Notes

• Ryan Browne moves up to the “or” level with Hudson Card. I wouldn’t be surprised to see both against Oregon.
• Purdue starts the same starting offensive line for the 5th straight game. Corey Stewart is the only starting offensive lineman to miss a game (Indiana State).
• Tight End Drew Biber started against Illinois instead of Morrissette with Purdue using more 21 personnel.

No Changes

Overall

What a weird season. Purdue hasn’t had much break their way, but after a spate of late camp injuries, the Boilermakers have remained fairly healthy this season, especially on the offensive line. The Illinois game was a battle, but it appears Purdue came out relatively unscathed.

The big question, of course, is Ryan Browne, who now moves up to the “or” line with injured starter Hudson Card. Purdue may need both quarterbacks moving forward if they want to continue the heavy quarterback run game we saw against Illinois.

On defense, the group that couldn’t contain Luke Altmyer gets a shot at Dillon Gabriel, fresh off of one of the best games of his career against Ohio State….GULP.
