���Maybe we can do something like Ohio State or Notre Dame,��� Allen said of a pair of opponents Purdue nearly beat and ended up finishing undefeated in the regular season. ���This year, we finished on a bad note. But you have to use it as a positive because you never want to come back to this spot again. ���I want (Hazell) to take this as a snapshot and we never come back to this spot again. He keeps it in his head this can happen. When you go against this kind of competition and these kind of players, you want to practice for the worst, and this was the worst right here.��� Allen and Russell are two good places to start rebuilding around. Tackle Bruce Gaston will be a senior, too, and could help anchor the defense. There will be challenges on offense after losing the starting backfield and The following are our thoughts now, as we turn the calendar to 2013. Kyle Charters: ���Getting beat was expected. Getting beat like that wasn���t. Luckily for the program, the outcome didn���t matter in the least. Purdue has already moved on from the Danny Hope Era, firing the fourth-year coach and hiring Darrell Hazell. If anything, the game served to show Hazell exactly the depth of his rebuilding project.��� Stacy Clardie: ���So that was, wow. I figured Purdue would at least compete, stay within the spread minimally, against Oklahoma State TWEET after having so long to prepare and so many seniors playing key roles. OF THE WEEK Obviously, it was nothing close to that. But I���m with Ryan Russell, at least Darrell Hazell got a chance to see the ���truth��� watching that one. ���It���s been Purdue needs work. Time to get started.��� a great Alan Karpick: ���For Purdue fans, New Year���s Day was not the way you wanted to start 2013. Yet, victories by the men���s and women���s season teams over Illinois the next day sure changed the collective moods of the fan base. Coach Matt Painter���s Boilermakers found another gear regardless!! against the Illini, something we have seen often in his tenure, but have seen little of this season.��� Thank you Brian Neubert: ���Hate to be negative here, but if Darrell Hazell saw anything positive to take from the Heart of Dallas Bowl, then he BoilerNation for has the eyesight of a hawk. Under the circumstances, the outcome may not have been all that surprising, but it was revealing. Purdue everything!��� was on the wrong end of one of the worst losses in Big Ten bowl Sophomore defensive end history and loses its quarterback, its two best running backs and its Ryan Russell (@RKRelentless) folleading receiver, not to mention its best defensive player. Hazell and whoever his coaches turn out to be have their hands full and the lowing the Boilermakers��� 58-14 loss to Oklahoma State on New Year���s 2013 schedule is a beast. We know this: The man won���t back down Day in the Heart of Dallas Bowl from a challenge.��� top receiver, as well as the starting center. But Hazell has proven throughout his career he is up for challenges, and he doesn���t see Purdue as a start-from-scratch job. ���There���s a lot of young offensive linemen and that���s where it starts and some good young quarterbacks to look at. From top to bottom the roster is pretty good right now,��� Hazell said during the bowl���s TV broadcast. He was not made available to local media for interviews. ���We���re going to have some more young guys coming in, but top to bottom it���s pretty good right now. We���re just not playing as well as we���d like to be (Tuesday).��� j ... all the fun ... all the food ... all the comfort ... all the services GoldanDBlack express ��� volume 23, express 16��� ������ 2
