for fun I asked ChatGPT 4 to write a memorandum summarizing Purdoodoo's offensive and defensive strengths and weaknesses in 2023


DATE: October 22, 2023
SUBJECT: 2023 Purdoodoo Football Offensive and Defensive Analysis

II. Offensive Strengths

1. Quarterback Play: Purdoodoo's quarterback has shown consistent growth since the beginning of the season, with accuracy and decision-making improving game by game.
2. Versatile Running Backs: The running back committee has provided a dual-threat capability, both in the running and passing game. This versatility has given the offensive coordinator options to diversify play-calling.
3. Offensive Line Performance: There has been notable cohesion among the offensive linemen, allowing for longer pocket protection and creating clear running paths for the backs.

III. Offensive Weaknesses

1. Red Zone Efficiency: Despite strong drives into the opponent's territory, the team has occasionally struggled to convert these into touchdowns once within the 20-yard line.
2. Turnovers: Ball security has been an issue in critical situations, with fumbles and interceptions sometimes halting promising drives.
3. Third Down Conversions: The team needs to work on converting third downs more consistently to sustain drives and keep the defense off the field.

IV. Defensive Strengths

1. Pass Rush: The defensive line has been effective in putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks, resulting in a good number of sacks and hurries.
2. Secondary Play: The cornerbacks and safeties have been effective in pass coverage, limiting big plays and securing interceptions when opportunities arise.
3. Linebacker Versatility: Linebackers have excelled in both run-stopping and coverage, allowing the defensive coordinator to employ a variety of schemes.

V. Defensive Weaknesses

1. Run Defense: While the defensive line has been effective against the pass, they've occasionally been susceptible to powerful running games, particularly up the middle.
2. Discipline: Penalties, especially in crucial situations, have given opposing teams extra chances and better field position.
3. Deep Ball Vulnerability: Despite the overall strong play of the secondary, there have been instances where receivers got behind the defense, resulting in big gains.

VI. Conclusion
The 2023 Purdoodoo football team exhibits a strong combination of talent, skill, and coaching. significant yard gains.

One thing to keep an eye on: the Syracuse qb ran wild against them earlier this season: 25 carries 195 yards 4TDs. I'm sure they've tightened it up since then.

Worse than NW?

#DuckKnowsBalls. When will you fools listen.

FWIW, Purdoodoo is 40th in pass blocking and 47th in run blocking out of 68 P5 teams for the season so far per PFF.

NW is 61st in PB, 54th in RB

Nebraska is 51st in PB, 28th in RB.

Worse than NW?

They lost Marcus Mbow, a future NFL Left Tackle (broken leg) in the Cockeye game. His replacement, a former back up at Kent State, has allowed 6 sacks in the last 6 quarters of football.

Purdoodoo does have a very good Center who's better than the Center at NW, but they have 3 new transfer starters from Kent State, Charleston Southern, and Bowling Green. Their only other backup tackle is a transfer from Indiana Wesleyan, of the NAIA.

Its crazy what transferred out of Purdoodoo. Brohm was a good football coach:

Spencer Holstege - starting RG at UCLA
Sione Finau - Starting LG at Arizona State
Eric Miller - now the starting RT at Louisville

Jack Sullivan - Starting DE at USC
Branson Deen- Starting DT at Miami
Lawrence Johnson - DT at Auburn


Purdoodoo could've potentially had a top 3 offensive and defensive line in the Big Ten this season. But everybody told that new Coach to Fuck off.

FWIW, Purdoodoo is 40th in pass blocking and 47th in run blocking out of 68 P5 teams for the season so far per PFF.

NW is 61st in PB, 54th in RB

Nebraska is 51st in PB, 28th in RB.

Those pass blocking numbers for Purdoodoo are going to continue to go downhill the rest of the season. They've allowed 9 sacks in the last 2 games.
