ON THE COVER
Rob Henry was named the
starting quarterback on Aug.
18, and there is little doubt that
his leadership skill and experience had much to do with
getting the nod. No Purdue
quarterback in school history
has gone 1,000 days between
starts as Henry will do, and
how well the fifth-year senior
performs will have much to do
with how far the Boilermakers
go in 2013.

You get the feeling that Darrell Hazell
knows exactly where he is going?
If you don't, you probably should.
The look on this image is one of
no-nonsense, steady, sure direction.
That appears to be Hazell, and I have a
sense some of this quiet confidence is
rubbing off on his first Purdue football
team.
He has command of the room … I
mean, the football field. The players
feel it, his coaches feel it, even the
fans that have attended practice all
during camp have that sense of his
take-charge style. He doesn't say much
at practice, but when he
does, he can communicate with an expression
as much as with his voice.
He can pierce you with his eyes, by not
saying a word. There is little wasted
motion with this guy.
No, I am not predicting a Tiller-esque
run in Year 1 for Hazell and Co. If wins
are your lone measuring stick, then anywhere north of five would be considered
a highly successful season. But wins
can't be Hazell's lone barometer in Year
1. It goes deeper than that.
It's all about setting the direction of
