Cornerback
1. Anthony Brown 9
5-11, 192, Jr.
49 tackles, 5.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks,
9 PBU*
Brown's biggest play – or big-
gest misplay – came on special
teams, when he failed to wrap
up Tony Jones on the Wildcat's 64-yard punt
return for a touchdown. Brown had Jones
stopped, only to see him wrestle free.
2. Antoine Lewis 23
5-10, 185, Sr. (5)
Strong Safety
1. Landon Feichter 44
6-0, 192, Sr. (5)
96 tackles, 1 TFL, 5 int., 3 PBU,
1 FR, 1 FF*
Feichter didn't have the game-
changing plays of the last
couple weeks, but still turned
in a solid effort, with a team-high nine tackles
and a pass breakup.
2. Robert Gregory 7
6-1, 216, So.
Free Safety
1. Taylor Richards 4
5-10, 196, Sr.
45 tackles, 1 TFL, 4 PBU*
Richards looked a bit out
of sorts at times as he
approached the line to take
on the run, either being in the
wrong gap or having himself blocked too far
away from the play. Still, he came up with
seven tackles and broke up a pass.
2. Robert Gregory 7
6-1, 216, So.
Cornerback
1. Frankie Williams 24
5-9, 189, Jr.
66 tackles, 1.5 TFL, 1 sack, 3 int.,
7 PBU, 1 FR*
Williams was back at corner-
back for Northwestern, and
he'll start there for the Hoosiers,
also. But look for Purdue to go to more five DB
packages at times, and if it does, that means
Clark gets on the field.
2. Leroy Clark 3
5-10, 187, So.
Rush End
1. Jalani Phillips 89
6-4, 265, Sr.
31 tackles, 5.5 TFL, 1 sack,
1 PBU, 1 FR*
Phillips had one of his more
active games of the second half
of the season, with four tackles,
including a couple for loss. One
of Phillips' TFLs came on the first play of a
drive that NU was eventually forced to punt.
2. Gelen Robinson 13
6-1, 239, Fr.
Strongside Linebacker
1. Jimmy Herman 29
6-4, 230, So.
48 tackles, 1.5 TFL, 3 PBU*
With Purdue playing its base
defense for the entire game,
Herman was forced into cover-
age more often than had been
the usual. He had moments of
success and those that were challenges, too.
The latter includes the Wildcats' fourth-and-14
conversion near the red zone in the first half.
2. Dezwan Polk-Campbell 6
6-3, 212, R-Fr.
Middle Linebacker
1. Ja'Whaun Bentley
35
6-2, 250, Fr.
65 tackles, 3.5 TFL, 1 int., 1 PBU,
3 FR*
Bentley was there when
Danny Ezechukwu forced a
fumble, picking it up to give
the defense one of its two turnovers. He also
chipped in with three tackles, two of them
right at the line of scrimmage.
2. Garrett Hudson 16
6-3, 230, R-Fr.
Weakside Linebacker
1. Danny Ezechukwu
36
6-2, 246, R-Fr.
40 tackles, 3.0 TFL, 1.5 sacks,
1 int., 2 FF*
Ezechukwu had the best game
of his young career, with seven
tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and an inter-
ception. He ended NU's first two non-scoring
drives with a pick and a pass breakup. Then,
had a sack later in the first half. He also ended
a drive by forcing a fumble.
2. Andy James Garcia 42
6-0, 217, So.
Defensive End
1. Ryan Russell 99
6-5, 273, Sr.
38 tackles, 4 TFL, 2 sacks, 1 PBU*
Russell likely has played better than his statistics
indicate this season, and that was certainly the
case on Saturday. He had four tackles, mostly
chasing down running backs. He influenced
other plays with his pursuit, as well. But he also picked up a
facemask penalty.
2. Evan Panfil 95
6-4, 251, So.
Nose Tackle
1. Ra'Zahn Howard 14
6-3, 323, So.
19 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack, 1 PBU*
Howard's missed some practice time this sea-
son due to a lingering back injury, but that's
not kept him from missing Saturdays (the
Wisconsin game, due to a foot sprain, aside).
And vs. Northwestern, he played a season-high 70 (unofficially)
snaps, a good sign for his conditioning.
2. Ryan Watson 92
6-2, 291, Jr.
Defensive Tackle
1. Jake Replogle 54
6-5, 269, So.
34 tackles, 8.5 TFL, 2 sacks, 1 PBU*
Replogle again turned in what appeared to be
a solid effort, with five tackles, including one for
loss. On NU's second-to-last drive, he hit a run-
ning back behind the line of scrimmage.
2. Ryan Watson 92
6-2, 291, Jr.
