Purdue 41, Minnesota 13: Reaction with Jake Dunn (The Purdue Report, 3.75) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

0:07
[SPEAKER_03]: You are listening to a special edition of the Purdue Report with Jake Dunn, his reaction to produce 41 to 13, is that right, Jake?
0:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes it is.
0:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome, Boiler, MakerFans.
0:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't believe what I saw on Saturday, Jake.
0:31
[SPEAKER_03]: It looked like a completely different team that defense two weeks in a row now has looked incredible.
0:36
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll talk about Eja Boy and his performance, but to me, the thing that stood out was, that defense has looked like a completely different defense the last two weeks than the previous four.
0:49
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, after allowing 40 plus points per game against Wicked Forest, UCLA and Notre Dame per Duas.
0:55
[SPEAKER_14]: now allowed just 30 points across its last two games.
0:59
[SPEAKER_14]: So a big improvement here recently from Kevin Kane and the defensive staff for Purdue, the GoFers managed just 203 total yards, including 27 rushing yards on 12 carries.
1:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm blue.
1:14
[SPEAKER_14]: I only thought you just being at a typo when I saw that.
1:16
[SPEAKER_03]: But like it watching it, Jake, it was,
1:20
[SPEAKER_14]: It was just complete domination and I was stunned Minnesota just had 10 first downs and convert on only four of their 13 third down attempts for a force to turn over.
1:32
[SPEAKER_14]: Lineback or Jojo Hayden got a the defense's fourth intersection of the season and forth and this Minnesota offense was pretty much Captain Chuck Drick Lindsay completed.
1:45
[SPEAKER_14]: 2239 passes for 240 yards out of touch down.
1:48
[SPEAKER_14]: It was a nice double move there.
1:50
[SPEAKER_14]: I think it was in the third quarter.
1:52
[SPEAKER_14]: And then through the intersection as we talked about, you know, there were different sublime coverages in some penalties.
1:57
[SPEAKER_14]: So it wasn't flawless, but pretty defensively pretty much controlled.
2:02
[SPEAKER_14]: The entire game.
2:03
[SPEAKER_14]: So it was a nice, nice to see this improvement here compared to the first four games.
2:07
[SPEAKER_14]: Minnesota average only two point one yard to carry.
2:10
[SPEAKER_14]: So Purdue didn't just make necessarily uncomfortable.
2:15
[SPEAKER_14]: ability to establish her on.
2:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Dee Newsom.
2:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought was really good on the corner and he allowed that one play that was just, it wasn't just a blown coverage.
2:26
[SPEAKER_03]: It was poorly played, but I texted you until that play.
2:29
[SPEAKER_03]: It was like almost an A plus for this defense.
2:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they gave up some yards.
2:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they gave up some plays, but
2:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Every time it was third and four or third and seven they won, every time it was Minnesota was in pretty good situation down a distance Purdue made a play and especially Korea and Hayden, I thought those two guys were fantastic.
2:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Don Saunders to.
2:53
[SPEAKER_03]: helping on with the run.
2:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And I thought the guys in the middle, the defensive tackles who didn't make a whole lot of plays, really did a good job of taking up space and allowing Korea and Jojo Hayden to make some plays.
3:07
[SPEAKER_14]: What we've seen from the defense here.
3:09
[SPEAKER_14]: past two games and hopefully they can can prove here on Friday that they can do it again after that these two games here.
3:18
[SPEAKER_14]: We know Kevin Kane had a little bit of insider information having worked for the past two teams produced played with.
3:24
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
3:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe that's the whole thing and next week it all goes back to normal.
3:30
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, we'll see.
3:31
[SPEAKER_14]: But if this Purdue defense can hold up like it has to pass a couple of games.
3:35
[SPEAKER_14]: I think Purdue definitely will be favorite.
3:37
[SPEAKER_14]: I think they actually are favorite here on Friday.
3:39
[SPEAKER_14]: It gets watching 10.
3:41
[SPEAKER_14]: That's the first time.
3:42
[SPEAKER_14]: Purdue has been favorite in an hour or four game.
3:45
[SPEAKER_14]: And probably a few years.
3:47
[SPEAKER_14]: So really exciting stuff.
3:48
[SPEAKER_14]: This defense can hold up and I think Kevin Kane deserves a lot of credit and we're really seeing before our eyes how much playing complimentary football.
3:58
[SPEAKER_14]: helps both sides of the ball when the offense can stay on the field long enough to give the defense a good amount of rest and when the defense can get off the field quickly and not to not allow them to get just worn down over and over again.
4:11
[SPEAKER_14]: Like it shows how well this team is constructed and how well the program is run.
4:17
[SPEAKER_14]: So there's
4:18
[SPEAKER_14]: definitely still opportunities in areas for improvement.
4:21
[SPEAKER_14]: They're always will be, but before the Illinois game, we were talking about how it's very own and Purdue.
4:28
[SPEAKER_14]: Don't win these next few games against somebody's peer opponents.
