By CRAIG DRAGASH ISL Correspondent Back in August, there were high hopes in West Lafayette; people knew perennial powers Ohio State and Penn State were ineligible for postseason play, and the Leaders division of the Big Ten was up for grabs for teams with the talent base that the 2012 Purdue Boilermakers possessed. Many felt that […]

By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor I asked Robert Marve about how he has dealt with the fact that Purdue coach Danny Hope has spent the better part of the past few years trying to rein him in. His response? “On or off the field?” That honest response tells a lot about Purdue’s new starting quarterback. In […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor After a week of unprecedented hoopla and an unexpected endorsement from ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit, all has unfortunately returned to normal in Boiler Country. Purdue was on top of the world a week ago. The Boilermakers were 3-1, had nearly knocked off Notre Dame and had become a trendy pick to […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor I sure hope Purdue doesn’t overlook Michigan on Saturday. Did I get you with that statement? I know, right? Since when does Purdue have to worry about overlooking the Wolverines? Since ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit declared the Boilermakers the favorites to win the Big Ten and go to the Rose Bowl. […]

Purdue quarterback Caleb TerBush was 27 of 37 for 294 yards passing and four touchdowns in the win, with three of the scores […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor It’s time for Caleb TerBush to bring it. Purdue’s quarterback has been the subject of intense scrutiny and more and more, it appears that coach Danny Hope’s cart is being tied to the TerBush horse. There are people who doubt that Hope can win this year, even with the perfect […]

By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor Robert Marve’s career day against Eastern Kentucky wasn’t enough to make him Purdue’s starting quarterback over Caleb TerBush. Coach Danny Hope said Tuesday that TerBush will start Saturday at Notre Dame. That says an awful lot about TerBush. After he was suspended for the opener and Marve passed for 295 […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Here we go again. That was the thought that crossed my mind Saturday when Purdue quarterback Robert Marve foolishly threw a pass down the middle of the field that was intercepted and looked so forced that Eastern Kentucky’s Brooklyn Fox must have been, had to have […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — Danny Hope probably could make as much money selling cars as he does coaching football. The fiery leader can find something positive in the most dismal performance. He’s had to be that way: Purdue has struggled on the field during his three-year tenure, and the injury bug has been awfully busy […]
