Purdue played some great fundamental football last weekend. They connected on a lot of their passes and ran the ball very well, and yes, a couple of huge trick plays helped their stats quite a bit. But what impressed me the most was Siller ability to play smart football. He never got in trouble and just heaved a pass up just to get rid of it. He held on to it and would either take the sack or throw it away out of bounds. There is no need to throw an interception when you could easily just lose a down and maybe a couple of yards.
Justin Siller will have to play another great game this weekend at number 18 Michigan State. If Purdue has any chance for an upset, Siller cannot turn the ball over at all or else the Michigan State defense will make us suffer. Kory Sheets needs to be at the top of his game and be a playmaker for the Boilers. He needs to break a couple tackles and get some long runs to open up the passing game and play action. Michigan State could be one of the toughest games we will play, but if we play good fundamental football, Purdue has a chance to come out on top.
