  [SPEAKER_01]: You are listening to the Purdue Report with Jake Dunn, and it's only on the Central Indiana Sports and on today's Purdue Report.
• 0:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're gonna be previewing Purdue Game Number One of the 2026 season against the Indiana State's Sikomores.
• 0:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jake, the season begins tomorrow.
• 0:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and does, this is the beginning of year two under Bariodum and under that Bariodum experiment.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's what makes this game more interesting than otherwise would be trying to answer what does Purdue look like in year two.
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, Purdue should be Indian State and Purdue will be State for his 15-0 all-time against FCS opponents and seven-0 against Indian State.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: The last two meetings that they met,
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: and then 49 to zero, respectively, so the question really isn't, you know, can't put it away, and obviously they will win.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's Indian state and probably won by a large margin, but their question isn't what just proved look like when it's winning, this is gonna be the first test to really kind of see what this Purdue team could be good at and to see the difference from last year, see the improvement that it's been talked about all off season, and really kind of get a feel,
• 1:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: for how this team should look when things are going well and what we can expect from the team this season.
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's more about, is the team look fast?
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Does the offensive and defensive line how much do they move the line of scrimmage?
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Those are the kinds of things we're going to be looking at because after this game Jake, it gets brutal.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's something that Coach Odom and his game week press conference this week.
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Coach Odom emphasized how important the first seven games are with five of those being at Ross Aid.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: You talked about how much work this team has put into the studio where he
• 2:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is a team that's been building towards this moment to show the world all the work they've put in.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, the team has to show up when somebody wearing a different uniform is standing across the land skirmish, which is something that they haven't had obviously all year.
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: So there's a lot of excitement around this season and it's kind of getting started and having the importance of that own field opportunity with the season opener.
• 2:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it's necessarily downside, but Coach Yoda and my feel like this is always talking in coach speed and it can hard to decipher sometimes what he is really feeling or a ways for me thinking.
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was saying it's a good or bad thing, but if the team was bad or had made a lot of improvements, he would not show it, but yeah, I'm excited for the season and should be hopefully a pretty easy game and a game that Bruno can kind of try different things out.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: and kind of get accommated to Kevin Kane to defense that he'll have and just know everybody getting comfortable and you're really both teams for defense and offense and special teams as well.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, with Matt Payner, you typically get the mood of how things are going with Barry, Adam, you don't.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: By the way, very nice of Indiana State to go ahead and play a game before Purdue, so we have a little bit of information on them.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: But let's spend this first part talking about Purdue and Jake in particular, what you're most interested in seeing on Friday.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: We've talked quite a bit this off season about this team and how much Helen that they think they've brought in through the portal this off season.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: So really, I'm not going to be too caught up in the scoring margin here in how much pre-wence by I'm going to be more watching for how the offensive line handles the team like in the end state.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would love obviously to see.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: to produce really on off attend defense, you know, have those front lines really dominate the game.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm looking for.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to see Purdue be able to run the ball really well that something with the Jeff Brom offenses through, can't lack the little bit, never really had like a true great running back.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Devin Baku, it was really the closest to that and he is a very great running back.
• 4:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you know, it's never never like a
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: super dominant like you know, like some of these stars are that are getting your drafts and the top rounds in a fell and I'm not now saying that Purdue has somebody like down the roster but we really like to have Purdue be able to run the football here with authority because if not then your teams are going to
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: last year that didn't work out too well and in passing game for Ryan Brown, he had some moments for sure, but after his injuries, they were really the same and then on the defensive side, obviously, how Purdue tackles, especially in the Ryan Walter's era and a little bit last year as well, Purdue is kind of struggled with.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: being able to tackle guys, missing tackles or guys breaking through the tackle attempts from the Purdue defense.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: So looking for that, looking for really the energy, Purdue plays with even after the first quarter after the game might already be, you know, kind of out of hand, looking to see if Purdue still plays with energy and really seeing what this depth is made of, whether or not they can, can kind of keep the foot on the gas.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So to speak, against Indian
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: What I want to see is on offense, how smoothly things run, Ryan Brown's experience, the offense should run smoothly from day one, and I think it will.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: On defense, I want to see how disruptive they are, I want to see playmaking.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's one thing they've really, really lacked is playmaking on defense.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: And those are the two things I'm going to be looking at, in particular.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Caine said in his game week press conference.