4:31
[SPEAKER_14]: We may be coming up near the end of his tenure and now people are jokingly, but they're calling for Purdue to build a barrier in the statue, so it's just kind of a confetti how quickly things can turn and very glad that
4:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and again, it could all turn again on Friday.
4:50
[SPEAKER_03]: If they lose to this team that is just a complete mess, I don't think they're going to have an hard time making it through the season with what's going on up there, losing their quarterback this week, just quit on them in the middle of the year.
5:05
[SPEAKER_03]: So the mood could definitely switch again on Friday, but if they win that game, we're starting to talk about bull eligibility and that is a quick change in what was essentially a week, last Saturday, going into the game at Illinois, we're thinking, are we gonna win a game this year?
5:23
[SPEAKER_03]: And now we're thinking bull game seven, eight days later.
5:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, it is, I'm not really thinking bull game yet.
5:30
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm saying, if they win this Washington game, you start to think bull game.
5:34
[SPEAKER_14]: Thinking back to the the week four scheme.
5:36
[SPEAKER_14]: I know we're playing a little bit of courtesy to what up, but if they get that stuff on fourth down and and be you know, wake for us, they'd be sitting pretty would be sitting at four and two right now and like the conversation would be not are we going to make a ball game is which ball game or are we going to make so if for you can keep playing this way, they absolutely can make a ball game and to grab you pretty optimistic coming into the season saying that
6:00
[SPEAKER_14]: Purdue could get there.
6:01
[SPEAKER_14]: I was not as optimistic.
6:03
[SPEAKER_14]: But yeah, if Purdue could make a bull game, there would be some to pretty good games that would want Purdue.
6:08
[SPEAKER_14]: It's a team that hasn't made a bull game since Dr. on left in 2022.
6:14
[SPEAKER_14]: That was a terrible experience.
6:15
[SPEAKER_14]: You know, Purdue got its teeth kicked in and it's LSU because they were basically playing the whole bench.
6:21
[SPEAKER_14]: Because everybody that was notable pretty much didn't like, but pretty fancy hungry for a bowl game, and it's just nice to be talking about meaningful football, and when it comes to Purdue again.
6:33
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, you and I are about to talk about some of the other performances on offense.
6:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I just wanted to touch on the defense first because the easier boys going to get all of the credit.
6:42
[SPEAKER_03]: for the win on Saturday.
6:44
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just thought the defense was stellar.
6:45
[SPEAKER_03]: So I wanted to mention that.
6:47
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, we're going to talk a little more about it on the Purdue Report later this week.
6:51
[SPEAKER_03]: And we're going to be talking some Purdue basketball.
6:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Media Day was last week.
6:54
[SPEAKER_03]: And we still haven't responded to that.
6:55
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to do that.
6:56
[SPEAKER_03]: But before we do a couple of other guys on the defense that I wanted to point out, I thought some names.
7:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I hadn't heard a lot Winston Burgland and the Darry Hines had some good games.
7:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Jeremy Lewis continues to
7:10
[SPEAKER_03]: be good in the middle of that line and Curt Neal as well.
7:14
[SPEAKER_03]: And honestly, I felt like play for play, Purdue is the better team all night.
7:18
[SPEAKER_14]: They definitely were.
7:19
[SPEAKER_14]: It's nice to be able to say that against the team that isn't Indiana State or Ball State or Southern Illinois.
7:26
[SPEAKER_14]: This is nice to be able to say that against a power four team.
7:29
[SPEAKER_14]: The defense deserves a lot of credit.
7:31
[SPEAKER_14]: This is also still without arguably the best player on defense.
7:34
[SPEAKER_14]: Mr. Clark, at least in the secondary.
7:36
[SPEAKER_14]: Easy to come back from his, you got injured in the first game.
7:39
[SPEAKER_14]: It's an easy, easy to come back.
7:41
[SPEAKER_14]: But if you can come back.
7:42
[SPEAKER_14]: Let's obviously just, just an added piece to this through secondary.
7:46
[SPEAKER_14]: Obviously, we don't know the severity of his injury, but I would hope that for this getting pretty close to below the ability.
7:52
[SPEAKER_14]: I hope that you would come back and play.
7:55
[SPEAKER_14]: and help turn this program around.
7:57
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, Jake, let's take a quick break.
7:59
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll be right back.
8:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Jake and I will be back with a Purdue report talking some football and basketball later this week.
8:09
[SPEAKER_03]: We also on the Central Indiana Sports Report Network have weekly podcasts for the Pacers fever cults, Indie Car and another women don't know what he hears about.
8:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Please go check it out at the Central Indiana Sports Report.
8:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna throw you another curveball here, Jake, to start the second segment.
8:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I wanna talk about Ryan Brown, because, again, the running game was the story of the night, but man, I thought Ryan Brown was so efficient.
8:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I know he was only 14 for 24.
8:43
[SPEAKER_03]: He made all the right decisions.
8:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't make any huge mistake.
8:47
[SPEAKER_03]: I actually made one that Minnesota didn't make him pay for, but just I thought he was so good.
