Since 2005 starter list was 9,8,8,9,11,12,8,6,9,13,10,7,9 and 8 last year. This year about 8 but 5 of them are OL. You get the picture.
Since this team was "centered" around young black skill players like WR Rondale Moore I instinctively was turned off. The media wouldn't shut up about him. I imagine they will force feed him the ball at all costs this season. For all the hype Purdue had a losing record (6-7) last year. Auburn crushed them like a bug in their bowl game. A mainly black flash team that lacked some substance.
I feel the same way this season. Just can't get excited about this bunch which has a fairly standard caste layout. The key will be if some of the white depth rises to the top. They do have some potential young white studs but on the surface this team lacks white skill players which is nothing new in college football but I expect better from a team like Purdue.
The two deep includes OL Eric Miller, Sam Garvin and Will Bramel. RB Zander Horvath looks to play but is seen by most as a FB. TE Payton Durham. WR Jackson Anthrop is now a junior but only caught 8 passes last year. Look for him to become more involved. DE Jack Sullivan. QB Jack Plummer. S Brennan Thieneman.
One to watch is redshirt freshman WR Kory Taylor. He is an angular 6'5" speedster with a lot of talent.
Offense:
QB-Elijah Sindelar
OC-Viktor Beach
OG-Alex Criddle
OG-Jimmy McKenna
OT-Matt McCann
OT-Grant Hermanns
Defense:
DE-George Karlaftis- (a true freshman)
LB-Ben Holt
