Running back has been a source of personal frustration during the Brohm era of Purdue football. I will once again tell everyone that Brohm’s offense works much better when the defense has to account for the run game. His run game at Western Kentucky (featuring a speed back) made his offense one of the best in college football.
That’s yet to manifest in West Lafayette, and maybe it never will. Brohm essentially went full air raid in 2021. I think there is a hard ceiling on that system in West Lafayette because you’re guaranteed at least 1 “the weather is ass” game, but in reality, could face several other games where throwing the ball during a maelstrom is a possibility.
