11 completions on 21 attempts for 97 yards and three runs for 11 yards.
That was the line for Drew Brees on September 6, 1997 as a young freshman. He was an 18 year old and came on in relief of Billy Dicken as Purdue struggled to a 36-22 season opening loss at Toledo. At the time it looked like Purdue was on its way to another lost season. When you open the year with a double digit loss to a MAC team, especially when it had been 12 years since you had a winning season, there is little confidence.
