Purdue Soccer Depth Chart Evaluation: Notre Dame – Offense

I’m undecided I have to say a lot about this efficiency, or relatively, I’m undecided there’s a lot to say that doesn’t boil right down to Notre Dame having considerably higher expertise throughout the board. Nonetheless, the distinction between an estimated 40-million-dollar roster and a 20-million-dollar roster is most noticeable on the offensive and defensive traces.

Purdue’s offensive line didn’t stand an opportunity in opposition to Notre Dame’s entrance, and subsequently, not one of the ability gamers had an opportunity to showcase their skills. By the point the receivers received into their breaks, Ryan Browne was preventing off a number of Notre Dame defensive linemen. The operating backs needed to wrestle to get previous the road of scrimmage and couldn’t discover any house to bounce the ball outdoors.

There are ranges to this sport, and Purdue isn’t on Notre Dame’s degree. The excellent news is that, in principle, the final “elite” staff Purdue performs is Indiana. I wouldn’t learn an excessive amount of into this one. Purdue shouldn’t schedule Notre Dame sooner or later. The hole in sources is just too vast to beat; don’t really feel dangerous, Purdue’s not the one staff on this scenario. The one staff the Combating Irish play this season of their spending tier is Miami.

There are nonetheless winnable video games on the schedule. This one was by no means in play.

Quarterback

*Starters in Daring

1. Ryan Browne: Snaps – 51 – Comp – 18/28 (64.3) – Yds – 111 – Td – 0 – Int – 0 – Rushes – 2 – Yds – 11
2. Evans Chuba: Snaps – 19 – Comp – 7/9 (77.8) – Yds – 67 – Td – 1 – Int – 0 – Rushes – 2 – Yds – 6

Grade: Inc

It’s laborious to judge a quarterback group that was sacked 8 occasions, hit 3 occasions, and hurried 20 occasions for a grand whole of 31 pressures on 37 passing makes an attempt. The withering Notre Dame go compelled Ryan Browne to principally function both behind or inside 10 yards of the road of scrimmage. On the uncommon events when he wasn’t operating for his life, he was fairly OK. In the event you’re in search of a constructive, I’m fairly positive he throws a minimum of 1 interception, if not 2 or 3, beneath the identical stress final season. He didn’t get rattled.

I used to be impressed with the way in which Evans Chuba dealt with mop-up responsibility. Notre Dame was on their 2nd and third string when he got here in, however that doesn’t change the truth that he executed the sport plan and led Purdue to their solely landing of the day. There’ll come a time when Evans is requested to return into an in depth recreation and run the offense. This outing gave me barely extra confidence that he’ll have the ability to deal with the fundamentals of the place (calling performs, taking the snap, getting the staff out and in of the huddle, and many others.) when/if his quantity known as.

Operating Again

1. Fame Ijeboi: Snaps – 44 – Rushes – 12 – Yds – 41 (3.4 YPC) – Tds – 0 – Rec – 2 – Yds – 6
2. Antonio Harris: Snaps – 15 – Rushes – 3 – Yds – 16 (5.3 YPC) – Tds – 0
3. Jerrick Gibson: Snaps – 12 – Rushes – 3 – Yds – 6 (1.7 YPC) – Tds – 0 – Rec – 1 – Yds – 9

Grade: Inc

Just like the quarterback place, it’s laborious to grade this group as a result of they’re reliant on an offensive line that was fully dominated by Notre Dame. Fame ran laborious, had one of many few explosive performs of the sport with a 10-yard run, and picked up 4 first downs.

For these of you who’ve been calling for extra Antonio Harris, you bought your want. He ran indignant and was Purdue’s handiest again when it comes to yards per carry. Jerrick Gibson received some work, however I’m beginning to query this Texas Longhorn reclamation venture. The previous 4* again and Texas starter hasn’t finished something that Antonio Harris can’t, and I’m assuming he’s doing it at a a lot increased worth.

