GoldandBlack.com Purdue projected depth chart: Week Two
- Purdue's projected-depth-chart analysis praised Browne's arm strength but identified slower recognition of open receivers as a remaining issue, while a drop-free opener featured six Waseem catches for 107 yards and a team-leading seven receptions from Townsend.
- Purdue's Ijeboi averaged 7.9 yards per carry against Indiana State with a separate 63-yard touchdown run nullified, while the analyst questioned repeated inside runs for Terrell and recommended getting him into space, not a staff-confirmed adjustment for Wake Forest.
- Purdue offensive lineman Tanona missed the opener while recovering from an ankle injury, and the writer's suggestion of a Saturday return was speculative rather than a clearance report, with the line's failure to dominate an FCS defensive front adding uncertainty before Wake Forest.
- Purdue pressured seven of Indiana State's 23 dropbacks, but the report credited the defensive ends with only Smith's half-sack and no hurries, contrasting limited edge disruption with a more favorable assessment of tackles Neal and Jeffries and interior depth.
- Purdue's analyst identified linebacker coverage and movement in space as vulnerabilities and reported poor safety grades, despite Saunders' pick-six and team-best PFF defensive grade, with defensive backs accounting for six of the top eight tacklers and three of seven missed tackles.
