  [SPEAKER_00]: You are listening to a special edition of the Purdue Report with Jake Dunn, as Jake reacts to Purdue's 21-16 loss to Michigan in the Big House on Saturday.
• 0:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back Purdue fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report.
• 0:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I am your solo host today, Jake Dunn, and we'll be doing a recap of Purdue's 21-16 loss at Michigan.
• 0:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of take a look at the bigger picture, go over some key moments to some stats, email some grades, go over what we're wrong, find some silver linings, then finally we will look at next year's schedule to hopefully get a little bit of hope for this program.
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: So let's go ahead and get into it.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Taking a look here at the bigger picture.
• 0:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue dropped its seventh straight game now two and seven overall.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's six in the big ten.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue has lost three of the last four games by one score.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: That shows us that the efforts there, but the results continue to fall short.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've seen things in college and in the NFL where some teams can lose a game by a score.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Loser bunch of games by one score.
• 1:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then the next year, they turn around and they're winning a lot of those games by one score.
• 1:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: key point here for Barry Odom's team next year, if Purdue can retain a good portion of roster and really kind of get some good guys to the portal, then this is a point where Purdue can look on next year.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: They can look back on this trend of losing these once core games and really make a difference.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Despite the defeat though, this is arguably produced most complete big tent perform to the season.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I share a lot of grit and
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: That times looked like it was begging to get beat, but the pattern still persists though.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue plays hard, but lacks the game, breaking plays, and a line of scrimmage push and power needed to finish these games.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Looking at some key moments here, Michigan started running back, just as Haines was out for the game, but Jordan Marshall.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: made that a pretty irrelevant point.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: He had a 54-yard touchdown late in the first quarter.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: That broke open this game.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty much a stalemate for the first 10 minutes of the quarter or so that touchdown by Marshall really set the tone from Michigan.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Her new, in the second quarter, Diddy answered, though, with a 16-place 75-yard touchdown drives.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was really a masterpiece of patience and balance, and easily one of the best
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jack McAlser's looks fantastic all year, but did get us his first blemish later in the second quarter when he shanked 21-yard punt and gave Michigan a short field leading to its touchdown and going into the half with a 14-7 lead where they would then receive the ball to start the second half.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Moving on to the fourth quarter here, there is a fourth and one failure amidst the old
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: that really flipped the momentum back over to Michigan, they scored on the ensuing drive to go up 21-0, which would effectively seal the game.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue did cut it to 21-16, but they couldn't get one final stop as Michigan blood the final six minutes with 11 straight runs.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's something that this Michigan program really has been known for the past few years back when they had JJ McCarthy and even before then,
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: just run your teeth in the ground to just believe the clock to death and that's exactly what they did to Purdue.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think Purdue knew it was coming, but they just couldn't stop it.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Looking at the total yardage of the game Michigan finished just shy of 400 yards with 398 Purdue put up more yards and I would have expected combined for 276 total yards
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: 253 rushing yards, Marshall had 185, 125 carries per due on the ground, had 138 yards, Malkai Thomas had 68, and Tundra Harris had 54.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Bryce Underwood from Michigan did look very underwhelming in this game.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mr. Lotta opened touchdowns.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mr. Lotta opened receivers.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, either either overthrowing or overthrowing yet.
• 4:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: And finally, just didn't look very good.
