Is Purdy Hurt?

[twojman]

Three things:

No deep balls. I don't care if Butler is not here you can go long. I think there was one pass of about 20 yards but it was horrible, wobbly and wildy inaccurate. Reminded me of a Paul Rhoads coached QB.

Rewatch the game and look at most of Purdy's throws. His motion looked awful, seemed pretty different from last year.

No carries for Purdy. He had 2 'carries' but they were actually sacked for those. The Purdy TD that was called back, he was EXTREMELY hesitant to run on that play, almost scared.

Maybe I am crazy but maybe I am seeing something.

I have no idea if he is hurt...but I hate when he throws off of his back foot! I get that it happens sometimes due to pressure or being on the run but he seems to throw off his back foot on touch passes! I love the kid and love that he is our QB...just nit-picking a bit!

I think it was a combination of vanilla offense and Purdy possibly being sick. While there were a couple questionable throws I thought he had nice zip on some passes.

True...the TD pass in OT was perfect!

offensive line is hurt more like it
purdy running for his life in the 2nd half
everytime they tried to go deep he had to scramble
and he seemed a bit sluggish and tired
a bye week and one game under the belt will perk the team up

I just think he was rusty. He had good moments today too.

He needs to learn to step up in the pocket instead of drifting backwards. That's why he throws a lot off his back foot IMO. If he steps up, he can step into his throws.

Who said he was sick

No "REAL" RPO... Made it allot easier for UNI defend and took a vital piece of our offense away! Seems like way too much over reaction by the staff to keep Brock healthy.

 

[ArgentCy]

He's either hurt or the staff threatened his family if he left the pocket. I'm leaning towards the latter.

 

[Clonehomer]

I think that was directed by the coaches. When the game was on the line he took off on a scramble and dove on the loose ball. I think the coaches thought they could just line em up and win without doing anything special.

Hopefully we see a different player in two weeks.

Meanwhile WVU is up by 7 against JMU. Looks like Vegas had that one nailed.

I am speculating like OP is.

Didn't see any Purdy runs vs Drake either. That's a staple of his game, and apparently CMC doesn't want to run it vs non D1 programs.

No designed QB runs. Only one scramble where he did the Purdy things we all love. Got going throwing the ball down the sidelines then got away from it. I don’t really get the play calling.

Agree seems like they told him not to even think about running

 

[Gunnerclone]

I’m going to chalk this one up as the coaching staff getting cute. We will find out.

They went conservative this game and I’m scared CMC does it against the hoks too. I know it’s non con games but sometimes I think they want to keep a more complex offense for Big 12 play.

As I said in the game thread and @FinalFourCy agreed with CMC’s “KFish” (for lack of a better comparable) game management tendencies are worrisome at times. We can’t afford to play that game imo.
