A Triple Purdue Report with Jake Dunn (3.124) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

0:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You are listening to another special double edition of the Purdue Report with Jake Dunn as football and basketball overlap here.
0:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's only on the East Central Indiana Sports Report.
0:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome Purdue fans of the Central Indiana Sports Report with Jake Dunn.
0:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Jake, we're going to talk to basketball and football as Purdue football lost on Saturday night, basketball lost on Monday night to completely different situations.
0:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sounds great.
0:39
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
0:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I, uh, my confidence meter Jake was very, very low after the exhibition season.
0:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I said all in our last Purdue report.
0:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even think it was probably an NCAA tournament team.
0:52
[SPEAKER_00]: But after Monday night, I've changed quite a bit.
0:55
[SPEAKER_00]: It's particularly a Daniel Jake ups and plays like that.
0:58
[SPEAKER_00]: If you place like that every night, there's no doubt an NCAA tournament team and probably a team that could make some noise.
1:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of other things I liked about the game as well.
1:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Some things I didn't like in particular, the shot selection, which I assume will get better.
1:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and just a week or two, my confidence has risen.
1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I shouldn't be surprised Matt Painter does this all the time.
1:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I came away pretty confident as well.
1:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I was pretty confident for the, you know, before the season started, you know, even after the you caught a game when what you all seemed seemingly were was writing pretty well off.
1:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I was, yeah, for Purdue showed here that, you know, it can compete with an experienced Gonzaga team and they may not be experienced together, but individually, that they have a lot of experience.
1:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Very talented team.
1:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, definitely a high level team.
1:54
[SPEAKER_02]: We did see some of the same concerns, kind of come up again that we saw in the UConn game, but the difference this time, I think is this Purdue, was able to execute a lot better offensively, they rebounded or competitively as well.
2:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And then as you mentioned, Dean O'Chick is an adequate game.
2:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, even if he doesn't play that well, every game, I've been impressed with his progress before the,
2:19
[SPEAKER_02]: season.
2:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I had said that think that he's still a year or two away from being really good, but he may be a little bit better now than what I was hoping.
2:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it wasn't just the stats, which were really nice.
2:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the movement without the ball.
2:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He was finding open spaces and his teammates were finding him again against it.
2:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he was
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Gonzaga's particularly big, but they are a very well-rounded basketball team that's going to make some noise this year.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: They had two or three guys that were really, really good and I was
2:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Purdue was going a lot deeper.
2:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They were playing 10 guys and looks like Painter still experimenting with some line ups.
3:03
[SPEAKER_00]: He did a couple of line changes where he had the entire second team on the floor.
3:08
[SPEAKER_00]: At times and I liked it.
3:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I liked what I saw from the bench in particular.
3:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought pretty much everybody played off the bench contributed positively.
3:19
[SPEAKER_00]: and Caden Pierce is a clear Purdue guy.
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: He does the right things.
3:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Lack some athleticism, but typical Purdue guy who sets the picks moves without the ball, moves the ball well.
3:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And I also think they have a go-to score and CJ Cox, they just need to use them more and have better shot selection and run through him and Jacobson.
3:43
[SPEAKER_02]: And you mentioned came here.
3:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Sarah, I wrote like what he saw from him.
3:47
[SPEAKER_02]: You did have a nice dunk.
3:48
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he is pretty athletic.
3:51
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we had just not like his brother.
3:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, I guess if you're comparing them to his brother, then yeah, that is athletic.
3:59
[SPEAKER_02]: But this is the first time that Purdue has lost a season opener game since the 2012 to 2013 season.
4:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you guess who they lost to that year?
4:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, it's been a long time, 12, 13.
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say Butler.
4:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're close with the name, Bucknell.
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, like, kind of surprised me a little bit.
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I said on the 10-minute report today, a rare season opening loss.
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew it had been a long time.
4:34
[SPEAKER_00]: That wouldn't surprise me a little bit.
4:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for sure.
4:37
[SPEAKER_02]: And obviously, very different levels of competition, they're both obviously the opponent.
4:44
[SPEAKER_02]: multiple weeks and mountains.
4:45
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't better than that than they were back then.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I consider this when I win Jake.
4:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I really do particularly after that.
4:53
[SPEAKER_00]: You come game where they just looked so out of place and so lost most of the game.
4:59
[SPEAKER_00]: They were not that the effort was very good.
5:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say they need to have Daniel Jacobson setting less picks.
5:05
[SPEAKER_00]: because he moves on almost all of them and I love the effort of setting picks and that's one of my favorite things about basketball as the team worked to do that, but he has just got to not do any picks up way too many fouls on those moving screens.
5:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Dino Jacobson avoiding foul trouble will be a huge thing to watch this year when he did foul.
5:27
[SPEAKER_02]: The three-point shooter, I think I was a third or fourth foul but he immediately had to come out of the game and then we saw
5:35
[SPEAKER_02]: kind of on a little bit of a run whenever he was out of the game.
5:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Inzo Schauvron came in.
5:39
[SPEAKER_02]: He did not really look like he understood or knew what he was doing out there.
5:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I like his energy and I like his activity and got his hands on some balls on defense.
5:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to fit in once you figure that out.
5:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I think so too.
5:57
[SPEAKER_02]: And maybe this is naive on my part, but I was just hoping he'd be a little bit better having played professionally in France.
6:04
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, not saying that I was struggling to be a super starry thing, but in his eight minutes, get four turnovers, two fouls and two points.
6:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And two of his turnovers were pretty silly, like a travel and a double-turbo.
6:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Those were pretty silly turnovers that wouldn't really expect an older experience guy who's played professionally in a turnover way too.
6:23
[SPEAKER_00]: But he looked a little out of sorts.
6:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, I think he's still getting used to the system, so again, he used to have this new level of competition.
6:32
[SPEAKER_02]: His mistake stayed allow, Rally Burgers to get an opportunity.
6:35
[SPEAKER_02]: If Angel was playing well and a big contributor there, we may not have even seen Rally Burgers at all.
6:41
[SPEAKER_02]: We also didn't see Jacob Weber at all in this game, a guy who we saw if he had some decent playing time, the exhibition season.
6:48
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think Purdue or Matt Painters is still figuring out a little bit who to play and everything,
6:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I think when it comes down to things we'll see, you know, who Matt Paine are really trust and you know, it's actually gonna be key part of the team this season.
7:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Particularly the first four off the bench, there's no doubt those got to be the first four off the bench.
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And so might be a question with Raleigh Burgess, but other than that, those four are real, I like all four of those guys.
7:14
[SPEAKER_00]: You could put any four of them in the starting lineup.
7:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I think so too.
7:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's kind of the beauty of things you'll be able to have these games early on in the season and pretty much the producer and competitive.
7:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Theoretically, the Gonzaga was ranked 15th, so theoretically, this potential sweet 16 type of matchup location had kind of a, you know, a little high for around the game, obviously, being in the first game of the year and to be in a big game.
7:39
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's definitely an NCAA tournament type of environment type of games and I'm pretty hungry for sure.
7:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, exactly and prove hung in there was competitive.
7:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, they definitely could have won the game If they take some better shots a few times here a few times there a couple shots go in they definitely could have won that game
7:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely, Purdue airball.
8:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think three threes took towards the end of regulation there.
8:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's just something you don't see very often.
8:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And at least two of the three were just horrible shots that didn't need to be taken at all.
8:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, I think speaking of shots that didn't need to be taken.
8:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Omar Meyer was enforcing up some shots throughout the game.
8:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think
8:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Matt, they replied, rain that in a little bit, um, so it was the same way in the exhibition season two with him.
8:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
8:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He does a lot of good things, but he takes a lot of bad shots.
