David Blough ready to show star potential for Purdue

The Purdue Boilermakers are entering Week 4 of the college football season with a 1-2 record. They fell at home to Virginia Tech last Saturday by a final score of 51-24, which forced head coach Darrell Hazell to make a change at the quarterback position. Freshman David Blough will take over for Austin Appleby and there is a lot of excitement surrounding him heading into his first career college start.

Blough has received comparisons to former Boilermakers superstar quarterback Drew Brees, which would help reignite the Purdue football program.

Hazell discussed the decision to make the switch from Appleby to Blough.
