will come.  The B1G has improved, so it's a rough time to try and break through, but as we saw with Minnesota, it can be done.  I'd like to see Purdue become more effective running the ball - that should ease up pressure on the passing game and defense.  126th in the country ain't gonna cut it.
