WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Purdue has benched junior quarterback Austin Appleby in favor of redshirt freshman David Blough.
It is the third time in Darrell Hazell's three seasons at Purdue that the Boilermakers have changed starting quarterbacks in September or October. He made the announcement Tuesday.
Appleby started the first three games of the season along with the final seven games in 2014. He had an awful performance in Saturdays' 51-24 loss to Virginia Tech, completing only 9 of 28 passes for 110 yards and two interceptions, along with a fumble that was returned for a touchdown.