8:54
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, his decision making running the ball
8:58
[SPEAKER_03]: It's up with 305 yards on the ground, 157 through the air and it felt like if they wanted to go through the air, they could have done that as well.
9:07
[SPEAKER_14]: So, Ryan Brown's kind of dual thread ability really changed the offense here.
9:12
[SPEAKER_14]: Ryan Brown finished with 81 rushing yards on seven carries.
9:16
[SPEAKER_14]: I then had a really nice rushing touchdown where I looked like he was about to get tackled for for a loss or maybe very short game that pump fake got the defender up in the year and then he was able to get around him and that's a really nice blocking down field by denial and more set that allowed right Brown and score that touchdown.
9:35
[SPEAKER_14]: Very autumn said in the post game press conference that Brian Brown running the ball is not necessarily a part of the game plan I don't know if he's just saying that did both way not give any opponents the edge, but we've seen Ryan Brown's ability to run the ball in the past And I think it just makes a lot of sense to try to incorporate that into the offense If it's not already in this game was a was another example of how powerful that can be so before Saturday his
10:02
[SPEAKER_14]: best rushing performance to the season was like four yards against Indian state and come into the game.
10:08
[SPEAKER_14]: He had 24 carries for negative 28 yards, no, sacks or counters as negative rushing yards in college.
10:14
[SPEAKER_14]: But with this performance, 81 rushing yards on the Senate carries, that's an average of 11.6 yards to carry.
10:22
[SPEAKER_14]: So had a great night on the ground, pretty solid night through the air as well.
10:27
[SPEAKER_14]: So I've just been
10:31
[SPEAKER_14]: and performance so far this year, there's still some some passes that I think he could have completed down the field, could have been place a little bit better, but still pretty pretty solid performance from Ryan Brown and Barry Adams, I kind of gamble on him, bring him back for who could have gone to the portal and gotten a quarterback that really wanted to, but Barry Adams chose to stick with Ryan Brown and try to keep the offensive through him and that is certainly paying off here.
10:56
[SPEAKER_14]: So,
10:57
[SPEAKER_14]: wide receivers have been great.
10:58
[SPEAKER_14]: Still, they have not really dropped many balls at all this year.
11:02
[SPEAKER_14]: So it's just a nine day difference.
11:05
[SPEAKER_14]: It seems like a never-severing core.
11:06
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's five of them.
11:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Five good receivers.
11:10
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, so George Burrhan, we shall have made a pretty nice, yeah, just two catches.
11:15
[SPEAKER_14]: But one of them was for our 15 yard touchdown, the one from right Brown and the other was a pretty tough.
11:22
[SPEAKER_14]: I think it was like a one-handed catch down by the goal line that they set up one of five major boys touchdowns and we'll get them at them here in a second.
11:30
[SPEAKER_14]: This receiving course really become one of this team strengths.
11:34
[SPEAKER_14]: You know, if you were to tell me that last year, or do there's no way that can happen, unless it's a big happen or if you've got a bunch of talent out of the portal and town look unlike they did.
11:44
[SPEAKER_14]: So if teams, you know, are going to sell out on FOMA user boy.
11:49
[SPEAKER_14]: Obviously,
11:50
[SPEAKER_14]: It gives pretty options when Ryan Brown can keep the ball on Ryan and also they can hurt him through the air as well.
11:55
[SPEAKER_14]: So really great performance from the team, really on both sides of the ball and the offensive line, which we'll get into here with Saf on a YouTube-like ball, offensive line, serves a lot of credit too.
12:06
[SPEAKER_03]: it does last word on Ryan Brown is he says it's not really part of the game plan and I think that's probably the right move.
12:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure having Ryan Brown running as part of the game plan is necessarily something, but he was really good at improvisation.
12:20
[SPEAKER_03]: He took off.
12:21
[SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of like Aaron Rogers was never really a running quarterback, but he was athletic enough and had enough instincts that if you gave him an open space, he was going to take it.
12:30
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's probably what you're looking at here with Ryan Brown.
12:33
[SPEAKER_03]: But I was really impressed with this decision making all night.
12:37
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, coming into the season, that was the issue with him.
12:42
[SPEAKER_03]: So nice to see that he has, I don't know, matured, made gained experience.
12:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what you would call it.
12:51
[SPEAKER_03]: But nice to see Ryan Brown making those adjustments in latent his career.
12:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Now let's talk about the run game and the offensive line does deserve some of the credit of man, is your boy just makes yards himself and he did a whole out of that, including some of his best runs of the night, just creating yards on his own, but good performance all night.
13:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Not only the performances on the field, including Egeboi, one of the great performances in Purdue history on Saturday with 195 yards, but credit to the game plan as well because it felt like Minnesota's defense, which we said coming into the game, was really good.
13:31
[SPEAKER_03]: It felt like they were off balance all night and didn't know what was coming at him.
13:34
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, because of line deserves a lot of credit for sure.
