five points to ponder 1 2 Purdue's pass protection took a step forward against Iowa. If that trajectory continues, will Danny Etling show more of the flashes, however brief they may have been, he did against the Hawkeyes? Can Purdue avoid turnovers? This past weekend marked the rare occasion it didn't give the ball way in the passing game. The Boilermakers turned the ball over only once, however damaging Raheem Mostert's fumble may have been. What tricks or wrinkles does Purdue try in hopes of getting its moribund running game going? Can Penn State cash in on red-zone trips? That's been one of the Nittany Lions' fatal flaws during the Big Ten season, their inability to finish drives. Can the Boilermakers generate any pass rush? The easy answer to stop receiver Allen Robinson is to make freshman QB Christian Hackenberg uncomfortable. — Brian Neubert 3 4 Penn state's 2013 schedule DateOpponent 8/31 SYRACUSE 9/7 EASTERN MICHIGAN 9/14 CENTRAL FLORIDA 9/21 KENT STATE 10/5 @ Indiana 10/12 MICHIGAN 10/26 @ Ohio State 11/2 ILLINOIS 11/9 @ Minnesota 11/16PURDUE 11/23NEBRASKA 11/30 @ Wisconsin Result W, 23-17 W, 45-7 L, 31-34 W, 34-0 L, 24-44 W, 43-40 (4OT) L, 14-63 W, 24-17 (OT) L, 10-24 purdue boilermakers ROSTER Normondo Harris .
