The Purdue defense certainly had its flaws this season, but there was improvement throughout the year that gave all of us a glimmer of hope as to what is possible under Ryan Walters and his defensive mind. The Big Ten conference also found some bright spots on this Purdue team when the defensive and special team all-conference honorees were announced yesterday.
Unfortunately, no Boilermakers made it on the first team defense. While that’s not a total surprise given the season that Purdue had I think that one could make an argument for both of Purdue’s honorees to have made the first team.
