Quarterback
1. Austin Appleby 12
6-5, 229, So.
82-of-152 passing, 871 yards,
7 TDs / 6 int.*
36 rushes, 187 yards, 5 TDs*
Appleby's final numbers
against the Huskers didn't
look good, with only 18 completions on 46
attempts. But his receivers didn't help, with
multiple drops and contested balls they
couldn't haul in. For the passing offense to
be better, all need to get in sync.
2. Danny Etling 5
6-2, 218, So.
Wide Receiver
1. Trae Hart
5-10, 157, Fr.
1 rec., 12 yards*
Hart could make his
second start — he
was in for the first play
of the Illinois game
too, but had only two more snaps
that day — with hopes that he can
help replace the big-play productivity
of Anthrop. But he's inexperienced.
2. Myles Norwood 6
6-0, 172, R-Fr.
Center
1. Robert Kugler 57
6-3, 298, Jr.
Credit to Kugler for getting the
Boilermakers in the right pro-
tections, for the most part, in
what is a hostile environment
in Lincoln. Purdue gave up
only two sacks of Appleby.
2. Cameron Cermin 66
6-5, 303, So.
Right Guard
1. Jordan Roos 70
6-4, 312, So.
One of the two sacks of
Appleby came when Maliek
Collins beat Roos one-on-one
in the middle of the line. But
otherwise, Roos seemed to
have a good game. He was
called for a hands-to-the-face penalty late, but
it was a bad call. His hands were on the jersey.
2. Corey Clements 71
6-8, 400, Jr.
Right Tackle
1. J.J. Prince 73
6-6, 302, So.
Prince had an excellent block
on Appleby's 25-yard touch-
down run, when he sealed
the right defensive end off
and opened up a hole. He and
Cermin are continuing to rotate at right tackle.
Cermin missed Tuesday's practice and was lim-
ited Wednesday but is expected to play.
2. Cameron Cermin 66
6-5, 303, So.
Wide Receiver
1. Cameron Posey 18
6-1, 182, So.*
11 rec., 117 yards, 1 TD*
Posey shifted from outside to
inside this week, taking the
place vacated by Anthrop's
injury. Purdue is hoping he'll
have success there, much like he did at the
end of last season. Mikesky might get snaps;
he hasn't this season after starting seven
games last.
2. Shane Mikesky 87
6-4, 215, Jr.
Wide Receiver
1. DeAngelo Yancey 7
6-2, 218, So.
10 rec., 114 yards, 3 TDs*
Yancey was targeted seven
times by Austin Appleby,
yet couldn't come up with a
reception. The Boilermakers
need better, particularly now
that big-play man Danny Anthrop is out. On
the interception Appleby threw into the end
zone, Yancey needed to fight for possession.
2. Gregory Phillips 13
6-0, 190, Fr.
Tight End
1. Gabe Holmes 86
6-5, 258, Sr.
10 rec., 101 yards, 2 TDs*
Holmes suffered a series of
drops against the Cornhuskers
and just has not turned into
the kind of tight end that
many had hoped. And he's
nearly out of time. Sinz is more reliable. Many
are calling for more Dolapo Macarthy now, but
he seems destined for his limited role.
2. Justin Sinz 84
6-4, 249, Sr. (5)
Left Tackle
1. David Hedelin 75
6-4, 295, Jr.
Hedelin had a great day
against Nebraska, largely hold-
ing up — even one-on-one
— against stud defensive end
Randy Gregory. Considering
he'd been better in run block-
ing, it was a good development to see Hedelin
succeed so well in pass protection.
2. Cameron Cermin 66
6-5, 303, So.
Left Guard
1. Jason King 72
6-3, 309, So.
Purdue continues to have suc-
cess running the ball, going
for 124 yards and nearly four
yards per carry against a good
Nebraska front. And a lot of
credit goes to the interior of
Purdue's line, King included.
2. Jason Tretter 76
6-6, 304, R-Fr.

Running Back
1. Akeem Hunt 1
5-9, 183, Sr.
125 rushes, 706 yards, 5 TDs*
36 rec., 198 yards*
Hunt's total rushing yardage, 66 yards,
probably isn't indicative of his effort. The
senior has been running hard, and car-
rying the offensive load for the Boilermakers; he had 28
touches vs. Nebraska, picking up 109 total yards.
