WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Maybe a September bye week will help a struggling Purdue defense.The Boilermakers (1-1), who will host to Nevada (2-1) on Saturday, appeared a step slow in surrendering 512 yards and five touchdowns to Cincinnati in their last game, a 38-30 loss on Sept. 10.Purdue ranks last in Big Ten scoring defense (31 points per game), last in total defense (455 yards) and last in rushing defense (219 yards).On Tuesday, fourth-year Purdue coach Darrell Hazell disagreed with the theory that the Boilermakers defensive team speed was to blame for the loss.I didnt sense that at all, Hazell said, We were in position to make four or five critical plays in that (Cincinnati) game, and we didnt make the plays. But I didnt sense that their speed was any better than ours.Instead, Hazells theory centers on Purdue adjusting to a new defensive scheme that may be causing some defenders to hesitate at the point of attack rather than simply reacting and tackling.The message this week is no hesitation, Hazell said. Weve got to eliminate hesitation. The other part is just being able to make those plays that have nothing to do with hesitation, like being in position to make those plays.Purdue junior linebacker JaWhan Bentley, who ranks fourth in the Big Ten with 8.5 tackles per game, noticed the hesitation element in the Cincinnati game. He said that must be corrected before facing a Nevada team that averages 208.3 rushing yards.We struggled tackling, definitely, early on in the Cincinnati game, Bentley said. And there were a few deep balls that we didnt see. Like coach says, its about tackling and making plays on the ball, along with recognizing that its third down and we have to get off the field.Purdues defense should receive a boost this week when two starters -- end Austin Larkin and cornerback DaWan Hunte -- return to the lineup after missing the seasons first two games because of ankle injuries.Game notes Linebacker Jimmy Herman remains questionable with a hamstring injury. ... Purdue starting running back Markell Jones, who missed most of the second half against Cincinnati with a shoulder injury, used the bye week to rehab and is expected to start against Nevada.

CHAPECO, Brazil -- Relatives of victims who died in an air crash that killed most members of the Brazilian soccer club Chapecoense spoke out in anger Thursday, with several saying the crash was avoidable.Only six of the 77 passengers and crew survived, three of them players. Nineteen other players died in the crash late Monday, a few kilometers (miles) from the airport in Medellin, Colombia.Recordings of conversations with the pilot and accounts of a surviving flight attendant, along with the lack of an explosion upon impact, indicated the BAE 146 Avro RJ85 jet ran out of fuel.Osmar Machado, the father of defender Filipe, questioned why that plane was used. His son died on his fathers 66th birthday.Profit brings greed, Machado said. Because of 30 kilometers this plane ended (the lives of) 71 people. But what can we do now? The owner of the plane died.Experts have said the plane that took off from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, was at its maximum flight range when it crashed into a muddy mountainside.The team was heading to play in the first of two matches in the final of the Copa Sudamerica, South Americas No. 2 club tournament.Williams Brasiliano, uncle of Chapecoense midfielder Arthur Maia, said the crash could have been avoided if Chapecoense had chosen a regular airline to travel to Colombia instead of a charter.Look how complicated that flight was going to be even if it had arrived, Brasiliano said, tears in his eyes. Even if they had arrived, it is clear that they would be tired from the trip to play a final. This cant be right. I doubt that a bigger club would have done the same.Chapecoense spokesman Andrei Copetti said more than 30 clubs had used the LaMia company that operated the crashed jet, including Argentina and Bolivia.LaMia also took us to Barranquilla (Colombia) to play against Junior, Copetti said. They had a good service then. It was the airline that got in touch with us because they have experience in doing these long flights in South America. We chose this company for technical reasons. All these rumors have too be discarded.dddddddddddd.He said the governing body of South American football, known as CONMEBOL, was not involved in choosing LaMia. He said also said the city had no role.Soccer legend Pele expressed concern for the families in his first comments about the crash.We have to ask God to give strength to their families for this sadness to go as quickly as possible, Pele told ESPN Brasil. We have to pray, send positive energies to the families. Support those that are still here, in whichever way possible.The team announced that a funeral will be held for several players, staff and local journalists at Arena Conda stadium Saturday. It was not clear whether all the victims would be present at a service expected to draw 100,000 people to the 22,000-seat arena.Chapecoense acting president Ivan Tozzo said Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and FIFA President Gianni Infantino were to be at the funeral.Brazilian President Michel Temer will be present only at the arrival of the bodies at Chapecos airport. Temer has avoided public meetings since he was booed at both the Olympics and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this year after he took office following the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff.Also on Thursday, the president of Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro said his team would not play its final-round match of the Brazilian league season against Chapecoense.Chapecoenses acting president said earlier in the week that the head of the Brazilian Football Confederation, Marco Polo Del Nero, had ordered Chapecoense to play its final match using a team made up mostly of junior players.We believe in sport, Atletico Mineiro president Daniel Nepomuceno said. We respect the pain. Its not the moment to demand that players play this match.Nepomuceno said that he had talked with Del Nero and that the CBF head had changed his mind.Del Nero was widely criticized on social media for his earlier statements.
