Behind Enemy Lines: Purdue Boilermakers

First of all, I personally want to extend my thoughts and prayers to Tyler Trent, staffer at Hammer and Rails. Tyler is battling cancer and has not been given a good prognosis. From myself and the entire site, we wish nothing but the best for Tyler and our friends over at Hammer and Rails during this difficult time.

And now on to the less important stuff.

Sitting at 2-3, Purdue has seen a slight regression over the debut season of former Illini staffer Jeff Brohm. With a surprising upset of Boston College and a head scratching loss to Eastern Michigan, it is hard to discern what kind of team they have in West Lafayette.