• 6:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: He had Josh Henson then, as well as Coach Odom, Kevin Caine said in his post conference, he was looking to see the toughness, physicality, a relentless motor, and really just everybody flying into the football.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was his kind of checklist for Friday night.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he doesn't need to unveil some revolutionary defensive scheme for this game.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I always want to see whether this defense looks like where it wants to be in Kevin Caine's first cent with Purdue.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: He he was not necessarily the one called the offense.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's been reported that Ryan Walters was was really the one called the heart you called the defense rather In Kevin Caine's first stand.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So this will be Kevin Caine's first opportunity to really call his defense at Purdue.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And this is his return obviously was a wasn't beloved.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: We were kind of scratching our heads when when the news broke that
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be back in Peru.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think this is a great opportunity to come out and show not only Peru fans, but just the college football landscape.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Why they should believe this is going to work this time around.
• 7:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, why this time will be different.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you haven't yet, please check out this week's Purdue Report with Jake Dunn, where Jake and I talked about the trade
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Purdue football new depth chart announced.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, our Jekyll is talking about Indiana State.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, nice enough to have a first game of the season.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we know exactly what we're talking about.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: What we're talking about here, Jake, is an Indiana team that expects to have its best team in years and showed it in its first game of the season.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: It really good FCS program and Southeast Missouri State had 23-21 lost now, Southeast Missouri State's no longer an FCS program, but that level of program, but really good performance in the first game a lot back on defense and a lot of talent on offense led
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: pretty good in their first game 23 for 32, 280 yards and two touchdowns and he has a lot of weapons to throw to including an all-American level receiver and Kishan singles in and this is not going to be quite as easy as most Indiana State Games was still should be an easy win for the boy that make.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think so as well, Indian state out of decent game against southeast Missouri, like you mentioned, they were down 17 to 7 and then they actually had up taken the lead, 21 to 20.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: They lost on a late field goal there, Elijah Owens through for 280 yards.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the one game kind of struggled there, but Indian state was able to get kind of this first first game jitters out of their system.
• 9:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Whereas Peru will be battle in those Friday night, but at least there is some film, like you're saying, that the steam can study, they kind of know a little bit more what to expect.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: But in the United States, already knows, you know, kind of what games field feels like I haven't had that first game on their belt, whereas Peru doesn't still think, Peru should win.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know the early line.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Peru is favorite by like 35 and a half.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think I'd still take.
• 9:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Purdue without wine, I think, although a new state might be a little bit improved there.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still think Peru should, after way, pretty easily.
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jake, they might be a lot improved.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: In fact, toward the end of the last year, they were beating some pretty good teams, including South Dakota State, a team that's had success against higher level opponents.
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think 35 is about right, and I wouldn't touch that,
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: the end of this podcast is going to be 49 to 14.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: So.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I hope that I'm right.
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: You usually I'm saying to help that you're right, but I hope that I'm right here.
• 10:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can have you have have their way pretty, pretty easily, but I think that they're certainly our advantages for both teams, I guess, for having Indiana.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: state about already a played one game.
• 10:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: My nephew is an all conference running back in that conference the last couple of years So I've been following it and I'm telling you man, this this Indiana State team is not gonna be the pushover because not only are they an FCS program they've been a bad FCS program, but I think they're the worst of middling FCS program now
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: great job by Kurt Mallory turning that program.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: It turned a took him a while, but he's really got this program headed in the right direction.
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: You would certainly know.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: a lot more about that than I would and you know, I think I really know about it in a state football just to produce being a pretty easily.
• 11:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Over the past few years, I'll take your work on it.
• 11:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: They got help from them right up through and handle them pretty easily, but I would love to see pretty Alan kind of get his shot here to play against his old team as.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Many of our listeners probably remember he was a guy, you know, pretty highly recruited from my Gibson Southern and I won Indiana Mr. Football, signed with Jeff Brom and Purdue didn't really play at Purdue, French at a Google with Coach Brom and spent three seasons there.
