By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — One might think there was little for Purdue to gain in a non-conference game against a severely overmatched opponent. Think again. Matt Painter was at his best on Sunday, turning an 83-54 win over Hofstra into a message-sending exercise. D.J. Byrd and Anthony Johnson did not start — […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Correspondent WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue fans, don’t worry yet. The Boilermakers’ 70-65 season-opening loss to Bucknell on Friday night was a product of a lot of odd circumstances coming together at the wrong time.

By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor Just like in the Wisconsin game, Purdue came out of the gate strong and scored early against Penn State. And just like in the Wisconsin game, the Boilermakers did little more until the game was out of reach. The Boilermakers were overwhelmed in a 34-9 loss to the Nittany Lions that […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor Purdue (3-5, 0-4 Big Ten) is in danger of having its bowl hopes put on life support heading into Saturday’s home game against Penn State. The Boilermakers need to win three of their final four games to become bowl eligible, and if the Boilers lose this one, they will then hit the road for games […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor I asked Robert Marve about how he has dealt with the fact that Purdue coach Danny Hope has spent the better part of the past few years trying to rein him in. His response? “On or off the field?” That honest response tells a lot about Purdue’s new starting quarterback. In […]
The following is the text of a statement from Purdue athletic director Morgan Burke on the state of the Purdue football program.
