Purdue Head Coach Danny Hope from Here in Chicago

6 offensive and 6 defensive starters returning
Leaders are emerging
Excited about opening with ND- it has aided in the development of the football team because of the anticipation
Ryan Kerrigan is is a leader who's play speaks for itself. We expect Ryan to continue leading this team as we progress.
Ball Security is the biggest focus for the team this off season, along with tackling on the defensive side of the ball.
(Quarterback) has great arm strength, decision making and the fact that he runs a 4.5 or 4.6, and from that stand point is a great asset to the offense.
Ralph Bolden will have to wait and see how things go with the recovery. There is a possibility we can get him back this year, but that's not a certainty. (Altreat Reverse?) has all the tools as well- good runner, over 200 lbs, and catches the ball very well out of the backfield. Bolden does have a redshirt year to use, should the team choose to.
Justin Siller is back on the team. 6â€™4â€ 220 and listed as a WR, but he could play at any skill position on the offensive side of the ball.
How did the OSU game help in recruiting?
Big wins against U of M and Ohio State helped. Itâ€™s an indication of where the Program is going.Â
