Purdue's Barry Odom Speaks on Decision to Make Defensive Coordinator Change
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Barry Odom was forced to make a difficult decision on Sunday morning. After Purdue suffered a 34-29 loss to Maryland and dropped its third straight game, he parted ways with defensive coordinator Kevin Kane.
Purdue's defense has struggled through a majority of the season, ranking 124th in points allowed, 99th in run defense, 116th in pass defense, 123rd in yards allowed and 131st in opponent third-down conversion rate. No aspect of the Boilermaker defense has been good.