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And now he is at Indiana State, or he is the backup.
• 11:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So kind of a funny twist here, a pretty Allen actually played against Indiana State, or he was at Purdue.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: So now he's on the other side line and maybe begin to have a chance to play for Indiana State against Purdue, I think that could be kind of a fun storyline there, especially late in the game with the games are already at a hand, but I get no big cool to see.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, Jake, I said that I think that it's going to be about 35 points.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was going to say something like 49 to 14 or 45 to 10.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really think the offense is going to have their way.
• 12:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the Indiana State offense will get itself on the board a couple of times.
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Give me 49, 14, Boathermakers.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: What are you thinking?
• 12:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a pretty reasonable score for this game.
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think, again, as long as Purdue can just look competent, I think they should be able to handle in the United States very easily.
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I knew an ultimate that we should talk about here as well.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Purdue recently announced thanks to a donation from Owens' families.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: the U.F.
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: to rebuild is coming back through the Perufible program.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I did not really know that the Perufible was even a thing until this announcement came out.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe that's just not until the barrio to them press conference.
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it's a cool idea.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So apparently back in the day back with Perufible first started in the.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: early 20th century, whatever Purdue would get a victory against a conference opponent, Purdue would have somebody go and ring the victory bell.
• 13:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was not specified whether or not this would be rang after just conference games or it would be.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Don Cox.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it was.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, Barry Odom said it will be everyone.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, home or away.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, all right.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, hopefully we'll hear this victory bell.
• 13:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: thing to drive fan engagement after a few bad season to your.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think this fits into the overall scheme of the program or make schemas right work, but Purdue doesn't need another.
• 13:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: moral victory here.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Prie is looking for ways to get actual wins and in finding ways to celebrate those to keep building momentum.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's a pretty unique idea of having somebody and I give some money to bring this back and hopefully it'll be a tradition that that lasts for a long time.
• 14:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully the very own can bring for you back to a program where can be ringing that bell spread every game.
• 14:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, everybody, make sure you go and listen to the Purdue report this week.
• 14:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you are interested in Purdue football, because we broke down the two deep depth chart.
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it was a lot of fun.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: One thing we didn't talk about, Jake was Yacobo, Etchavaria is the place kicker.
• 14:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I have a question for you.
• 14:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: You said your final score, Purdue is going to score 48 points.
• 14:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is that because they score six touchdowns and two field goals in Etchavaria is great.
• 14:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Or is it because they score seven touchdowns and he misses one.
• 14:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I certainly hope he doesn't miss one.
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was a good thing a couple of few goals there.
• 14:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So are a good, but yeah, yep.
• 14:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: So and I didn't just bring it up because I wanted to say, Yakobo, at Javaria.
• 15:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's from Bogotá, Colombia, I believe, is where he was born.
• 15:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: So really cool name, and hopefully you can be in the line here for Purdue's great kickers over the years.
• 15:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, it's been a while since we've really had a super solid one.
• 15:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Going back to Jeff from days.
• 15:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: So excited for him, it seems like a lot of people around the program seem to be
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Bell Hamon is potential, so I look forward to seeing that year and now.
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Rulton, play out the season.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yacobo, at Javaria, Luzano.
• 15:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Jake, thank you so much.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm a seven on a scale of one to ten, just because I really want this very autumn thing to work.
• 15:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, me too.
• 15:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it'd be really hard.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously for for the program, but for the University as a whole, if you had to fire Coach Odom after you're sick and full of seasons, and then just start right back over again from square one.
• 16:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really hope that you can turn this thing around and
• 16:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love his mentality, I'm more disciplined, coach, more of that old school mentality, and certainly I'm rooting for him to succeed and hope that why he's repeatedly said that he has everything he needs to land from the university, and to reflect funding and everything like that.
• 16:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I hope that is true and that is going to translate it into some lenses here.
• 16:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks everybody for listening.
• 16:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I appreciate it as always.
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Jake.
• 16:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: And everybody don't forget to boil our up.
• 16:43