Huge Receiver

1. Chauncey Magwood: Snaps – 48 – Targets – 7 – Rec – 2 – Yds – 14
2. Xavier Townsend: Snaps – 35 – Targets – 7 – Rec – 5 – Yds – 16
3. De’Nylon Morrissette: Snaps – 31 – Targets – 1 – Rec – 1 – Yds – 9
4. Assad Waseem: Snaps – 27 – Targets – 4 – Rec – 4 – Yds – 34
5. Jesse Watson: Snaps – 19 – Targets – 3 – Rec – 4 – Yds – 8
6. Bisi Owens: Snaps – 18 – Targets – 3 – Rec – 2 – Yds – 23 – Tds – 1
7. Tra’Mar Harris: Snaps – 16 – Targets – 3 – Rec – 3 – Yds – 12
8. Jaylan Hornsby: Snaps – 13
9. Brandon Kinsey: Snaps – 6

Grade: Inc

The vast receivers had been hounded all day. Browne didn’t have sufficient time to let anybody get open, and Notre Dame did an excellent job of getting Purdue’s receivers on the bottom shortly after catching the ball, if not within the act. It was good to see Bisi Owens and Tra’Mar Harris get extra concerned. Magwood and Morrissette proceed to dominate the snap depend, however neither has been higher than common. I’m hoping to see extra of Owens and Harris after the off week.

Tight Finish

1. Cooper McCutchan: Snaps – 30 – Targets – 2 – Rec – 2 – Yds – 12
2. Jackson Berryman:Snaps – 17 – Targets – 0 – Rec – 2 – Yds – 12
3. Ar’Mari Cities: Snaps – 9 – Targets – Rec – 1 – Yds – 11
4. Luca Puccinelli: Snaps – 11 – Targets – 0

Grade: C

The George Burhenn expertise continues because the oft-injured tight finish didn’t go away the bench on this recreation. True freshman Cooper McCutchan ascended to the highest of the depth chart and did OK in his first begin. He caught a few passes and did an honest job in go safety. His run blocking left one thing to be desired, however that’s not precisely stunning contemplating the extent of competitors.

Hopefully, they’re saving George for a extra winnable recreation. No, since getting him damage on this one.

Offensive Line

2. Rico Schrieber – 25

That is like saying a 1997 Toyota Corolla struggled to maintain up with a Lamborghini in a drag race. The Corolla is a pleasant, practical vehicle. It’s going to get you the place it is advisable to go usually, nevertheless it gained’t fare nicely in opposition to a high-performance machine constructed to go quick. Purdue’s line has been practical this season, however the ask was an excessive amount of on Saturday.

I don’t put a ton of inventory in PFF’s offensive line grades, however I have to say that beginning middle Boaz Stanley’s 8.7 (out of 100) go block grade is without doubt one of the lowest I’ve ever seen. Based on PFF, he gave up 5 hurries and 5 pressures to Notre Dame’s inside defensive position and dedicated a penalty. Proper sort out Jude McCoskey didn’t cowl himself in glory both, coming in with a pass-block grade of 16.7 after giving up 1 sack, 4 hurries, and 5 pressures.

Whereas the suitable aspect of the road (together with the middle) was about as efficient as site visitors cones in stopping the Notre Dame go rush, the left aspect, that includes Nuku Mafi and Brock Brownfield, truly held up respectably nicely. I nearly bumped up the general grade to a D- earlier than remembering how horrific the opposite three members of the unit had been on Saturday. For sure, the run blocking was additionally abysmal. Greater than as soon as, I fearful a Notre Dame defensive lineman could be our again on the mesh level and take the handoff instantly from Ryan Browne.

The one slight bit of excellent information is that the younger guys received some reps. The extra Purdue develops its freshmen and sophomores, the much less it has to overpay guys like Stanley and Banuelos within the portal. Granted, they weren’t significantly good outdoors of Brownfield; Rico Schrieber appeared just like the world’s largest matador, giving up a QB hit, 3 hurries, and 4 pressures, and completed the sport with an 11.8 PFF pass-block grade. Hopefully, it was an eye-opening expertise that motivates the large man to maintain engaged on his physique. 6’8”, 330 will get you a good distance in highschool, nevertheless it doesn’t imply something on the school degree except it’s paired with footwork and stability. On a extra constructive notice, Terrell Berryhill Jr. did a stable job in each go safety and run blocking in his restricted time on the sphere, granted, in opposition to Notre Dame reserves.