13:37
[SPEAKER_14]: Minnesota came into this game, ranked third in the conference in rushing defense.
13:43
[SPEAKER_14]: So ton of credit to coach Odomin and coach Crab tree and having a game plan here and trying to disrupt what Minnesota was trying to do on the defensive line.
13:53
[SPEAKER_14]: They've got some really good players there.
13:55
[SPEAKER_14]: So I thought I was very encouraging to to see that.
13:58
[SPEAKER_14]: Especially with some young guys up front Rico Schreiber, even though Judy McAusty started the season that starting right tackle.
14:06
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, banged up against Notre Dame and missed the Illinois game record driver did a great job filling as a true freshman.
14:14
[SPEAKER_14]: The coaching staff decided to start him again for this game and Rick or Trevor again did a pretty solid job.
14:21
[SPEAKER_14]: Being able to have confidence to put a true freshman in there like Trevor and getting meaningful playing time really contribute.
14:28
[SPEAKER_14]: I thought that was a great to see and it gives me confidence that through can retain some of these guys.
14:37
[SPEAKER_14]: for the future.
14:39
[SPEAKER_14]: And there are some other guys too like Jet Goldberry.
14:42
[SPEAKER_14]: He made some nice plays on special teams.
14:45
[SPEAKER_14]: Aiden Slokki.
14:46
[SPEAKER_14]: He made some plays on defense as well.
14:49
[SPEAKER_14]: A lot of defensive lines, so nice as Roycey's some freshman in getting a lot of playing time here.
14:53
[SPEAKER_14]: But for you back back to the running game, Purdue had 11 runs of 10 plus yards.
15:00
[SPEAKER_14]: And that doesn't end by accident.
15:06
[SPEAKER_14]: Ten a credit for creating that space and making that that sort of performance possible and Ryan Brown too.
15:13
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't think he was sacked at all and this was, again, there's a deep into gone into this game, forcing a lot of sacks and it's just a nice reminder, nice refreshing performance on the ground that shows that prud isn't half to rely some like on the past every week, like they have had to in some of these other games.
15:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I watched Minnesota against Washington, Michigan, and I was thinking, man, how is Purdue going to keep this team off of Ryan Brown?
15:41
[SPEAKER_03]: How's this offensive line going to keep Brown up right?
15:44
[SPEAKER_03]: They only had one quarterback, hurry, zero sacks, only three tackles for lost the entire night.
15:50
[SPEAKER_14]: Coach Odom is called Zach Crab Tree, one of the best offensive line coaches in the nation coach Odom said.
15:59
[SPEAKER_14]: So, I think he's certainly worthy of some praise there after this performance, but Tom and Ejiboy finished with a 195 yards, three touchdowns on 31 carries, that's a career best performance for Ejiboy, who's going up against his former team, he's just a few yards short, 200 yards rushing, and that would have made him the first pretty running
16:28
[SPEAKER_03]: And this was a just virtuoso performance, so good.
16:35
[SPEAKER_03]: The balance, the inability of Minnesota to get him to the ground, he is so good at that.
16:42
[SPEAKER_03]: And he has good vision, he's a good one, man.
16:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I am glad he is at Purdue.
16:47
[SPEAKER_14]: Coach Odomet is praised.
16:57
[SPEAKER_14]: You know, clearly means a lot to this team, you know, beyond just a box score, you know, I'm very glad I'm sure every Purdue fans very glad to have him all this team.
17:07
[SPEAKER_14]: And you know, it's, it's a great get, you know, by the staff coming from fellow big 10 program.
17:12
[SPEAKER_14]: He's got, you know, a really great ability to make that first defender miss and run through contact and finish runs.
17:21
[SPEAKER_14]: So when the offensive line is able to,
17:23
[SPEAKER_14]: to give him some space, he could turn that kind of routine play into a big game.
17:28
[SPEAKER_14]: And Greg, I've got a pretty interesting stat here for you.
17:32
[SPEAKER_14]: Follow me, Ysha Boy, as forced 48 missed tackles on the season.
17:37
[SPEAKER_14]: And of his 549 rushing yards, a 389 of them have come after contact, according to Pro Football Focus.
17:50
[SPEAKER_03]: and is pretty incredible and not really surprising after watching him play.
17:55
[SPEAKER_03]: He creates so much by himself and again, nothing gets aligned.
17:58
[SPEAKER_03]: They played well, but this is a far more usable deal.
18:02
[SPEAKER_03]: He is that good.
18:04
[SPEAKER_14]: I hate to say about I'm so peru can keep him, because I'm sure he's going to have his fair share of suitors who don't want them to play for their team, but I hope I'll be
18:20
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, Jake, well, we kind of made the decision a couple of weeks ago to kind of start transitioning to basketball and I don't think we're going to be able to do that now, but we are going to talk some basketball later this week, we're going to talk a little more Purdue football before we preview the Washington game probably on Wednesday or Thursday this week, because the game is on Friday, so we probably have to have a double Purdue report and talk about all of it later this week.
