Purdue Football: Don’t Put This on the Defense
I’ve been cruising around the internet (lots of weird stuff online these days) trying to get the overall vibe being put out by Purdue fans after the Wisconsin game. I’m seeing plenty of angst regarding the defense. I’m here to tell you that you can’t put any of this on Defensive Coordinator Nick Holt or the defense. They are bad, but the coaches knew they were going to be bad coming into the season. If you’re looking to assign blame for the Wisconsin loss (and a few other losses this season), you’ve got to look at the offense and Jeff Brohm (sacrilege I know,).
How can I blame the offense?
It all goes back to the to Purdue’s 2018 recruiting class.
