* DEPTH CHARTS were only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players that departed and players that
received the most playing experience (consistent starters).
NationalChamps.net recognizes the importance of missing
personnel data not listed such as redshirts, transfers,
injuries, incoming recruits, back ups, and alternates.
Their coverage will begin with our full 2004 Preseason
Preview due out this coming spring. |

QUICK
ANALYSIS
|
If
offense wins championships, Joe Tiller's group
is sure to be at the top come next fall. Kyle
Orton returns for his senior signal-calling campaign.
Once again, he has a fairly decent staple of receivers
at his side, led by the remarkable Taylor Stubblefield.
He will also have an experienced OL - four out
of five starters return. Purdue was also able
to find a semblance of a running attack with young
Jerod Void carrying the pigskin out of the usual
one-back set, and that bodes well for balance
next season. What will hold the Boilermakers back
is their major loss of defensive personnel. Purdue's
front-seven in 2003 was as good as any in the
Big Ten. They must now deal with the fact that
most every key player will depart. It just may
be possible to see Purdue go back to the days
of winning games 45-41 once again.
