per Randy:
Each week, a reporter covering the Gophers’ opponent will be my guest to break down his or her team. This week, it’s Mike Carmin of the Lafayette (Ind.) Journal & Courier, who breaks down the Boilermakers.
Q: How have Purdue fans reacted to Jeff Brohm as coach? Do they see him as the man to return the Boilermakers to Big Ten contention?
A: From the beginning, Brohm appeared to be the right fit for the program. He’s a former college and NFL quarterback and Purdue is the Cradle of Quarterbacks, making it a near-perfect marriage on paper. His offensive style and laid back -- but demanding -- demeanor has meshed well with the fanbase, which is pleased so far with the team’s 2-2 start after four years of going nowhere. The team has played hard and with effort every game, and it’s hard to see that changing right now.
Q: What should Gophers followers expect to see out of how Purdue uses its two quarterbacks on Saturday?
A: 2-David Blough and Elijah Sindelar are two different quarterbacks. Blough is more mobile but relies on the short passing game and quick deliveries to generate production. He’s been the more accurate passer of the two, but Sindelar has been a victim of drops through the first four games. Sindelar has the stronger arm, giving the offense a chance to stretch the field, an area that needs to improve the rest of the season. Each one has started two games and both should play again this week.
