WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Following a 35-31 lo s to Penn State on Thursday night in its season opener, Purdue football is Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Jersey preparing for its second straight home matchup to start the year. The team will take on Indiana State on Saturday looking for its first win after falling to 0-1.Purdue coach Jeff Brohm met with the media Monday to give his final thoughts on the lo s to the Nittany Lions and discu s the team's preparation heading into the upcoming week of practice.Here's everything he had to say:Opening statementJEFF BROHM: Looking forward for our next home game. There's a lot of things we need to work on that you learn from your first game, especially when it doesn't go the way you want and you lose the football game. That's what the majority of our time has been spent on the last three days is making sure that we get a lot of mistakes corrected, get better at the small things and really work on our fundamentals and techniques of everything we have doing and evaluate all the decisions we've made and what we could have done to get better and that's the key is coming out and getting better.We're going to play an Indiana State team coming off a victory at home that we have to start to do all the small things correctly. Play as hard as we can on every play and try to come out with a victory.On evaluating mistakes from the lo s against Penn State...JEFF BROHM: Well, that's Brooklyn Nets Jeresy what we've done. You know, any time -- we had a really good year last year as far as not having a lot of penalties, winning the turnover battle. We had some really just silly penalties that cost us. It wasn't anything outlandish but you know, two illegal alignments on offense, just receivers not getting lined up on the ball, which were silly. They can't happen.You know, the chop block, was costly, where really our basketball made a good block. There was a twist happen and our O-line man happened to just touch the other guy so we are just going to have to eliminate running backs cutting at all because it kind of just fell into it and it was a costly penalty.And then I think we had a delay game. And really other than that, we had a lot of penalties on defense which can't happen. Way too many penalties on defense, way too many holding calls in the secondary got called on us in key, key situations.So we've got to clean up the ability to play physical but yet use our hands properly and make sure that we're obeying the rules.So those were some costly penalties. We had silly offsides from a secondary player that I know he wasn't trying to do that, but he was offsides. It was costly. So really just some costly penalties that when you play a good football team, you can't have happen. So we've just got to concentrate, identify what those penalties are, which I think we have, and try to get those fixed.On senior wide receiver Broc Thompson's injury status...JEFF BROHM: Well, Broc was nicked up, and we'll keep evaluating him this week. Hopeful that he'll be ready to play but we'll know later in the week.On wide receivers who can emerge next to Charlie Spencer Dinwiddie Jersey Jones...JEFF BROHM: Well, I think it's still a work-in-progre s. A lot of our receivers have been banged up in the off-season up until now. You'd like to, you know, get a few guys to step up and be that second guy.For the most part, Charlie really played well, that was a really good game for him. We have to try to find ways to get Tyrone Tracy the ball a little bit more in many different ways. So that's something we could have done better.Mershawn Rice, who had not practiced a whole lot, was able to do a couple good things. We have to try to get as much out of him as we can and he's got to continue to get better.You know, T.J. Sheffield did some good things and then a couple things we'd obviously like to get better and then there's some other receivers right there on the cusp that got a little bit of action that maybe just didn't get the ball. So we have to be able to spread the ball around to more guys and utilize those on offense.On Charlie Jones' workload moving ahead this season...JEFF BROHM: Well, I think we always want to spread the ball around as much as we can. At the same time if a receiver is hot and there's a section, we are not going to take that way and there were quite a few plays made between Aidan and Charlie.But yeah, we'd like to have a little more balance acro s the board in a perfect world. But David Bell had a lot of targets in certain games, as well. So you know, continuing to work on our quarterback having confidence in the entire receiving core is important. You know, making sure that we continue to improve upon that.On drilling mi sed tackles in practice while preventing injury...JEFF BROHM: Well, we have looked and analyzed everything on defense and there were some key moments where the tackling could have been better. I don't think it was a problem throughout the entire game on a lot of plays but interest were key plays, about five, that we could have tackled way better and we've addre sed that.We've worked on it even this weekend. We'll Julius Erving Jersey continue to work on it; the ability for everybody to tackle the proper way. We've had multiple drills on it using our arms. I thought we tried to shoulder tackle. I thought we didn't finish as much as we can to make sure someone got to the ground.And really, you know, defensively, the two-minute drive at the end of the half was costly when they only had about 25 seconds on the minus 18-yard line. That can't happen.There was a scramble play on a busted coverage where the receiver turned up the field, got behind us, and then we were not able to attack them to the ground. That can't happen. Just can't happen at this level of football against good opponents.And really did some decent things better in the second half, and once again, they gave up some easy completions. We mi sed a tackle. You know, we didn't guard the running back running out of the backfield on a blitz. Just lots of small things can't happen on a two-minute drive. It's disappointing because they had some good moments on defense, but there were some key plays that were not good. So we've got to get that fixed.On the use of multiple offensive linemen...JEFF BROHM: Well, like always, there's always plenty of improvement to make on offense and making sure that we're gaining yards and scoring touchdowns. You know, losing Miller was a concern and we've just got to continue to Brooklyn Nets T-Shirts improve the other tight ends. But in the meantime, putting a bigger blocker in at tight end in situations was beneficial and we've got to continue to utilize that.Short yardage -- there's a couple things we got better at: Red zone scoring, short yardage situations. So that was good to see. We just weren't able to finish the game on offen
