Welcome, Brandon Kirsch, to the show that never ends. Record setting QB Kyle Orton is Purdue history. For those believing the (coach) Tiller one-back offensive set will attempt to run over opponents with a Jerod Void ground game as opposed to 50+ aerial attempts, we have a plot of oceanfront property in Indiana to sell you. Kirsch saw duty late this season when Orton went down. His grades weren't stellar by any means, but he did manage to equal Orton's 62% completion rate. The receivers are still readily available, despite Big Ten record-setter Taylor Stubblefield's absence. Big Ten, meet Kyle Ingraham. Hey wait, most of this talk should revolve to the other side of the ball, where every single starter returns from a bunch that still managed to finish at the top half of the Big Ten pack in most all defensive categories despite the many new faces. Between DEs Spencer, Edwards and Ninkovich, the trio surmounted a whopping 22.5 sacks. The Boilermakers are next in line for Big Ten rights behind Michigan, Ohio State and Iowa. This team should improve on its current .500 conference record.
