• 0:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: You are listening to a special edition of the Purdue Report with Jake Dunn, his preview of the Boyle Maker's Game in Los Angeles against UCLA on Saturday.
• 0:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: And coming up this weekend, another Purdue Report as Jake and I break down produce the titan basketball schedule.
• 0:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Please make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss any of it.
• 0:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jake obviously disappointing loss on Saturday against Wake Force.
• 0:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have a full recap of that.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Go check it out, please.
• 0:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: But turn the page UCLA.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: If they played the way they did against Wake Force, you certainly think they'd give themselves a chance against UCLA.
• 0:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: So another chance to start to reverse fortunes, right?
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: but we'll get to see how Purdue responds emotionally from the heartbreaker of a loss.
• 1:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Charles Correa and the post game press conference from the Wake Forest game said that the end of the team were excited to get to Los Angeles and try and get away and coach them, emphasize as well in his press conference.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: The importance of basically moving forward rather than dwelling on the past and to what ifs that come with that and that's exactly what Purdue needs to do.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: We saw last year, Purdue lost a heartbreaker, kind of maybe not as much of a heartbreaker, but you know, lost a pretty disappointing game.
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It gets Minnesota.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: They were leading going into the fourth quarter.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the week later, they traveled to Northwestern.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: And basically, late in the night, luckily, the score was 19 to zero.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: They lost Northwestern.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Purdue's got to make sure they don't come out flat.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's even harder to do when you're traveling all the way across the country and pick an off at 11 o'clock PM local time the game's gonna be wrapping up around two or three in the morning eastern time.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Be really tough enough to come out flat, but certainly hope Purdue can respond in a way and this is a tough UCLA team It's not not the same program that that Purdue has seen in the past so It'll be a tough game here for the boys
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and UCLA probably this team coming into the year.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: what you heard in the preseason is about its offense and honestly it's defense is probably the key to this team.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: At least so far, it's looked really good.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: The offense look like it really had a hard time getting going against San Diego State, but the defense looked really good.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Same thing against Cal early on, it eventually the point started coming because we'll start right
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: If Purdue doesn't play well, could really be a mismatch against this defense?
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And kind of going back to the travel situation.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would talk about the late kickoff time.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Purdue has not won on the West Coast, to at least in California, since Arizona in the 2017 Foster Farmers Bowl with Jeff Bram and Anthony Mahongu.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I believe it was scoring very late in the game.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: uh, told me to give Purdue the win.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have also not played a game this late sense traveling to Hawaii back in 2006, back during the quarterback, pre-solid defense and down the running game, Purdue, I feel like it's kind of just, you know, so I'm not trying to make excuses for the team, but you know, they're kind of just facing up hill battle with, you know, the travel and the history of losses on the West Coast, Purdue has faced UCLA five times.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: uh, they're uh, oh three and two against the Bruins.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, one, uh, that the last time they've tied 40% of the time they played them.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, the last meeting was in, uh, 1980 when UCLA won 23 to 14 in West Lafayette.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Purdue is lost a lot of a big 10 games,
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Break all those streaks.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Break all all those really bad streaks.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think obviously it would be a great mental and psychological boost for the team program after Wakeforce.
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: So the Bob Chesney and his staff from James Madison, third layer are going to come in prepared.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've got to bring solid here against Cal and St. Diego State.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: So what if former James Madison coaches ever done anyway?
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's true.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: But turnovers might be the signing factor here.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Your produce is done a great job.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So far, protecting the football.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, that's got to continue here in this game.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've pretty want to chance to win through two games.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ryan Brown is not throwing an interception.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And produce hasn't turned up all over it all.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, clearly throwing an incompletion.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, 55 for 71, man.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
• 5:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to play through some really good passes on Saturday.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: He certainly, I feel like, can improve from last season and the defense we talked earlier in the season about the importance of generating turnovers, Purdue always one takeaway that they didn't have any takeaways in its wake forest.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that one take away was done.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Saunders pick six against Indian State and with Nico.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am Aleva.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's obviously going to cost some problems for, thank you.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'll pretend like that was the first try.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: But we, yeah.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Purdue is going to struggle to contain him.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: He just like to yellow peasant, even Elijah Owens, from Indian State.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Very mobile core backs are going on their feet, and can run.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think pretty we can have a hard time containing him so far this year.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if he's really known for his running, but he's certainly capable of doing it and he had 57 yards last week and some really big runs.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure that that's exactly what they want him doing, but he can certainly do it.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: He hasn't had a super impressive passing performance so far this year.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's an area where Purdue may be able to kind of have a little bit of an advantage there.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you certainly still has one of the potential to play well Vegas as UCLA is favored by depending on where you look 13 or 14 points.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So certainly Purdue is certainly playing from behind here in terms of the matchup.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: the offensive line, the conference's first availability reports were dropped today for Purdue Mr. Clark will be out for for this game.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would have to big hit to the if it's a back room.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think his presence was definitely missed versus which forest offensive line when Joey to Noona is as well as in his doubtful.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's another kind of big hit he sat out against
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm in upset now and it looks like he is doubtful for UCLA game.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then Eolo Medozi, the defensive end brought in from he is listed as questionable.
