Purdue "O" an "A+"


Not only are the guys here at Boiled Sports high on the Boilermaker offense, so is College Football News. They also give Purdue the nod as being the best group of receivers in the nation...We'd tend to agree with the assessment.

That said, I'm still looking for Curt Painter to really make big strides in order for all of the hype to become reality. I do like what I'm hearing and seeing out of early camp reports...both from Curtis and other Boilermakers. Painter seems to understand that with the all of the yards the Sophomore-led Boiler offense put up in '06, the press and fans have noticed and expect the QB to do even bigger things this season. He doesn't seem at all opposed to the idea of his offense being called one of the best under Tiller, but says he doesn't want any titles until the unit's earned further praise.

A friendly rivalry has begun as Jaycen Taylor & Cory Sheets get ready to split time at the RB spot. When the upper classmen introduced themselves to the newcomers at the beginning camp earlier this week, Jaycen Taylor introduced himself as "the running back"...Cory Sheets responded by calling himself "Cory Sheets...the STARTING running back". I think both options will prove to be tough to handle behind the sizable offensive line.

On the defensive side of the ball, Dan Bick still is not 100% and may be forced to sit out the coming season due to a neck injury. No clear favorite has been seen in early camp, but a healthy Jason Werner might free up Heygood to move to the middle...We'll know more in the coming weeks.

NFL pre-season is in swing...NCAA camps are underway...Thank God football season is here again!

I did not get so see many games last year, but I'll still stick with the "I'll believe it when I see it" stance. Can they get it in the endzone this year? Well - that is the question every year.

I don't think that's the question this season...I think "can they stop anybody" is the real one.

I'm just waiting to see if Purdue can finally beat a team with a winning record....

Let's just say Hoosier fans are pretty excited for the game this year (yes, I can't believe I actually typed that)

Link still seems dead, MJShimmy. But you guys should indeed look forward to the Bucket game... it is your bowl game, after all. :-)

I don't really disagree with MUCH of what is said there...But, the idea that Purdue would be good simply because tOSU & UM were off the schedule is ridiculous. Purdue is and was what they are and were, regardless of which Big Teams they play and played. The Big Ten's other strong programs, Wisconsin, Penn State & Iowa are all legitimate tests...and even without them, an OK team is still OK and Big Ten competition will tell you that.

IU will be kind of like Purdue was last year in that they won't have tOSU or UM on their schedule and it won't change who they are. The only difference is IU won't have a winning record when it's all said and done.
