In two of the four season that Darrell Hazell was in West Lafayette Purdue was 3-2 after five games. No, really! Look it up! I will wait. It happened in 2014 and 2016. Of course, in both of those seasons Purdue closed the year with seven straight losses, but this year things are different. In both of those years Purdue had a light early schedule and dropped gamers it probably should have won. This year Purdue’s schedule was a bit front-loaded, at least on paper. Louisville and Michigan were preseason top 15 teams. Ohio was a division champ. Minnesota won 9 games.