18:48
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, Jake, thanks so much, Final Thoughts.
18:51
[SPEAKER_14]: And know you, we say it pretty much every show, but the special teams has done their job.
18:55
[SPEAKER_14]: They've done a great job this season.
18:58
[SPEAKER_14]: Cobo, Edge of Ariel, Vizano, made both of his field goals, 145 yards, 120 yards.
19:03
[SPEAKER_14]: They've been improved to 13 or 14 on the season.
19:07
[SPEAKER_14]: And then really just continuing is incredible start to his Purdue career.
19:11
[SPEAKER_14]: 30 only fun and twice this whole game.
19:14
[SPEAKER_14]: Travis Dorada, 32 of your kickoff return.
19:17
[SPEAKER_14]: and Purdue forced a force fumble on a buff point, the defender whipped into Minnesota pepper turner.
19:24
[SPEAKER_14]: So there was a flag in their way, the respect of the flag.
19:27
[SPEAKER_14]: But Purdue was able to force take away there and that set up a touchdown score.
19:31
[SPEAKER_14]: So go to a certain lot of.
19:34
[SPEAKER_14]: credit for how this team has been able to respond from that one and three start that we talked about.
19:40
[SPEAKER_14]: I'm sure it's easy for a team to lose that heartbreaker to Lake Forest, lose a game like that.
19:46
[SPEAKER_14]: It gets you CLA where you're off into playing well enough to win.
19:50
[SPEAKER_14]: And then the defense just just can't get a stop.
19:52
[SPEAKER_14]: So you'll whatever coach on them said the message landed is seemed to a stick.
19:58
[SPEAKER_14]: for replay with a lot of energy, a lot of confidence, and played with a lot of great discipline, pretty didn't wish you could themselves in the photo whole lot, and it's great, you know, this could have been a perfect, kind of let-down spot for Purdue after Illinois getting their first conference win in years.
20:14
[SPEAKER_14]: Imagine it would be easy to come in and not be as prepared for this game as what they were.
20:19
[SPEAKER_14]: So it's a cute credit to coach them, the staff are for keeping this team.
20:22
[SPEAKER_14]: Focus, keep them prepared.
20:24
[SPEAKER_14]: And I hope that this success continues to just kind of compound on itself, because I think looking ahead at the schedule there are absolutely some more winnable games produced already locked in an improvement from last season with now winning their third game by there's a few more winnable games here on the schedule.
20:42
[SPEAKER_14]: So I hope for you can
20:44
[SPEAKER_14]: can keep this strain rolling, I know pun intended, but I'll come on, that pun was intended.
20:52
[SPEAKER_14]: But yeah, this this conversation area around this team is changed very dramatically into your point earlier, Greg, in a very short amount of time.
21:01
[SPEAKER_14]: So I think this game here, against Washington, obviously Ryan Walters coming back to West Laugh yet.
21:07
[SPEAKER_14]: Uh, Purdue getting to play him again right before the buy to which they need head to Penn State who and states another team who hasn't been playing very well.
21:15
[SPEAKER_14]: So this is a, a crucial time.
21:18
[SPEAKER_14]: You talked about October was a crucial time for this team.
21:21
[SPEAKER_14]: And so far, they, they've entered the Bell.
21:23
[SPEAKER_14]: They want their challenges here so far and Purdue could really turn the second round here to finish November and maybe we'll be planning a trip to the Bullgate Greg.
21:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's just not Detroit to anywhere but Detroit, you know what I'm saying.
21:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, pretty much all the bullgames are in nice places, but not all of them.
21:51
[SPEAKER_14]: The Duke's Mayo Bowl is here in Charlotte and the winner of that game, the head coach gets dumped a big ol' Gatorade, you know, the five gallon of Gatorade Jucks full of Mayo, gets dumped on them and that's a pretty nice sight to see.
22:09
[SPEAKER_14]: I was there when I was one or two years ago, when
22:14
[SPEAKER_14]: I've been a soda actually one that game and got seeded on P.J.
22:17
[SPEAKER_14]: Flake to get Dallas in a big old thing in Mayo, so that was pretty fun.
22:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so I'm getting out of the big old bad that of Mayo on Saturday too.
22:30
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, so for you can perceive and strong and maybe we'll see you down here in Charlotte.
22:36
[SPEAKER_03]: and we'll all make a road trip.
22:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Things again, Jake, appreciate it as always.

23:08
[SPEAKER_14]: Thank you, boiler up.
23:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks again, everyone.
23:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Please stay tuned for Purdue's post-game press conference.
23:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Little bonus time.
23:27
[SPEAKER_02]: out of the work they put in this week to prepare the right way, I thought we played in three phases, complimentary ball, which was so important into this game.
23:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Thought our offense stayed ahead of schedule and on schedule, not many minus plays.
23:43
[SPEAKER_02]: We controlled the line of scrimmage offense and defensive line when you look at our run game on offense.
