WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Austin Appleby hopes to give Purdue stability at quarterback.

Appleby, a junior who started the Boilermakers' final seven games last season, hopes to become the first Purdue quarterback to lead the team in passing for two consecutive seasons since Curtis Painter - who has played in the NFL with Indianapolis, Baltimore and the New York Giants - in 2007 and 2008.

Appleby and the quarterback position was the focus of conversation Sunday at Purdue's Media Day.