8:33
[SPEAKER_02]: There's certainly some things to be disappointed about, but I think.
8:36
[SPEAKER_02]: what I'm most disappointed about in this game is it's like it produced and have the opportunity to win here.
8:40
[SPEAKER_02]: There's some things like missing free throws, taking poor shots or airballing, you know, shots.
8:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if produce is tired or, you know, for what, but I think that's the season goes on.
8:51
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see this team continue to join and continue to get better.
8:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that is kind of the map painter specialty by the end of the year, the ball and the player movement is kind of like music not last year in particular, but the year's prior to that.
9:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything flowed smoothly and that's been the exact opposite here earlier in the year, but much better, much much better on Monday, a lot better player movement, lot better ball movement, not as many dumb shots, not even close, compared to the Yukon game, I bet there were a third the number of bad shots in this game.
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a positive side.
9:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for sure.
9:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And from the perimeter in the UConn game, they were two of 24.
9:36
[SPEAKER_02]: And the anxiety game, they were 521.
9:38
[SPEAKER_02]: So not not much better, but definitely still better.
9:42
[SPEAKER_02]: You made three more shots and three fewer attempts there.
9:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I still think this is, you know, still a good, you know, three point shooting team.
9:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is
9:55
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to get better as a season goes on yet had a few airballs there if you make if you make one of those you're looking at six for 21 and certainly get that central a little bit better, but yeah, I think Purdue has several players who are.
10:11
[SPEAKER_02]: came full of making difficult shots.
10:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I was selling Anton West in a couple of pretty difficult shots for he created his own shot and particularly in the mid-range and they were contested to.
10:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw some pull-up threes and Daniel Jacobs and I was really impressed with him and he had kind of a play where he was almost kind of driving to the basket and he kind of put it up there off the glass and something that I hadn't really seen him do at all.
10:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
10:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know there's a concentration issue
10:41
[SPEAKER_02]: to those bad shots or some of those difficult shots, they could team's gonna need to understand, you know, when to take the difficult shots, when to move a ball and try to create a better opportunity, when to attack the basket, when it comes reset the offense.
10:57
[SPEAKER_02]: But in terms of efficiency, per day it was a lot better on offense, per day definitely improved, it's offensive execution here in this game.
11:10
[SPEAKER_02]: 091 points per possession compared to gets ucon offensive efficiency and they had 0.803 points per possession against ucon, which not great numbers.
11:22
[SPEAKER_02]: So improving there, we talked about the rebounding as well, Peru was a lot more competitive there.
11:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Perus defensive rebounding percentage was 70 and a half percent the average from last season was about 72 percent so pretty on par at least last year with with Perno compare that to Yukon the Yukon game produced defensive rebounding percentage was about 58 percent so
11:54
[SPEAKER_02]: quite quite an improvement down the glass.
11:56
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think if they can continue against bigger teams, it's better, potentially more physical teams like in Zaga, if for you can be competitive on the glass, I think it's certainly going to give them an opportunity to win more games like this.
12:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, Jake, give a few extra minutes to make this a triple because I want to talk some
12:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of which, please check out my 10-minute report every day on the, well, almost every day.
12:29
[SPEAKER_00]: On the Central Indiana Sports Report, typically six A.M. for your drive to work on soundcloud spotify appolar Amazon, maybe a little bit later on YouTube, 10 minutes, talking about what Central Indiana Sports fans are talking about, Purdue, the Pacers, Colts, fever, indie car, even that other team down south.
12:50
[SPEAKER_00]: small colleges and high school sports, if Central Indiana sports fans are talking about it.
12:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about it every day, almost every day, on the 10-minute report.
13:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I also want to talk a little bit about the Big Ten as Purdue heads into five games they should win here in a row.
13:11
[SPEAKER_00]: What we saw from the Big Ten last night and IU, in particular the scores and
13:19
[SPEAKER_00]: what we can take away from that.
13:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But first I want to talk about Braidin Smith, who started for the Pacers last night, played 40 minutes until he cramped the late in the game.
13:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Almost played the entire game as the Pacers had just six players available, just ridiculous.
13:36
[SPEAKER_00]: That's something for the Pacers report, Jake, but, oh, was fantastic.
13:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Just double double, tennisists.
13:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And in fact, they probably blew three or four
13:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He is without question and NBA point guard on the offensive end of the floor.
13:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So the question is, can he be a NBA point guard on the defensive end of the floor?
13:59
[SPEAKER_00]: But what he did last night and his first ever extended time in the NBA was really impressive.
14:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
14:07
[SPEAKER_02]: And first of all, it's pretty crazy, but.
14:09
[SPEAKER_02]: the eighth game in the season, a team is in a position where they only have six players available to play the whole game.
14:15
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know if the NBA is going to have to do something about dab, like that's just something that I think doesn't happen a lot of it.
14:23
[SPEAKER_02]: It shouldn't really happen, but I'm glad Brainsmith had a great game obviously.
14:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he definitely kind of showed up some haters that were really doubting him and his ability to along in the NBA.
14:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this
14:37
[SPEAKER_02]: shows that he definitely is capable.
14:38
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a close game.
14:39
[SPEAKER_02]: The Pacers 6 will call them, but they almost beat this pretty decent at Wayne Hawks team.
14:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe they were the Hawks are missing their best player, but still, you know, six players against a team that's only missing a few, it's pretty impressive.
14:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I watched a little bit of it, particularly at what's the Purdue game ended.
14:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Watch the end.
14:58
[SPEAKER_02]: of the Pacers game.
14:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was really impressed with their their flight.
15:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that you could tell they wanted to win.
15:03
[SPEAKER_02]: You could tell that they they cared and won the game.
15:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And the best thing about a Jake is we found out that Quentin Jackson is for sure an NBA player.
15:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for sure.
15:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I did buy the NBA league pass the season.
15:15
[SPEAKER_02]: So I could watch more Pacers basketball.
15:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I have been tuned in a little bit more.
15:24
[SPEAKER_02]: NBA for the past few years.
15:25
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm open to to get kind of back into that back horn two and a least with the Pacers anyway.
15:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So I did buy that didn't be a league pass.
15:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've been watching a few games and I think Quentin Jackson been really impressed with with him and his tinier with the Pacers so far.
15:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Pacers are kind of like brilliant.
15:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Pacers have a lot of guards that can play.
15:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
15:45
[SPEAKER_02]: And they need some more guys who can create their own shot.
15:54
[SPEAKER_02]: and create their own shot, especially with tie-reason and Su-Bok-Hurb, that Paysers are kind of struggling a little bit, but it was very inspired to see their effort and particularly brain-smith his success and his first ever NBA game.
16:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I did hear as well in the broadcast Jeremiah Johnson said something about how PJ Thompson had told brain-smith that he was one of the 10 shortest
16:21
[SPEAKER_02]: NBA players ever, you know, and all of them be histories, you know, when they came out of front two inches from the college, the NBA.
16:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think, obviously physically, it was kind of something with Carson Edwards.
16:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Carson Edwards was a great offensive player and the NBA had a fan full of really big performances for the Celtics, but he was just a liability on defense and he didn't last very long.
16:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Brad Smith could be the same exact way where he has the offensive skills, no
16:48
[SPEAKER_02]: but on the defensive side, he just can't hold his own.
16:51
[SPEAKER_02]: That'll be something that, yeah, that'll be something that I guess we'll have to see if he can get better at.
16:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I do think, and maybe this is kind of a mystical remembering.
17:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I do think in his freshman and sophomore years, you know, it wouldn't bring, wasn't as much the focal point of the offense I guess for Purdue.
17:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't feel like he was a pre-OK defender.
17:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he does some things well defensively,
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets his hands on balls, he moves well, but he's just so small that it's just, they're just in the NBA, they're just gonna use that against you over and over.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And there've been some guys who've overcome that and they've been so good defensively that they've overcome it, including a couple guys in the NBA right now, who are pretty good defenders because of their effort, their movement, even though they're short, so it's possible.
17:45
[SPEAKER_00]: but it's going to be tough for him by its way.
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: The boom with him and Rinkmass, that's going to be fun.
17:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I will be home for Thanksgiving and also around Christmas time.
17:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm really hoping to go see him play there.
17:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully the basers can get healthy enough where they don't need brainsmith to necessarily be there with them.
18:04
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I'm excited to go and try and catch a few Noah's old boom games.
18:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, here's what I've learned about the Big Ten and has nothing to do with any of the games that happened last night.
18:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is the two rookies from Michigan in the NBA are so damn good that that might have been the reason Michigan was good.
18:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And that might be the only reason and they might not be very good this year because of you see what you actually win the board is doing.
18:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I've seen seem kind of run in his mouth a little bit to with that look a dodge edge, but yeah, he's I've seen he's played pretty well enough here to kind of back that up.
18:43
[SPEAKER_02]: It's awesome alert to my phone that he had like 30 or 40 points or whatever you're given night and he's playing a lot better than I thought he would be playing
18:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And Mara has cracked the thunder rotation even before Williams got her as a rookie for the best franchise in the NBA.
19:00
[SPEAKER_00]: The best roster in the NBA was already getting minutes and now that Williams is out, that guys really, really good too.
19:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe we don't have to worry about Michigan this year.
19:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I hope not.
19:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I have not and I don't this isn't just started like any of the explicit games I did not much anybody else.
19:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I watched I watched a little bit.
19:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I
19:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I didn't know their plan honestly until I somebody texted me about it.
19:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I asked them for their plan.
19:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I asked them for their plan.
19:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I said to Eastern Illinois.
19:31
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, oh, that's probably why I didn't, I didn't know.
19:34
[SPEAKER_02]: They were on their plan.
19:36
[SPEAKER_02]: But there's big 10 plus in the way.
19:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
19:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
19:38
[SPEAKER_02]: So, which I do have that by the way.
19:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, watch a little bit of the Arizona UCLA game.
19:44
[SPEAKER_02]: UCLA from, I, I stopped watching the halftime.
19:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Excited good bed, but it was, uh, UCLA, what's really good?
19:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I think,
19:54
[SPEAKER_02]: even if they played yet, but USC I think is going to be, you know, the team is pretty good.
19:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe maybe that's true, do you hear that every year?
20:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they have the potential to be good, Nebraska, I was really surprised that they weren't ranked, like they could be good, Jacobson's awfully good.
20:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Minnesota.
20:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it could be pretty decent that they might be kind of a sleeper team.
20:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they they remember correctly.
20:18
[SPEAKER_02]: They may be waiting on their their best player from last year.
20:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I am I'm Lincoln on his name right now.
20:27
[SPEAKER_02]: But he I think was trying to fight for an extra year of eligibility baby.
20:31
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll see he comes back.
20:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they'll be they'll be really good.
20:38
[SPEAKER_02]: a couple years ago, transferred to Minnesota.
20:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I can see his face, I can't remember his name.
20:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's not going to matter until he comes into Mackey and likes for do up to like 30.
20:47
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, that's right.
20:49
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll know them.
20:50
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll remember his name then, but yeah, they could be kind of sleep routine.
20:54
[SPEAKER_02]: This year, the Brastow House year is my sleep routine.
20:57
[SPEAKER_02]: This year, you know, they're a little bit more stylish, a little bit more we'll know.
21:01
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think USC and Minnesota might be kind of my sleep
21:07
[SPEAKER_00]: there are two teams at the top.
21:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think there's any doubt that are separate from everybody else and that is Illinois and Michigan State.
21:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless UCLA is actually good enough to be in Arizona team by nine.
21:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I'm just counting UCLA.
21:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But to me, it looks like Michigan State and Illinois are far in a way the best two teams.
21:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
21:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
21:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks, so as well.
21:30
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Jake.
21:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's talk some football.
21:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
21:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's do it.
21:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Jake knows a fun extra segment there.
21:44
[SPEAKER_00]: This one is not going to be nearly as fun.
21:48
[SPEAKER_00]: The worst thing about what's happening with Purdue football right now is we saw the positive signs and since then they played their two worst games a year.
22:00
[SPEAKER_02]: just to have.
22:01
[SPEAKER_02]: This is pretty much a must-win here.
22:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you've got a really struggling Maryland team coming to West Laugh yet for homecoming.
22:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Purdue is favored at least the early line was at six and a half.
22:14
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, favored by, you know, touchdown, essentially, I Purdue and Barry Odomy really need this one to get back on track.
22:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Coach Odom is talked about
22:26
[SPEAKER_02]: press conferences about the importance of playing meaningful football in November, where in November now, and this is where kind of produce season is going to be decided, making a ball game, probably is as a long shot, even at 5 and 7, still may not make a ball game, after a back to back, disappointing performances and losses to Washington and Penn State.
22:49
[SPEAKER_02]: This is definitely
22:53
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a four and five and give yourself chance to make a late season push, although it'd be very unlikely.
22:59
[SPEAKER_02]: But the margin of errors, basically gone, pretty has to win, dead or day, maybe don't get an upset, but pretty hasn't really upset anybody yet so far in the very end of Mara.
23:11
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm not really expecting that, but if it would get one more win, they already beat the expectation set by the odds makers and Vegas, the projected win total was three and a half.
23:22
[SPEAKER_02]: So, for who can win here on Saturday, and get above that mark.
23:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think hopefully finish the season with a little bit of momentum.
23:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you look at it.
23:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at the Minnesota result for IU and Purdue, and you start to think, hey, maybe Purdue can compete, but we haven't seen that team for the last three weeks.
23:40
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, for sure.
23:45
[SPEAKER_02]: So, it's still the verdict just still out on up.
23:49
[SPEAKER_02]: non-affiliated Kevin Caine games of where we're producing, of where we're producing defense actually, you'll look capable and incompetent.
24:01
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is a Maryland program that's in some transition.
24:05
[SPEAKER_02]: They have an interim head coach after they fired Michael Oxley on October 21st.
24:12
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... they also fired uh... one of their coordinators like two days before they fired walks away so got some interim guys there uh... at the helm they they look free inspired against illinois that they lost by three dillinois twenty seventeen on the way uh... hit up hit up hit up game winning field goal to win this is a team obviously has nothing to lose for you has all uh... all the pressure here and milit-washington and is true freshman season last year through for
24:39
[SPEAKER_02]: about 3,000 yards, completed 60% of his passes.
24:43
[SPEAKER_02]: This season, nine touchdowns, seven interceptions.
24:45
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, you shown some improvements statistically in some areas, but not necessarily, you know, as taking that huge leap for Maryland, it used to show it a little bit with accuracy and kind of making some poor decisions, but he's a mobile quarterback, previous struggle, both in mobile quarterbacks, first kind of struggle with quarterbacks in general, just passing ball, and also in the ground.
25:08
[SPEAKER_02]: produce the Purdue defense has to stop giving up his fourth place.
25:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Jake last week heading into the Penn State game.
25:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I said if they win this game, Barry Oden pretty much secures his future as Purdue's coach.
25:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And now we're looking at the situation where if they lose this game, who knows what happens with three games left.
25:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for sure.
25:31
[SPEAKER_02]: it's kind of kind of crazy that college football can be that volatile, I guess, been definitely a roller coaster all of the season yeah, but you know, I think the defense, something's going to happen with the defense, a talent may not be there.
25:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Jake, thanks so much for doing a triple episode here.
25:52
[SPEAKER_00]: We will, uh,
