[QUOTE="Froggish, post: 2753960, member: 71860"] Just some perspective on how valuable Moore and TE Hopkins are to Purdue...They virtually have little productive offense without them. Moore is the 2nd highest targeted WR in the nation at 17.5 per game and Hopkins is the 7th highest targeted TE in the nation at just shy of 7 targets.. Another interesting fact about the Purdue offense is Moore (from the Slot) and Hopkins both are vitually the same Tar/Yrds 9.6/9.8 meaning they really want to beat you with quick passes in that 6-10 yard range. Its the same principal we see from most the Big12 teams they want to loosen you up and hit you over the top deep a few times a game. All that to say those two players alone represent almost 50% of their entire offense. One misconception I think people have is that Moore is a scoring machine. He's a nightmare between the 20's but its there creative use of the TE that is the primary focus in the redzone. If he's going to score, its generally on big plays. Look for them to target the [ Finebaum ] out of Moore on the march and use him as a decoy in the redzone. Which proves that you have to keep them from hitting you over the top. If they have to march consistently they're deficiencies in the running game will be exposed. We have to force them to grind a little and stay on the field. They won't be near as good if that have to grind. Key here is No Big Plays..Make them play dink and dump football. [/QUOTE]