• 4:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: After that start, he had a pretty rough start.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thought he was going to turn around, never did, which was good for Purdue.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, they're able to keep it close that way.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I make a price under what was on Michigan scores.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Cove more touchdowns, wins by three plus touchdowns.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: And really, kind of runs away with the game.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: But he had a bad game.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's been really, it gets a small year.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: But he does have a lot of potential.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think he'll continue to get better as he progresses through his.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: through his collegiate career, and the passing game, Purdue didn't win the turnover battle.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: It forced two turnovers and only gave up one Ryan Brown went 19 of 24 for 133 yards and touched down, put in seven episodes, passes, and this was his most efficient outing of the season.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Scoring wise though, Purdue just averaged 15 points a game over
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: and when you pair that with a defense that isn't great, that is not a recipe for success.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's hang out some grades.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, let's start here with the Rush offense.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Give the Rush offense a B. I thought it was a pretty productive day, really by committee without Devon Machibi, produced our running back, I did miss this game.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And if I had to guess probably out for the season, there's never a point to bring it back, for you as you really have lots of play for.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm sure he'll want to focus on any sort of pro career he may have.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if he's necessarily in a film material, but I'm sure he will get a shot somewhere.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he wants to be really healthy for that.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: So don't blame him if he does miss the rest of the season.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's given a lot to this program over the past, really excited.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Went somewhere else for a really big payday decide to stay at Purdue for his degree It's an engineering degree and just got really got to respect guys like that in today's college sports environment But picking up his slack was Malkai Talis and Tony Harris getting combined for 122 yards Sound mockabee.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're just not really a ton of potential for explosive plays So that really limits Produced Squaring potential in the running game
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Looking at the pass offense, I'll give that a C. Brown was pretty accurate, but it's pretty limited to short throws.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: No real deep threat.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just search out the defense and receiving core that did better against Michigan, but all season it is as kind of stroll with drops.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, I'll give that the pass offense a C.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: moving over to the defensive side of the ball, rush defense.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to give that a nap.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michigan really dominated the line.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think everybody in their brother knew that coming into the game, that that would happen.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michigan ran for 253 yards and produced front.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've just got pushed around really, really all a day.
• 7:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then they got a little, they were in the back feel a little bit throughout the game, but it just kind of felt like they were.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were just, Michigan's off into flam, which is way more dominant than in Purdue's defense of line, which.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: the trend we've seen all season.
• 7:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: So definitely a place that Purdue should hit hard in the portal, but the only problem what that is, those defensive line guys, those are usually the most expensive players on the team and often are, it's hard to get a lot of value there because the guys that are pretty mediocre are going for a pretty penny.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: So even if you do bring in some guys, it's gonna, you're gonna cost you a lot of money for maybe not a lot in return.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: We really got to find those guys in the high school ranks or junior college and really develop them in the strong players and then for programs like Purdue, be able to retain them.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Looking at the past defense, I'm going to give that a to see they were able to contain price to underwood for 145 yards, forced to turnovers, but they did allow for timely
• 8:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Bryson or what was able to scramble a little bit and I use his legs, so he's a very mobile quarterback, but I thought the past defense could have definitely could have been a lot worse.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'll give that a see and last but certainly not least, special teams, Spencer poor ass nailed a career long 50 yarder is now 11 to 12 this year.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: and a long plummet tree talked about earlier.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was Jack and Calcers.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Shank that set up Michigan very well for a touchdown ahead of the half time.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Looking at what we're wrong, we kind of already went over this a little bit, but at the Lyme plan, both sides just remained really a glaring weakness, pretty lost about out front all night, really on both sides the ball.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like a big place, just four passes for over 15 yards and three runs for over 10.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: So not a lot of explosive plays
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: to, again, such as Mach Biel, it gets a fairly good Michigan defense.
• 9:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're not great, but they're definitely not bad.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: It gets a good defense like that.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to get explosive plays, and that's just something that's pretty struggle with for most of the year against your conference opponents of the same caliber.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Execution or pressure, the fourth and one failure made field symbolized a team that was close, but not quite there.
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: So,
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not gonna be the next few times that we've seen some drives in the previous few games where just not gonna be able to execute just really costs pretty a lot this year.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: So taking the consideration, there are offensive ceiling, you know, too many drives rely on 10 plus place score, takes a lot of time off the clock when you might be playing from behind.
• 10:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: And defense of fatigue can get off of field weight and miskind of just a pound on that, the ball down your throat.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: And those start to get off the field, we don't have a great defense in those situations.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I am an optimist and I do believe there is value and kind of looking for those silver linings.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: So start here with the effort and buy in a silver main strong, despite the skid, Barry Odom's team continues to play hard.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: and they seem to have a winquitting, which is something that we cannot say about last year's team.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ryan Brown was very efficient.
• 11:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: His decision making definitely has improved.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I should poison even with levitate protection.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just wish he would start with stop throwing off his back foot all the time.
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It seems like quite a bit of a throw.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's thrown off his back foot and that as we've seen throughout the year has caused a lot of interceptions.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I wish he'd stopped doing that, but he was very efficient this game.
• 11:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I've got to give him credit there.
