[LC AAU]

Nice and congrats on the Rose bowl win

LOL @ oregon being in the rose bowl at 8-4, nice win.

They won the Pac 10 conference game, and thank you.

 

[packersfan4eva]

They won the Pac 10 conference game, and thank you.

i realize that, but either the Pac-10 was really bad this year and every team lost 3 or 4 games within the conference, or they lost every game outside of conference play

They did not have a good year as a conference, same with the Big Ten, SEC, and Big 12.

 

[LC AAU]

I'm losing 8 starters on defense, my starting QB,RB,WR core, TE, and 3 starting offensive linemen

.

 

[LC AAU]

grats on winning that nailbiter against the beavers!

looks like youre losing some firepower on offense with taylor gone...tough shoes to fill based on his season

I'm losing a lot of firepower in all aspects on offense. But with the RB's I have now, I don't see why I can't continue what I did last season on the ground, not including the RB I may get during recruiting.

Also, sign up for my CAP recruits.

Breaking Down Purdue's Offense in 2010


QB
[table="head;sort=d;autonumtitle=rank;width=25em"]Name|Overall|Year
Caleb TerBush|85|SO (RS)
Chris Bennett|82|SR (RS)
Rob Henry|79|FR (RS)
Brandon Craft :redshirt:|77|FR
Najee Tyler|75|FR (RS)
Brandon Morris|72|FR
Greg Sims|72|FR
[/table]

Well, you can say that Purdue has more then just depth at the QB position. But of course, there is one player that stands out the most. Caleb TerBush took a redshirt his freshmen season, then was under Joey Elliot's wing last season. He is more then ready to start as a Sophomore. He has a great arm, and his short passing game is even better. He also is a tad faster then Joey Elliot was, so that is a plus at the QB position.

RB/FB
[table="head;sort=d;autonumtitle=rank;width=25em"]Name|Overall|Year
Ralph Bolden|88|JR
Malcom Harris|87|SR
Dan Dierking|86|JR (RS)
Al Terek McBurse|82|FR (RS)
Jon Bishop|70|SO
Franklin Halliburton|71|SO (RS) (FB)
[/table]

Last season, the Purdue running game had a tremendous season on the ground. Can this running back group improve from last season? They certainly have the players to do it. They have outstanding depth as shown above, lead by speedster Ralph Bolden and juke master Malcom Harris. Look for a similar season on the ground from the Boilers.

WR
[table="head;sort=d;autonumtitle=rank;width=25em"]Name|Overall|Year
Keith Smith|90|SR
Joe Holland|86|JR (RS)
Waynelle Gravesane|84|SR
Eric Williams|81|FR (RS)
Derrick Sherman|81|SR
Andy James|80|FR
Wesley Harper :redshirt:|77|FR
Arsenio Curry|74|SO (RS)[/table]

An experienced wide receiver group should help young Caleb TerBush out a lot. Keith Smith returns as a starting WR, and Joe Holland is for sure capable for a starting job. It looks as if Andy James and Eric Williams will be the 3rd and 4th WR's on the Depth Chart this season as well.

TE
[table="head;sort=d;autonumtitle=rank;width=25em"]Name|Overall|Year
Gabe Holmes|80|SO
Edward Johnson|76|FR
Jeff Panfil|70|JR (RS)[/table]

Gabe Holmes played very well last season as the second string TE. Expect tons more from him this season starting. He has amazing speed for a TE, to go along with his blocking ability. He is going to be a special player playing on Sundays some day.

Tackles
[table="head;sort=d;autonumtitle=rank;width=25em"]Name|Overall|Year
Dennis Kelly|93|JR (RS)
Peters Drey|85|SO (RS)
James Shepherd|85|JR (RS)
Justin Kitchens|82|SO[/table]

Purdue's tackles are very young, and very talented. With Dennis Kelly and Peters Drey starting this season, I can see both making All Big Ten. Might as well put Kelly as an All American now.

Guards
[table="head;sort=d;autonumtitle=rank;width=25em"]Name|Overall|Year
Ryan Prater|85|SR (RS)
Bryan Bailey|79|FR
James Marks|73|FR[/table]

Guards may be Purdue's biggest weakness this season. They have a true freshmen starting at RG, and Senior at LG, but they have a very raw backup true freshmen as well, but that's it. Depth may hurt this team on the OL.

Centers
[table="head;sort=d;autonumtitle=rank;width=25em"]Name|Overall|Year
Austen Moret|89|JR (RS)
Andrew Brewer|81|SO (RS)
Jabari Lott :redshirt:|65|FR[/table]

Austen Moret improved vastly this off season. He should have the starting job for the next two seasons. You can maybe put him as a preseason All American, we'll just have to see. We will be looking at the Defense and Special Teams a little bit later, stay tuned.

Damn you gotta pretty tough schedule this year. But with that receiving corps you got yourself an offense

Yeah, Big Ten teams got a lot tougher this year. I do have a pretty good receiving corps, too bad I'm highly considering running a Flexbone with an option run play book :2thumbs:

didn't know you had this, following.

Well now you know .
