God DAMN it. I knew there was something about this matchup that made me wary.
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Aidan O'Connell threw for 375 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, David Bell had a career-best 240 yards receiving, and Purdue continued its recent mastery over No. 2 Iowa with a 24-7 upset Saturday.
The Boilermakers (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) have won four of their past five games against the Hawkeyes (6-1, 3-1).
...Purdue used backup quarterbacks Jack Plummer and Austin Burton in select situations. All three [QB's] were in on different plays during the Boilermakers' first-quarter drive that ended with [Adrian] O'Connell's 6-yard touchdown run for a 7-0 lead.
"It was just so fun,'' O'Connell said, comparing the quarterback shuffle to line changes in hockey.
Yo Adrian, that's our opinion.
That is a very innteresting strategy. That will FUCK UP a defensive coordinator's game plan, I'll tell ya.
Mike Gottfried talked, maybe did, I know talked, about sending in whole different platoons on one side of the ball or the other when he coached at Pitt. He was struck by Rick Pitino doing it in basketball at Kentucky. Course, you can only do that when you recruit like Pitino did at KY or like Gottfried did at Pitt. I don't think Gottfried tried that at Pitt, I don't think that's realistic when you have to sub in 11 guys...Maybe at Alabama now? I think routing in two or three different QB's like Purdue's coach did today or key personnel on defense that changes the entire scheme from a 4-3 to a 3-4 or some such, accomplishes the same thing. The goal is to give the opponent a completely different look that they would not be prepared for.
I-o-wa
Win-ter, Spring, Summer, and Fall-all

At the beauteeful I-o-wa FAIL!
