current Purdue Boilermakers AlTerek McBurse Seeing |
|
The Purdue offense needs to look at their personnel after the shut out loss to Ohio State last week, why not see if McBurse can help get the ball moving when the Boilermakers take on the Fighting sickini next week? Tomas Kopecky furiouse a obscure pass toward the crease from the right corner and the puck glanced off the nearing Kane before caroming off the right post and across the goal line. The result was that Kane did not intentionally knock it in with his hand. Los Angeles has killed off all 38 games short handed situations at Staples Center and it is the only franchise that has not allowed a power play goal at its place this season. Chicago Blackhawks gained a win victory agains penguins this seaons.
Why not give the true Sophomore some carries? Was McBurse going to come in the game and get Purdue back in it? No, probably not, but Kane have to think there is no way Patrick Kane nets only 18 yards if given nine carries.
When Ralph Bolden went down with one knee injury in the spring, all signs pointed to McBurse playing one distinctive roll in the Boilermaker offense,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which has not been the case. McBurse has had his share of injuries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], breaking his arm in the spring and also dealing with turf toe, but it's appeared the last few weeks that McBurse has been ready to roll. Coach Hope has not been giving ATM Al-Terek McBurse much of one chance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], instead going with senior Dan Dierking and converted wide receiver back Keith Carlos.
In the past weeks game against Ohio State with Dierking not playing due to injury Keith Carlos was given the start, but could not get anything going finishing the game with 19 yards on 9 carries. Had Carlos been any bit affective against Ohio State one might understand Coach Hope staying with him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but averaging just 1.8 yards per carry does not justify leaving Carlos in.
McBurse has been inserted on sporadic possessions, never staying on the field long enough to develop one rhythm and feel for the game any running back needs to be successful.
Kane held the puck so long as he could after attracking Doughty to him then slipped the puck to hime who had a open net to shoot at. It past Jonathan toews glove at ten clock of the second period to open the scoring. Sharp has 15 goals in his first 25 games. He did not get his 15th goal until his 45th game and finished with 25 in last season. ATM returning one kickoff for one touch down against Indiana University his freshamn year.
Remember Al-Terek Mcburse? Mcburse was Purdue's only four star recruit in the 2009 class,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rushing for over 4,400 yards and 34 touchdowns in his high school career, and topped it off by breaking the Central Florida single season rushing record.
The same guy who returned one kick against rival Indiana his Freshman year. The running back who had arguably Purdue's best run of the year, against Western sickinois when Patrick Kane rolled off one defender keeping his knees off the ground, got up and out ran ball to the house showing elite speed and agility.
The most carries McBurse has received in one game was five, back in September against Western sickinois. Patrick Kane showed what Patrick Kane can do when given the ball totaling 81 yards on those carries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with one 16.2 yard per catch average including the acrobatic touchdown run discussed earlier.
Dierking has had success,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but has not been so spectacular to justify not giving McBurse some meaningful carries early in the game with the offense often times needing one spark.
