Everything Jeff Brohm said at his press conference following Week 1
Published:
Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm met with the media on Monday, coming off the Boilermakers season-opening 23-14 win over Oregon State.
While not a perfect showing, it was good enough to get past the Beavers and was a needed win to open a season for a program looking to move forward after a difficult two seasons.
While the win was a solid one for the Boilermakers, Brohm indicated that they need to get better, and not be overconfident heading into this weekend’s game with an overmatched Connecticut team, with the Boilermakers going in as heavy favorites.
Brohm also provided an injury update and gave some general comments on the team.
Here is more of what the Purdue coach had to say.

Brohm: C Gus Hartwig most consistent OL vs. Oregon State. Must get better at other spots.

Brohm: Played pretty clean, penalty-wise, vs. Oregon State. Had delay of game on FG team. Holder took too long. On same play, an assistant was on the field, getting unsportsmanlike penalty.

Brohm: "Our offensive players and defensive players did a great job, we need to do better as coaches."

Brohm: Read team scores from some upset games in Week One to let players know upsets can happen. Purdue a 33-point favorite this weekend vs. UConn.

Brohm: Always leery to play a true freshman in first game. Wants to be cautious. A few will end up playing this year.

Brohm: UConn will be motivated by Edsall announcing he will step down after 2021. They will be energized by having a Big Ten team coming in.

DaMarcus Mitchell missed a good chunk of camp due to injury and believe Kydran Jenkins deserved the start.