23:49
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's not just the offensive line, that's the tight ends of receivers blocking, running backs running the way they are, and then defensively, we got to push, we re-establish the line of scrimmage, which was so important to try to take away their run game, and I thought, we had success in that, and then we made big time plays in the kicking game.
24:06
[SPEAKER_02]: When you do that, you don't turn the ball over, you'll put yourself in position to play winning ball.
24:12
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
24:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Minnesota's a good team and I thought we played well tonight in all three phases which is great to see.
24:22
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll continue to make progress and now we've got to put it behind because in six short days we lose the day, six short days Friday night, Ross A. will be rocking.
24:35
[SPEAKER_04]: You mentioned controlling the trenches.
24:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Just when you and Brandon were putting together this plan last December of how you were going to go into the portal, maybe especially on the lines both sides.
24:45
[SPEAKER_04]: How close to your best case scenario was what you saw tonight?
24:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think they're working really well together, you know, we've, we've, right now we've got a freshman that's starting at Wright Tackle, and for two weeks, he's played really well, but it's also, you know, Jude came back and played some tonight, and then all the other guys, Coach Crab Tree, I'll say it again.
25:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's the best offensive line coach in college football, and he and Henson work in together the flow and the communication and them being on the same page.
25:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're moving in the right direction.
25:20
[SPEAKER_02]: We've still got a long ways to go in all areas, but when you can control on a skimage in a conference game like we did tonight, and you've got a chance to play winning ball.
25:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm certainly excited about what they did, the work that they put in this week, and then the way they executed through communication on all the different looks that we got tonight, and then also Ryan did a great job through the check system, getting us in right looks.
25:46
[SPEAKER_02]: and execute and play is and you know he ran the wall well tonight just along with that.
25:50
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think we've got a chance to continue to build we have to we've got to have that in our favor and if we do we can we can stay on track offensively.
26:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Barry you've already kind of talked about this but statistically Minnesota had one of the best defensive lines in the country they only had three tackles for lost no sex tonight just what was
26:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I think, again, it goes back, you know, kind of our points of emphasis in the week, the preparation, the game plan, the assistant coaches put together, and then trying to control it and, you know, continue as coaches and set a million times this week, the stay on schedule, stay on schedule.
26:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And our guys embrace that, they understood the big picture what we're trying to get accomplished.
26:35
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, you know, that, all that's great, you got to go execute and they did.
26:41
[SPEAKER_08]: You guys more than tripled your rushing yards tonight.
26:43
[SPEAKER_08]: What was it about going against Minnesota's defense that allowed you to the rushing game to flourish so well tonight?
26:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this, you know, number one, or guys competed play well together.
26:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I know it sounds like it said the same thing over and over, but again, it's preparation, it's habits, it's mindset, it's attitude, it's effort, and it's toughness.
27:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And then when you,
27:05
[SPEAKER_02]: When you'll have a week of preparation like we did, and then you get into the final 48-hour preparation on what that looks like, how important that is.
27:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, offensively, when you have a chance to communicate like our guys are now, and then the understanding of what we need to do, and then working off and together of each other, then you start to have success.
27:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, very just the defense two-weeks and aeronics.
27:27
[SPEAKER_13]: This 30 points total last two weeks.
27:29
[SPEAKER_13]: Just speak to how that unit is really seem to maybe be turning the corner here.
27:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're making progress.
27:35
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've said it, you know, after the Notre Dame game, we got a little bit better.
27:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody wanted to, you know, it was hard to see that game.
27:43
[SPEAKER_02]: And with us, keep making jumps, keep making progress.
27:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Coach Kane has done a tremendous job, as well as the defensive staff on identifying areas that we need to get fixed and fixing them, and also building a defense of the week that gives us a chance for players to understand, playing together, playing hard smart and tough,
28:04
[SPEAKER_02]: playing free and confident and fast and how important that is when you trust the guy next to you and in front of you and behind you because of the work that you put in then you can start making progress and again just like I said on offense we've got a long ways to go but we're making progress.
28:21
[SPEAKER_13]: What was it a concern effort?
28:23
[SPEAKER_13]: to run Ryan Brown more tonight because he really and ran that much all year.
28:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this thing, they, how they were playing us structurally, it provided that.
28:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know through conversational, the headset that there are a number of things offensively that within the game that we're making adjustments and again, Ryan,
28:44
[SPEAKER_02]: We had a great night in executing a law-so-preaching app reads, and being comfortable with that, and playing at a high level.
28:56
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think he got too drick Lindsay, but you didn't have to make him uncomfortable.
28:59
[SPEAKER_09]: Are you seeing progress in the past rush week by week, even though you're not maybe getting the sacks to justify it?
29:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I wish, you know, there's a number of things if you can show different pictures.
29:14
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, you know, you don't have to, it doesn't have to look down at the stat sheet and six attacks, but you have to get him off rhythm and off of his spot.
29:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that we're continuing to find ways to harass tonight in that position.
29:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And man, what a challenge.
29:34
[SPEAKER_02]: We got coming up with,
29:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Both quarterback for Washington watch, you know, enough tape on them, leading up to it.
29:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, you know, we'll have our work cut out for us.
29:44
[SPEAKER_09]: How badly does this team need a game like this on the ground is to show that you can be dynamic on the ground and throw in the football.
29:50
[SPEAKER_09]: It's been for the last four weeks, mostly through the air.
29:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think you you build confidence through experience and, you know, sometimes the experiences aren't.
29:59
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they're not favorable, then it's not lost if you learn from it, you grow from it, then it's progress, and sometimes that progress isn't seen by...
30:14
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, a lot of eyes, but if you understand through good times and setbacks, if you continue to push, you'll continue to be open to learning and you'll continue to work together and prepare.
30:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Then the progress starts to continue to show up and I think that a front
30:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, tonight, we, we were in a really good spot that, uh, we had, we had confidence in running the football.
30:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, when we started the game, and then maybe even more so as the game, um, continued to unfold.
30:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you see any indications through the week that breaking through and winning last week was affecting any of the preparation and what we then saw tonight?
31:06
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, last week's game, I mean, it was a big win for us, but also kind of the mindset in the locker room, or the meeting room on Sunday, that was not going to win as this one.
31:19
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, our habits.
31:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I wish you could carry them over, but certainly there's, you know, there's a process of winning or playing winning football and the guys understood, you know,
31:33
[SPEAKER_02]: last week after the game, how meaningful that was.
31:38
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think there's a chance that made him even hungrier to continue to pour into the process.
31:46
[SPEAKER_02]: And now this one's over.
31:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And the day is already over.
31:53
[SPEAKER_02]: So whatever calendar day it is, we lost today.
31:56
[SPEAKER_02]: We got to go to work.
31:58
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, just speak to FOMA and EASHA board and I, I mean,
32:03
[SPEAKER_13]: Hard to tackle a loose-up good feet.
32:06
[SPEAKER_13]: I mean to just speak to his effort tonight.
32:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, tremendous He's got a heart of a champion and outstanding young man They he's got a 4.0 GPA.
32:17
[SPEAKER_02]: He works every day
32:19
[SPEAKER_02]: It's hard as he can work, he's a leader on our team.
32:23
[SPEAKER_02]: His personality is infectious within the locker room.
32:26
[SPEAKER_02]: It means something to him.
32:28
[SPEAKER_02]: He cares about his teammates, he's very selfless.
32:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And he runs, you know, he's finishing runs going forward.
32:40
[SPEAKER_02]: How important that is with the pad level, he continued to show up tonight and certainly happy for him.
32:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Coach.
32:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks, Coach.
32:52
[SPEAKER_02]: The one thing I'm sorry, Cough, the one thing I didn't mention, I meant to starting off very thankful for the crowd tonight and the initiative with Hammerdown in Cancer Research.
33:07
[SPEAKER_02]: It's near and dear to this program for a number of reasons on a lot of different levels that you look around the world.
33:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And most everywhere you go, there's pride points that are brought up about Purdue and they see the Ford-Leaning P.
33:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's always innovation.
33:24
[SPEAKER_02]: It's always astronauts, usually get to the conversation of Drew Breeze, and you always get to the conversation of Tyler Trent.
33:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And how important that is to the people of Purdue, and for us to do all our small part in helping that initiative very excited for Purdue nation tonight to have that victory on tonight
34:01
[SPEAKER_10]: Each of you, in general, just the fact that you transferred in from Minnesota, just what did it feel like today, seeing that old team be your competitor?
34:10
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, my mindset was kind of not to make it by myself, to make it by my teammates.
34:17
[SPEAKER_06]: It was an opportunity for me to show them how much I care about them, how much I love them, with how I played, to show them their my brothers now, and my family, and I'm ready to
34:29
[SPEAKER_06]: This is a great opportunity for me to show my love for my teammates, and that's the mindset I had going into the game.
34:35
[SPEAKER_09]: Is that the game ball, Jodo?
34:36
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yes, sir.
34:40
[SPEAKER_09]: Can you tell me, uh, I guess just over the last two weeks, and I guess, for you can answer this, too.
34:46
[SPEAKER_09]: It's something change within the defense where, you know, you almost take it personally when people are calling for your coordinator to be replaced and things of that sort.
34:56
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, as you say, like,
34:58
[SPEAKER_07]: The biggest thing is just yelling together and continue to communicate and blot the outside noise Like we hear what everybody say and we just got to keep our head down like there's this been the preaching all week Even in this game just don't even look up just keep your keep going and and it shows I just want to say like when you got a leader like coach Odom and coach Kane and all these coaches like
35:23
[SPEAKER_05]: We were, we wasn't phase by anything, like we knew we were bounce back, we knew we had better games, we knew we were going to juggle together, so this is something that we knew was going to happen.
35:30
[SPEAKER_05]: So we're not shocked, we're not phase by any others.
35:40
[SPEAKER_13]: And just, just talk about running the football on that run, you're in more than you had all year and I'll see you are very impactful doing that.