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Suppositives, it's good that Brock Brown field was not listed in that.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: He left the game that we talked about before.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you listen to, you know, shows he has been pretty impressive throughout fall camp and so far this season.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: He got injured during the week four scheme and in a big car back to the locker room, but he is not an injury port.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's great and then also George Buran.
• 8:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess was apparently banged up a little bit Joe Joe to mention that and as post game press conference, he is also not on the injury port as well.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we do said a little bit of good news there for Purdue and then UCLA has a lot of guys out.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: really the most notable is that Taio Johnson, he is a starting defense of back, who is also out last game, and Mikey Matthews, who is their name receiver against Cal, he got hurt last game, and it will be out this game.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I guess
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Injrewport-wise, those teams are missing some good players there, hopefully Purdue can stay healthy in this game, and hopefully everybody's back.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm for another game, which obviously you'll need to everybody back, and might need a true reason, right here, going to come back and see if they can get some eligibility for Purdue to win that game.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you're listening to this on podcast, we have a version with highlights and graphics in the background on YouTube.
• 9:14

• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: So you don't miss it, get it.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to make our predictions here for this game,
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna just kick it off with this ESPN analytics has produced 20% chance.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not a horrible chance.
• 9:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think this Purdue offense is really good.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're gonna bounce back from this loss and Jake, I'm predicting a win here in UCLA.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking a Purdue boiler maker victory at UCLA.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really like
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: the makeup of this team.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they almost beat a team that was better than them last week.
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to beat a team that's better than they are.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: This week, and I'm going to pick a final score of 38 to 30, Jake.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: How about that?
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And for the record, everybody, this is not something I do.
• 10:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I did that a single time last year with this football team.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did it with the basketball team all year last year.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: With the football team, I don't think I ever picked them to make an upset like this.
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is just something I felt last week is this team is close.
• 10:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really think it's close.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, I'm going to be interested on Friday night to see how bad wait force loses to Miami.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: That might not matter anyway, because Miami just might be the best team in the country.
• 10:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm taking the boiler makers.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've got all can make fun on me if you want.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: but please don't embarrass me, Barry, it is.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love that, and obviously I hope that you're right.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Purdue with Joey to know now, I think they need him back pretty bad.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: They may have some hard time trying to contain the neutralized UCLA's past rush.
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna have to keep the defense honest.
• 11:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, thumb up, you should always
• 11:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: But Ryan Brown's got to be able to sell in the game and the RPO is obviously You have to throw in some of that and and also for the keepers This is a thing last year too.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ryan Brown almost never seemed to to keep the the ball not until those option reads So people will see some of those sprinkled in throughout the season to keep help you defensive on us on that Also gonna have to reduce the number of difficult third and long
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: situations.
• 11:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think Purdue's going to have a hard time doing that against this pre-solid UCLA team.
• 11:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to take UCLA in this one.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I hope Purdue wins.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if they will.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking 35 to 21.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll go with that as my final score.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: So one defensive touchdown all the sudden that's erased, right?
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so you got to
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: make it a player to it all the sudden.
• 12:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's a whole different score.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think this game is going to come down to, you know, just like last game, you know, limiting the explosive plays from UCLA, like for us to a good job of making those explosive plays, but also, you know, they didn't make many mistakes.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was kind of death by a thousand cuts, it felt like.
• 12:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: to play in pretty sound football from those part.
• 12:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And kind of looks like a pretty solid, look like a team that should be in the big tent.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: You see, if they can do that, not have any turnovers, force turnovers for Purdue, which I think Purdue may have a hard time doing it.
• 13:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's where you can come and do it into your right and right and right, I'll have this first interception in this game.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I see UCLA walking out of the Rose Bowl
• 13:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: uh... with a uh... thirty five twenty one your giant bummer right after i pick the upset you're just like nah come on jake yeah like said i said hope you're right i'm just just going with what i think well i think there are winds ahead for sure and i really do have this feeling
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you knew he was gonna be the hero.
• 13:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm really loving me some Don Saunders.
• 13:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like the way he's playing.
• 13:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's got good instincts.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Give me Don Saunders is the hero of the Purdue upset on Saturday night.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Gonna keep me up late for that one too.
• 13:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: They better not lose it at the buzzer like they did.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they lost it last year.
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: If Purdue does pull off enough set, I think with their struggles in the red zone, obviously gonna have to rely on their true freshman kicker.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I'm going to call him a copo because that's uh, I don't want to try to put yours is a full last name, but well, I know the name in Italian is Yakobo and I've been saying Yakobo.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Yeah, from Columbia, I believe is it's where I were east from.
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I believe it is pronounced a cobalt.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, that a cobalt, Osano, ethyporea, is his name.
• 14:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's going to have to have a big performance here, if found if Purdue wants to win this game, if they continue to struggle to score in the red zone.
• 14:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like him.
• 14:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's the first time we've had a kicker, we can really like for a while.
• 14:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much to Jake.
• 14:54
