Wide Receiver
1. Cameron Posey 18
6-1, 182, So.
6 rec., 50 yards*
Posey made one of the game's
best receptions on one of the
game's best throws. It wasn't
much, the play went for just
seven yards, but it converted a fourth down
and was between two defenders.
2. Danny Anthrop 33
6-0, 191, Jr.
Quarterback
1. Danny Etling 5
6-2, 218, So.
63-of-110 for 541 yards,
4 TDs / 4 int.*
17 rushes, 36 yards, 2 TDs*
Etling was excellent in the
first half before cooling in the
second. But make no mistake: This was a big-
time improvement. Now, he'll have to build
from here. The sophomore hit on a couple of
his intermediate attempts, a good sign. Still,
he missed a couple of the short ones, which
might have made a big difference.
2. Austin Appleby 12
6-5, 229, So.
Running Back
1. Raheem Mostert 8
5-11, 190, Sr.
55 rushes, 246 yards, 1 TD*
9 rec., 60 yards*
Mostert hasn't had the pro-
duction he – or Purdue – has
wanted the last couple games,
mainly missing on big-play opportunities. A
couple times against the Irish he seemed to be
a block away from breaking into the second
level. The same could be said for Hunt. He
needs to hold on to the ball, too.
2. Akeem Hunt 1
5-9, 183, Sr.
Center
1. Robert Kugler 57
6-3, 298, Jr.
Purdue had good protection,
for the most part, against
the Fighting Irish, a credit to
Kugler's ability to get blockers
in the right spots. Barron, who
hasn't played this season, is likely to redshirt;
Cermin would get snaps at center, if needed.
2. Cameron Cermin 66
6-5, 303, So.
Right Guard
1. Jordan Roos 70
6-4, 312, So.
Roos had to fight for his start-
ing job in the spring and in
training camp, but now that
he has it has been playing well.
Clements is playing only on
Purdue's field goal team.
2. Corey Clements 71
6-8, 400, Jr.
Right Tackle
1. J.J. Prince 73
6-6, 302, So.
After struggling late in
Purdue's loss to Central
Michigan, Prince had a come-
back game vs. the Fighting
Irish. The Boilermakers allowed
three sacks, but only one could be considered
a result of poor blocking up front. Prince
should get some breaks now, with Cermin
available to play some on the right side.
2. Jason Tretter 76
6-6, 304, R-Fr.
Wide Receiver
1. Danny Anthrop 33
6-0, 191, Jr.
7 rec., 98 yards, 1 TD*
Anthrop had four catches for
61 yards, including a big catch-
and-run in the first quarter that
set up Purdue's first touchdown.
On the play, he lined up near the line, hiding
behind Holmes. It was well-designed. He did
have a drop, however, one that potentially
could have gone for big yardage.
2. B.J. Knauf 83
5-10, 187, So.
Wide Receiver
1. DeAngelo Yancey 7
6-2, 218, So.
3 rec., 57 yards, 1 TD*
Yancey was targeted six times
against Notre Dame, but unlike
previous weeks, he came up
with a couple of big receptions.
His first was NFL-quality, when
he went up in the back of the end zone, hauled
in a pass and tapped his toe inbounds. The
second, on an excellent throw by Danny Etling,
came after he got open down the left sideline.
2. Gregory Phillips 13
6-0, 190, Fr.
Tight End
1. Gabe Holmes 86
6-5, 258, Sr.
6 rec., 44 yards, 1 TD*
Holmes made a couple nice
catches, on one going down to
the turf to pick the ball up. But
again, he had a couple drops
too, including one that halted
a drive on fourth down. Sinz has been excel-
lent, catching everything near him.
2. Justin Sinz 84
6-4, 249, Sr. (5)
Left Tackle
1. Cameron Cermin 66
6-5, 303, So.
Cermin has played well
enough through the first three
weeks to earn him another
start, but Hedelin becomes
available after serving a three-
game NCAA suspension. Both
will play. When Hedelin is in, look for the pos-
sibility of Cermin spelling at center or right
tackle.
2. David Hedelin 75
6-4, 295, Jr.
Left Guard
1. Jason King 72
6-3, 309, So.
King has played pretty well for
most of the season, yet he had
a couple errors vs. ND. His false
start cost the Boilermakers five
yards near the goal line, but
they scored regardless on the
next play. But on a fourth-and-1 in the second
quarter, he missed a block that contributed to
a failed conversion.
