Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

No surprise on the spread, but yeah, this will be a rough opener.

Getting pressure to Jackson is the recipe to throw the Ville off their game.  Purdue has an outside shot with the best LB crew we've seen in WL in years.

And of course everyone is hoping that Brohm has the offense at least capable of being a threat.

Formerly MisterBlack.  Cheers everyone!

Can't believe they've only played once.

I'm thinking like 58-10, especially if Blough's shoulder makes him a scratch.

There are concerns from some LVille fans about the DL.  Apparently not a lot of experience up front, but the depth is a lot of freshman and sophomore.  Looks like LB has young depth as well.  If Purdue can put together an OL they may be able to run the ball and control the clock.

Louisville big. Lamar Jackson is a one man freak show. He will basically do whatever he wants whenever he wants this game.

think the knock on Lamar Jackson come NFL draft time will be his body. Don't know what he's listed at, but much like the last big time Louisville QB- Teddy Bridgewater- he looks like a QB in a WR's body- long, lean, slender. Not every QB prospect is going to be built like a Cam Newton or Big Ben, those are rare breeds, but usually 1st round QBs are at least built like Brady (now- not combine Brady) or Rodgers. Have to be built to take the pounding of a 16 game NFL season plus pre-season and playoffs.

Well, that was nice. Even in a loss, the team looked competitive. 

Question is who is our QB going forward? Blough looked crisp, throwing for just under 70% completion rate, and putting the ball on target in general. But he threw 2 picks. Sindelar looked terrible early, but better when he came into the game late. He's got a cannon for an arm but had trouble with accuracy. 

And can we get the running game on track? With our stable of great RBs, we need to be able to run.

Is it too early to say I love this coaching staff?  After only 1 game it seems obvious that Brohm + co. are a MAJOR upgrade from Hazel.  He gets it.  He gets max effort from his players.  It was sloppy, but fun to watch.  I have no doubt Brohm was the right hire.  

Special teams needs a ton of work.  Punt and kick coverage was bad.  Jones fumbled a kick return.  There were a couple fielded kicks that should have went out of bounds.

OL was surprisingly good, at least better than the last few years.  QBs had time to throw.  Run game needs more use/work.  I can't wait to see this pass game by mid season.  Brohms scheme will work once everyone is on the same page.  I love the vertical pass game.  QBs need to make better decisions, 4 picks won't cut it, should come with experience in the system.  Looks like we have a QB controversy now.  I think Blough is the better leader, while Sindelar throws a better ball.

Even though the defense was shredded by Jackson, they made crucial plays at key times.  Front 7 was disruptive, I really think they are vastly underrated.  2 forced fumbles were huge.  Covering the middle of the field is still a problem.  

This was a sloppy game by both teams.  Purdue was only a couple key plays from winning this game (Phillips dropped a sure TD that was perfectly thrown, Blough pick 6 swing the momentum).  The same could also be said for Louisville though.

I think I already have a bromance for DC Nick Holt.  Dude is a bad ass, constantly fired up and getting on his players.  He's so much of a bad ass he doesn't need a mustache at Purdue, or any hair for that matter.

Hang on, this is going to be a fun rebuild.
