GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 12 • 12 1 This one truly comes down to which team wants it more. Both teams are in dire need of putting an end to long losing streaks. Which unsung player will rise? 2 Can the Boilermakers defense put enough pressure on fresh- man quarterback Zander Diamont to cause him to make mistakes? Is this the game that Ryan Russell gets multiple sacks? He may get his chance. 3 What will deliver the Boilermaker offense from its doldrums? Maybe it is the Hoosier defense, which statistically is the worst in the Big Ten in many categories. 4 A question we have been asking for weeks now, but who is going to step up at receiver for Purdue? The Hoosier second- ary tends to gamble a lot, but who on the Boilermakers can make it pay? 5 If this game comes down to kicking, both Paul Griggs and Indiana's Griffin Oakes have shown they can hit from over 50 yards. Will it be Griggs' accuracy or Oakes distance that wins out in the end? — Alan Karpick Stats are from 2014. Ranking out of 125 FBS schools 1 Akeem Hunt . . . . . .