35:47
[SPEAKER_13]: Was that part of the plan that I knew?
35:49
[SPEAKER_13]: And did you like tucking it on it?
35:52
[SPEAKER_12]: uh yeah honestly it wasn't really part of the plan um no honestly the big part of it was I will uh family's run on the ball um gave me some opportunities to pull the ball um honestly it wasn't really part of the plan a couple times like talked the ball and ran against man coverage and they didn't have anybody because of quarterback but um I loo than that you know the play just kind of happened came to me um reacted and just tried to make the best play for my team
36:17
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah Kirk, Kirk, just talk about the defense, like 25 yards of rush, and you guys allowed coach home and talked about how you really control the line of scrimmage, just to speak to that dominance that the deal I showed tonight there.
36:30
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I think the challenge for us was just to be more physical, and I think that's what we had to put on tape today for us to win in the game.
36:36
[SPEAKER_05]: I think we had to win the trenches, establish the run on offense, and dominate the trenches on defense.
36:42
[SPEAKER_05]: So I think we established
36:49
[SPEAKER_04]: We've seen the last few weeks, you were still running hard to the yards where maybe just harder to get some of those games.
36:56
[SPEAKER_04]: What was different tonight to seem like you were getting into the second level before you're getting touched a lot more tonight?
37:02
[SPEAKER_04]: How much of that was how you guys had things skimmed up to specifically attack them with the counters and stuff?
37:09
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I want to give credit to my old line.
37:10
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, an amazing job.
37:12
[SPEAKER_06]: Allow me to get to the second level.
37:14
[SPEAKER_06]: And we had a great game plan, we always have a great game plan, and we really executed throughout the week.
37:21
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's not something that kind of happened today, it was something that we built on throughout the week, executing our practice and being shot by practice.
37:29
[SPEAKER_06]: And it all just came to came to light today.
37:31
[SPEAKER_06]: So I couldn't have done any of these stats or any of these touchdowns without my whole line and huge credit to them.
37:39
[SPEAKER_01]: We're back this week, guys.
37:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Ryan, you watched as Coach Odom Brandon Lee, everybody kind of put together a plan, maybe especially on the offensive of the defensive lines, what they wanted this team to be this year.
37:55
[SPEAKER_04]: Just how much of what they were talking about then did you see kind of coming to fruition tonight?
38:01
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, all of it, I believe in them, obviously.
38:05
[SPEAKER_12]: They're doing a great job, but it's nothing tonight that happened that,
38:12
[SPEAKER_12]: It makes me like, okay, while I've believed in them the whole time, I've believed in the journey, and I believe in the process.
38:19
[SPEAKER_12]: And this is just part of it, but we're gonna keep going.
38:22
[SPEAKER_08]: All of Ryan's start, but if any of you guys also want to comment on it, just what was it like to feel the atmosphere tonight of this game, you know, when you guys are playing as well across all three phases as you did, but then, you know, to see the crowd react in the way that they did and appreciate this win for what it means to the program.
38:37
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, it's, it's amazing, these fans of Purdue deserve it to win, and it's amazing to be able to give that to them.
38:44
[SPEAKER_12]: The atmosphere was obviously amazing, and I look forward to another Friday night.
38:48
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, Friday night game next week.
38:52
[SPEAKER_13]: And you guys keep this mode of going out.
38:54
[SPEAKER_13]: Two wins in a row.
38:56
[SPEAKER_13]: First time that previous one back to back, big 10 games since the end of 2022.
39:01
[SPEAKER_13]: I had to keep this bulk, this trend going.
39:05
[SPEAKER_07]: I just say we just got to all have the same mentality from office, defense, and special teams, and just keep the trend going.
39:12
[SPEAKER_07]: Like I said, we just got to keep our head down and keep moving forward.
39:15
[SPEAKER_07]: Like all they said, it's stated up here.
39:16
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not a surprise.
39:18
[SPEAKER_07]: It's just that we got to do our job at execute.
39:23
[SPEAKER_11]: up on that.
39:24
[SPEAKER_11]: What do you think this team has to shepherd about itself through these consecutive big ten wins?
39:30
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll say just a statement.
39:33
[SPEAKER_07]: Not only a statement is just prove it to ourselves, who we are, what we what we do.
39:39
[SPEAKER_07]: Day in the day out, especially like our scout team, especially teams, office, defense, good on good, just everything is going to it's going to show.
39:51
[SPEAKER_09]: When you were here before, do you feel like this team is starting to grasp the identity of your head coach a little bit more, maybe then it did at this point last year?
40:01
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, absolutely.
40:01
[SPEAKER_12]: I think everybody's bought in, and obviously getting away in last week makes it a lot easier for anybody who doesn't believe to be like, okay, like my belief is confirmed.
40:15
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, so I think that's done a lot.
40:22
[SPEAKER_12]: But, you know, I definitely think Coach Oden was a personality, um, you know, sets the culture of this team.
40:28
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, thanks, guys.
40:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks everybody.
40:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much.
40:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
