The Hawkeyes ran for 263 yards while UW finished at negative-three, Washington had no real counter once the game started tilting, and several problems we've spent weeks calling concerns are becoming trends. The one genuine source of optimism was Elijah Brown giving the offense rhythm in the second half. Now the conversation is bigger: how much of where Washington sits at 3-3 is on execution, injuries and development — and how much belongs to Jedd Fisch? Purdue is no longer just another game on the schedule. It's the first immediate test of whether this team and staff can actually respond.
