Good news.. Purdue’s QB is definitely NOT a runner

[MontyPython]

We need a bowl game against a qb with no arms, and no legs!

Wasn't that "Matt" Corral?

 

[Zues1]

Boliermakers gonna get steam rolled.

 

[FBtime]

So like Kenny Pickett nice

NOT at all like Pickett who is actually a fairly decent runner

 

[savannahfan]

Not so fast my friend! My guess is you could clock O'Connell's 40 time with a sun dial and his shuttle run with an hourglass so Bank's boys gonna treat him like a pinata at Marisol's 16th birthday party. Vols by 21+

If they can get to him before he throws it...

Pioneer of the fake slide that is about to be banned. Yeah I would say a decent runner!

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Why run when you can complete 75% of your passes. We do not match up well vs Pur, especially with Tae out.

Nonsense! We are going to beat them like they owe us money.

We need a bowl game against a qb with no arms, and no legs!

So, we need a game against a QB with just a flesh wound...

He’s rushed for -111 yards on 22 carries.

Now he’s a strong passer, but clearly gets sacked a lot, and we don’t have to worry about those 3rd and long scrambles for a 1st down.

Don't worry buddy, our defense can help turn you into that punishing Dual Threat QB you always dreamed about.

But we do pressure the QB pretty well. And since he isn't likely to be escaping the pocket, we'll have ample opportunity for to make negative plays and force TOs.

That being said, I haven't watched of Purdue this year to know how their offense operates. But typically when a QB has a completion percentage that high, it's typically because 90% of their passes are traveling less than 10 yards in the air. A lot of screens, quick slants, and outs. Essentially, offenses like that are designed to get the ball out quick and let the WRs make a play. Again, I haven't watched Purdue to know if that's the case, but if it is, I think our defense matches up well with that sort of offense.

I’ll take facing a running QB 10 times out of 10 vs a 72% passer.

+3,000 yards means something,

 

[Brave Volunteer]

I’ll take facing a running QB 10 times out of 10 vs a 72% passer.

He's going to be without his #1 WR. Purdue will also be without their #1 defensive player. I'm telling you, we are going to lay a country ass whipping on the Boilermakers!

 

[Percival]

Bad news, he can likely throw a slant ..

 

[FLVOL_79]

Tennessee can make the most pedestrian QB look like Ben Johnson chasing down the nearest dope dealer.

He'll get some positive yards..

 

[CAVPUT]

Now if we can find an opponent with a QB who can't run or pass, we're sittin' pretty.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

+3,000 yards means something,

It means Bell had a lot of YAC.

 

[Mccage]

Best player in secondary out vs a QB w a 90 QBR and 73% comp on the year. What part are you struggling to understand?

27% of the time he throws an incompletion?

 

[chuckb1448]

So by this logic we don’t match up well against QB’s that can run…. and we don’t match up well against QB’s that can pass…..

Yes.... let's cancel this game
