READ

The coach's read

SHELL AIgrounded in the numbers above
KEY 01
Hold the run first on early downs. Purdue runs 48.6% on first down with a first-down PPA of -0.06, meaning their ground game is already losing them value before they even get to a down-and-distance situation. Win the first-down run fit consistently and you force them into negative game script before the half.
KEY 02
Anticipate pass on 2nd and long and 3rd and long. They throw it 61.8% of the time on 2nd and long and 70.6% on 3rd and long. With a 40.5% third-down conversion rate, they are already struggling in those spots. Get into coverage structure early on obvious passing downs and make them earn every chain-mover the hard way.
KEY 03
Stack the box in the red zone. Purdue runs the ball 59.8% of the time inside the 20, and with an overall PPA of only 0.12 per play, they do not have the explosive passing game to punish you for loading up against the run down there. Commit extra bodies to stopping the red zone run and force them to beat you with their arm where their offense is least efficient.
Bottom linePurdue is a slightly pass-heavy but low-efficiency offense that leans on the run when leading and in the red zone. Take away their comfort runs early and in scoring position, and their 40.5% third-down rate tells you they will not consistently move the chains when forced into obvious passing situations.
