• 0:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back to the central Indian esports report boiler maker fans for a special edition of the Purdue report with Jake Dunn.
• 0:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake and I are joined by special guest Michelle Garment to talk a little Purdue Ohio state football.
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake welcome back in, woo, this is, um, agus is a chance to knock off the number one team in the country, right?
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a David, David Versk-Lyeth situation here.
• 0:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: First time since 1989.
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: New England shots.
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, and I don't want to sound callous, but I noticed that there's been a lot of revisiting produce upset with Tyler Trent there that night and everything.
• 1:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think trying to bring that back for inspiration.
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't see that happening.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: First of all, that's not pretty doesn't have the same talent this year that that team under Jeff Brom had.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think Ohio State may be just a little bit more talented than their team was that year.
• 1:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, they gotta take some solace from last week's performance, right?
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would think so, but I think Michelle put it pretty well,
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: I want to say that Purdue played really well last week.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: They got some breaks and they took advantage of it.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: When you only lose by five in the big house, even against an average Michigan team as a good performance from a two win team, there are some things that hang your hat on there.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: But Ohio State is just completely different.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: They are that defense.
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: If for two scores, it's a win, right, Jake?
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I see it gives up points a game.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, if this, if this pretty offense can score, I would say that's a, that's a one in my book.
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the thing is are that performance against Michigan looks good last week, but Michigan's offense is not even half as good as Ohio State's offense.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I Michigan look pretty underwhelming offensively mainly, uh, price underwood.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: They are underwhelming.
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Their defense is quite good.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's looked like a freshman a lot and the way they found successes because of their defense, but when their defenses had to be on the field a lot, Michigan struggled a little bit.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's not the case with Ohio State.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ohio State's defense gets the offense back in, the offense.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Look at defense rest.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, we, you look, you talked about Indiana and you talk about Texas A&M and Alabama and Notre Dame, but right now, I would probably take Ohio state against the field.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think they're that good.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely the most complete team for us as played all year.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I, I guess it's hard to, hard to put anybody over them for sure.
• 3:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, they're the defending national champs, and that's what I've said all along, and I think they're better this year than they were last year.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I really do.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So as Indiana and so as ANM, and that's, but what I'm saying is, they're the defending national champions, so until
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: somebody knocks them off.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're the best team and they're they're it.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's that's my opinion.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think talent wise.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think skill wise.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: That defense is the best unit in the country.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Julian saying I'm you talk about Owen underwhelmed.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think people are overrating him quite a bit because I could throw passes to those receivers and they catch it.
• 3:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's how good those receivers
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: They haven't had other than Washington.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: They haven't really faced the teeth.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because they got Penn State after the fire.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Penn State's a little bit.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't care.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've seen them play.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm just saying, I do feel sorry for Purdue.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ohio State this week.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: then who would they play next because I think they and I you have the Washington then they both have their on by with I you and then they have I you at the end of the year or what's supposed to be their final home game but I don't know Jake I've been hearing from some Purdue people that really expect over 50 percent of Ross 8 stadium to be read on that right on Black Friday.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't I have our time blue and be 50 percent but it probably pretty close to that if I had to find the guess so really
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue State told to turn out and make sure that dad doesn't happen.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Besides, you team just did it insanely good.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I certainly certainly wouldn't be surprised if it was close to that.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Jake, what makes this Ohio State team so good?
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the better question is what, what doesn't make them good because their offense is just.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: it's just so complete, quarterback isn't saying I know we talked about the receivers that they have, you know, Jeremiah Smith kind of take both this uncoverable really, especially with with the the pizza's Purdue has in their secondary, those two combined for 16 touchdowns,
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: to just weapons that the Purdue can't cover, they also have Max Clare, you know, the former Purdue Boilermaker on their team and he just makes this receiving unit just for a way deep.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue's defense, as we know, is it is in great their 15th and the big 10 against the run.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ohio State's got a pretty decent, you know, they're not a leap at the free solid, you know, backfield.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: way too good for this Purdue team.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you were going to pick an area of the game that gives you hope is there anything?
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe special teams have this really kind of been the consistent bright spot for Purdue.
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jack McCowster has had one poor plant all year, then it was against Michigan.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, you're not eating anybody with your special teams.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: What the hell?
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's so good.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: The deal is, are we going to be able to pass again so high as state?
