My college football team's season begins today on national television (ABC), so check them out! Are you ready for some football?
This year's team isn't as experienced, but expectations remain high. The Boilers potentially have a high-powered offense but possess an inexperienced defense with eight new starters.That defense will be facing one of the nation's best running backs today in the Orange's Walter Reyes.
"We think (the Boilermakers) are going to be good football players. . . . But you've got to kind of show me," said coach Joe Tiller, whose Purdue teams are 4-3 in openers. "I've got an opinion about these guys, but I've been around long enough to know that can go out the window in a hurry."
The same holds true for Purdue defensive coordinator Brock Spack, the man in charge of rebuilding that defense.
"I think the question with a young defense is how well you're going to tackle when it comes live," Spack said. "We've tried to put them in position to do that all fall camp, but it will be a little more intense. This guy (Reyes) is an awfully tough back."
