It truly is a new era in West Lafayette. In just year two under Jeff Brohm Purdue has now had a Player of the Week honoree in four of five weeks during the 2018 season. I am not sure we had four through the entire Hazell era. This week’s was a surprise as Joe Schopper was named the Special Teams Player of the Week.
Schopper was dropping punts allover the place Saturday afternoon. Of his seven punts, five were downed inside the 20 yard line. That is a large reason that Nebraska’s 580+ yards of total offense was mostly ineffective.
