GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 1 • 10 1 Is Purdue's added experience collectively, both in playing ex- perience and experience with its coaching staff, immediately evident? More so on offense, where the playbook seems to have been better tailored to personnel and where more of last year's youngsters have ascended up the ranks. 2 How much has Danny Etling improved, physically, mentally and emotionally, as a quarterback? Purdue's success this sea- son, or lack thereof, might be closely connected to the answer. 3 Can Purdue be the physical aggressor? It's easy to assume the Big Ten team should be, but assumptions are dangerous. Physicality matters this season for the Boilermakers, all over the field. 4 How does the back half of Purdue's defense perform out of the gate? The secondary is down a couple experienced guys and the linebackers are pretty green. 5 Is Western Michigan ready to not just win, but compete, in a Big Ten stadium? It's going to be playing so many freshmen and young players in general. — Brian Neubert Stats are from 2013. Ranking out of 123 FBS schools 1 Akeem Hunt . . . .