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, maybe.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's a bit nice.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: In college football, you're not going to be able to run against them.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, can they stop their run?
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: Is there a high as state?
• 6:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Bad at running the ball.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're 10th and the big 10 in terms of yards for game.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Who do friends?
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: We're so sorry about this.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: There is just nothing.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Last week we actually talked about Michigan.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: There's the chance to be kind of competitive with them because they're off-instincts.
• 7:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry Purdue fans.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna be talking a lot of basketball coming up and it's gonna be a lot of fun, but this is as big a mismatch as you could possibly find in college football
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Devin Machibi was such a great story for Purdue and his success.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's how heartbreaking is it to see his college career in the short because of injury.
• 7:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm tremendous story.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I had a lot of respect for Machibi and he was actually someone who I enjoyed watching play for Purdue.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, really, I really hate to see him go out like that.
• 7:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mentioned this in the podcast at the day, but he's
• 7:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's 13 yards away from 3,000 career rushing yards.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Easy, they're fourth now, or that would have put them in fourth all-time for pretty rushing yards.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Towards the end of the season here, I just didn't really seem like Purdue was eitherizing them.
• 8:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Super wellers are super often in the offense, but I mean, he had multiple chances to leave for greater pastures in terms of money, and maybe going to a better team.
• 8:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: but he decided to stick with Purdue because Purdue chose him and he really values his education.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was going to get this mechanical engineering degree here at the end of the year and yeah, just to Purdue boy make her through and through.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, Jake, with this, with the guideline that Purdue has to end this season, do you think there will be pressure from fans on
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: If Purdue only ends up with two wins, I know.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't feel that way, Jake.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: What today's college, but that's what I'm.
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I don't feel that way.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I want to give them some time.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't, yeah, that bad.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Greg and I are pretty reasonable people, but there are some unreasonable people out there that are going to want them fired.
• 9:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, over, you know, one year, I think if you, if you watch the games and if you, if you remember back to last season, you can tell this team's better, you know, then the team that was on the field last year.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: So there has been an improvement, even if the record doesn't show, uh, but ultimately it is, it is wins and losses that count from from some fans.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: He added to maybe a little refresher, but I think at the, at the very minimum, he gets, he gets two years.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think, I think we'll be better next year, um,
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not, maybe not very much, but certainly will be better next year.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I've got faith in Coach Odom that once we get to year three and beyond, I think that's when you'll see Purdue, you know, start to really compete with the rest of the conference.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: and what he's done and how he's developed players and recruits see that I used to be Purdue was going to win 85 to 90% of the top recruits in Indiana in this area and I think they're a backseat behind IU.
• 10:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the key for Odom will be can he navigate the portal?
• 10:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Can he bring in the talent to compete and can he develop it?
• 10:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think there are some bright spots on the team.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think keeping those bright spots will probably be a challenge.
• 10:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: They may not have a ton of suitors, you know, knocking at their door, but I think you guys like Michael Jackson, Nitro Tuggle, some of the offensive linemen that have kind of shines so far this year.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna be hard.
• 11:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they will have some suitors.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna be interesting to see how Purdue
• 11:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, kind of plays their cards if they want to spend more money to retain guys or just spend more money to go and and fill some of those holes, you know, that are on this team and we'll be popping up as people enter the portal here.
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I guess absolutely going to be key finding and developing, you know, kind of hidden gems and high score ranks too.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will be key, obviously, and then to the point we just made retaining them after you
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue doesn't have, doesn't have a Mark Cuban.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: We don't have a big NIL donors like that, that are willing to.
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you can only do so much.
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think for this Purdue team.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, but yeah, be interesting to see how it goes.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake and I will be back on Sunday morning to talk about the Purdue Ohio State football game, but I think we'll do a double podcast and talk about the Purdue Oakland basketball game as well.
• 12:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: And we'll be back next Wednesday with a Purdue report and probably talk about a little of both.
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say you're probably your Purdue Oakland basketball reaction will probably
• 12:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: As we said, David vs. Goliath here, David can win, really win on Saturday, probably not.
• 12:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's about it, better simple as you can put it.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Don't need more slingshots.
• 12:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a lot more slingshots.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jake, thanks you so much for your time, and I hate being that pessimistic, but... Might say, I need a couple of bazookas on Saturday, instead of slingshots.
• 13:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
