The Boilermakers brought an offensive guru to their program when they hired Jeff Brohm to replace Darrell Hazell as the team's head coach, and Purdue is already seeing the new system give their offense a jump start. The Boilermakers have seen their yards per play and points per game take a step forward so far this season, and their offense has already looked more efficient and explosive with Brohm's scheme in place.

Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst was asked about Purdue's new offensive approach during his press conference on Monday, and Chryst said that he respects Brohm's scheme because it's a well thought-out system.

"It’s truly an offensive system where everything kind of complements each other," Chryst said Monday. "The plays complement, and I think they do a good job of making you have to defend the whole field. And then obviously I think they do a heck of a job coaching it because to get that kind of execution and what looks to be understanding in a short time, it’s impressive. It’s a system. It’s not just a bunch of different plays that are being run. It all packages together."

The Boilermakers are going to pass more often on standard downs than the average college football team, and so far this season have averaged more than 36 pass attempts per game - enough to get both David Blough and Elijah Sindelar enough work in a given game. And defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard said that the Boilermakers will test his defense's discipline as they try and show the Badgers a variety of different sets and plays.

"They do a lot of different things, whether it's run or pass game, to test your eye discipline," Leonhard said Wednesday. "Most people call them gadgets - (but) they run so many of them it's just part of their offense. It's who they are. They execute them very well. To us it isn't really a gadget week. It's 'this is their offense.' Every single call you have to understand how to make adjustments, you have to understand where your eyes need to be, or that's where they kill people."