• 11:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Since a poor rough has really improved from last year at a really shaky year last year and I honestly didn't look very good, but he's been very consistent this year's only missed one.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Field goal, and again, had a 50-yarder, I career long, and a really crucial moment.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I've been really impressed by him this year and this improvement from last season.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: During Hines, had an interception in CJ Nunnally forced to fumble, and that was kind of the highlight of the defense this game.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's still sometimes our find-and-flash is a playmaking, but I think that the defense is going to outside of many Palantra, Sparia.
• 12:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think there's a lot of room.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: for replacements there from the portal.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: So in this game, kind of gone back to what we saw earlier this season, penalties were pretty minimal, which is a rare good sign.
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I definitely can't say the game to the same, I've ever gained this year, but this is definitely an improvement in a small but important marker of what a well-coached team looks like, and a team that's still locked in.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: So again, just to recap here, this was produced
• 12:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were disciplined, they're competitive, and they are resilient.
• 12:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Although, Michigan was missing their start, running back, just the same freshman Jordan Marshall made that pretty relevant, putting up 185 yards and three touchdowns on this boy and maker defense.
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue has now lost 14 straight conference games, and has a beat in the power for opponent, since Indiana in 2023,
• 13:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: and with Ohio State, a who's right number one in the country followed up by at Washington, who's receiving those to be ranked, and then by a week, and then finishing the season at home, yes, Indiana, it's currently a second ranked team in the nation.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: This gets all just just not lightened up and going to be a very rough ending to the year for the blows.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: But they are building toward competitiveness, but the talent gap and the trenches and other areas of field.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: It really just remains a clear separator from big ten contenders and in some times even the the peer programs that period is played this year Before we take a look at next year schedule, I just want to highlight quote from Barry Odom here.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: They had the press conference He said I'm not going to apologize for winning or for fighting
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll keep swinging, we'll keep digging, and we'll keep finding a way to get back in the winter circle.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I do believe Barry Odom will be a good coach for Purdue.
• 14:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've had a rough first year.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's no doubt about that.
• 14:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: But as we take a look at next year's schedule, I might get a little bit easier.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're building a really good structure here to have a good program.
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think by the time I get to year three or year four of Barry Odom's tenure, I think we'll have a little more optimism to this program.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: So taking a look at the 2026 Purdue football schedule, again, doesn't get a lot easier, but might get a little bit easier.
• 14:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: We don't know all the dates yet, but we do know all the opponents.
• 14:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: They will start off the season on Saturday, September 5th at home against the Indiana State Sikomores.
• 14:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: So after playing and being the Indiana State Sikomores, Wake Forest, the Demon Deacons come to town that next week, Saturday, September 12th,
• 14:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue does lead the series five to one four out of the five times they've played so far.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have been in West Laugh yet.
• 15:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've played once in Salem and every time they've played, it has been a pretty close game with the largest margin of victory, nine points.
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: So the most recent meeting between these two programs was September 13, 2023,
• 15:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: and Winston Salem where Purdue beat the Wake Forest 16 to 10.
• 15:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: So to speed a pretty close game there, but hopefully the Ebola makers can't come out with the wind as Wake Forest also is kind of struggling as a program here this year.
• 15:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then Purdue will have a buy week before they play Notre Dame at home and Rossite Stadium on Saturday, September 26.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: But we'll see if Bariodum can improve on his performance against the fighting Irish in South Bend this year when they return to Ross 8 stadium to play the boilers.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, on Saturday, September 26th.
• 16:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So those are all the dates we know for sure.
• 16:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: But some of the other opponents that Purdue will play, we know, and again, this is not in order.
• 16:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: These are just other opponents that Purdue will play.
• 16:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: They will play at Illinois, at Indiana, Iowa,
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: at Penn State at home against Maryland, home against Rutgers, home against Washington, home against Wisconsin where Purdue will look to finally end their stretch against A was constantly and then it's looking very, very bad this year and they will also play at the Rose Bull Stadium against UCLA.
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that'll be a
• 16:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Got a good stretch of away games here for Peru at the Rose Bowl at Beaver Stadium for Penn State at Kenx Stadium for Iowa.
• 16:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then you know, get your two or your three biggest rivals Illinois and Indiana both on the road.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: So really nice big Kenx schedule here for Roy and I schedule for Purdue next year.
• 17:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Nice is in some quality opponents going to be
• 17:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: maybe too, but we will see how Barry Odom can improve off of his first year at the helm for the board maker.
• 17:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Please be sure to tune in on Wednesday for our Purdue report, and we will go over some Purdue basketball, which we all know and love.
