per the AP:

Coach Jeff Brohm came to Purdue with a reputation as a creative genius.

His offenses were fast, fun and fearless. They scored points by the dozens, winning shootouts.

So when the Boilermakers’ defensive struggles became the obstacle, Brohm jumped in. He changed coaches, philosophies and changed direction.

On Saturday, Purdue’s revamped defense will find out how much progress its made against an old nemesis with a visit from Minnesota.

“We’ve been awful against them on offense,” Brohm said. “Two years ago, their quarterback came in here and you would have thought he was Joe Montana. He completed 21 of 22 passes and it was not good defense, is a nice way of putting it. Last year, we played better against the run, but we let them throw inside fade routes all day.”


Go Gophers!!
